The coronavirus has wreaked havoc on all sports, the NFL included. Games, and entire seasons, were cancelled or postponed. Earlier this week, it was announced that the NFL Combine would be 'reimagined' in 2021. In-person activities, such as the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, and positional drills, will now be conducted at each school's pro day, or at local combines.

Positional drills, as well as athletic testing, will now be conducted locally. Generally, testing numbers at pro days are a bit exaggerated. It still remains unclear how the NFL will regulate consistent testing, but one thing is clear, this is the...
If we thought the draft process was unusual last year, we are in for a treat in 2021. Last year, really on pro days were affected with the draft going virtual. This year, however, the NFL Scouting Combine was all but canceled. That means no centralized location for teams to get all the information they can on 300+ prospects. That also means the 2021 Senior Bowl just became that much more important for some prospects to showcase their skillsets to the NFL.
The Senior Bowl is the premier all-star game of the offseason where every NFL is highly represented. It...
The 2021 NFL Draft class is one of the most anticipated in a long time, especially at the quarterback position. In the case of Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields, it feels as if we have been waiting for them to hither NFL. Trey Lance and Zach Wilson have skyrocketed up draft boards over the past few seasons. However, both are full of natural talent in their own right, which only adds to a class that promises to cause debate for years to come.
Before we get into the rankings I would just like to point out that these rankings are...
I took a few weeks to catch myself up on the offensive tackles in the 2021 NFL Draft and there are a lot of impressive guys. Unfortunately, someone is going to get left out of this list. So without further ado, let’s jump right in and hit these rankings.
1. Penei Sewell, Oregon--6’5”, 320lbs
Scheme Fit: Vertical Power Run
I will try not to dwell too long on the obvious but this is by far the best offensive tackle in this draft, and he has been one of the highest graded tackles in the draft for some time. There is nothing this...
The 2020 NFL regular season is now in the books! This was a regular season unlike any other with limited fans, games getting delayed and rescheduled multiple times, and key players missing key games. Such is life in the NFL amidst a global pandemic. Amazingly, however, the NFL was able to play all 256 regular season games in 17 weeks and finish the season on time. That feat alone needs to get more recognition for the job by everyone associated with the NFL for completing that feat. With the regular season now finished, 14 teams will start the battle...
Following a loss to Oklahoma in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, Florida QB Kyle Trask took to Twitter to announce his intention to declare for the 2021 NFL Draft. Trask has put up impressive numbers all season for the Gators, which has been enough to be named a 2020 Heisman Trophy finalist. However, despite the success that Kyle Trask and the Gators have had this season, there are still massive questions regarding his future in the NFL. More so, where does Kyle Trask's draft stock go from here? Let's break it all down.

We've all asked the question, right? If you had the opportunity to become an NFL head coach or general manager, which current opening would you prefer? Which NFL opening is the most desirable?
Would you prefer to be in Jacksonville? The number one pick in the 2021 NFL Draft is certainly enticing, but are you willing to put up with helicopter ownership? Are you willing to take a job in which winning has become a rarity?
How about Houston? A young quarterback that appears to be one of the best in the NFL. However, former HC/GM Bill O'Brien dismantled the roster...
The 2021 NFL Draft is full of playmaking wide receiver talent. Most evaluators assume that the top two guys are Alabama's Devonta Smith and LSU's Jamarr Chase. Devonta Smith is in the midst of an incredible season. In fact, he may become the first WR since 1996 to win the Heisman Trophy. This season, Smith has 105 catches, 1,641 yards and 20 touchdowns in just twelve games. Chase is an uber talented player in his own right and is coming off a strong 2019 season. Last season, Chase recorded 84 receptions for 1,780 yards and 20 touchdowns. Therefore, despite...
Capped off by an entertaining game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Football Team, we now have the first eighteen picks of the 2021 NFL Draft order finalized. The Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets had their picks finalized last week following the Jaguars' loss to the Chicago Bears. Now, as the regular season is officially complete, we've got a clearer picture of where most teams will be drafting in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Picking third in the 2021 NFL Draft will be the Miami Dolphins. They have this pick as part of a trade with the Houston Texans...
Welcome to 2021! It's January, which means that it's time for a new 2021 NFL Mock Draft. Two picks are set in stone as the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets have locked themselves into the first and second picks. January is really the start of the NFL Draft process as we get into decision time for players to declare for the 2021 NFL Draft. Topping everything off in January is the Reese's Senior Bowl on January 30th, which is preceded by a week of practices, which are attended by NFL scouts.
I haven't published a mock draft in a few...
