Alabama left tackle Cam Robinson is among three Crimson Tide standouts who declared for the NFL draft on Friday. Robinson was joined by cornerback Marlon Humphrey and receiver ArDarius Stewart. The three announced their decisions at a campus press conference.

The 6-foot-6, 327-pound Robinson is rated the top offensive tackle for the 2016 draft and the 14th overall prospect by NFLDraftScout.com. He has been a dominating anchor on the Crimson Tide offensive line in his three college seasons and won the Outland Trophy this season as the nation's top interior lineman.
Humphrey, a third-year sophomore, is bypassing his final two seasons of eligibility. The son of former Alabama star and NFL running back Bobby Humphrey is rated the second-best cornerback and 20th overall prospect by NFLDraftScout.com.
Stewart is viewed as a mid-round pick in this year's draft. He had a team-best 864 receiving yards as a junior.
"These three players have made significant contributions, not only in how they played but how they affected their teammates," coach Nick Saban said at the press conference. "We have a great appreciation for this, and we appreciate them more than you know. They are part of the fabric of this organization."
Robinson's stock has remained high despite being charged last May for illegal possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
He didn't face prosecution because the district attorney handling the case dropped the charges, citing Robinson's football potential.
