Five Alabama players highlight the list of 26 players who will attend the 2012 NFL Draft at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Find the full list after the jump. After Alabama, LSU will have the most players in attendance with three.

The best player not invited? That would be Stanford guard David DeCastro. But judging by DeCastro's reserved nature, he probably turned down an invitation. Why Ohio State Mike Adams, Stanford's Jonathan Martin and Iowa's Riley Reiff won't be there is less certain.
