With the dreadful Superbowl finally over after what felt like ages, it is now time for us NFL fans to focus on the offseason. One of the most important parts of the offseason is the NFL Draft. All the best college players enter the draft for a chance to be drafted by a NFL team and hopefully have an eventful career in the NFL. Now without further ado, here are the top five players who entered the NFL Draft this year.
Kyler Murray
Kyler Murray was by far the best player in college football this season, and that's why he won the Heisman, yet why is he not on the top of this list? It's for two reasons: one is his height, where he's listed at 5 ft 10, but apparently 5 ft 9 which is very undersized for QB in the NFL, and the second is he isn't committed to playing football. Yes, he did declare for the NFL Draft, but he still has an MLB contract and has not said which sport he is committed too. Murray, however, is an electric player and I wouldn't be surprised if a team took a risk and picked him early even if they don't know which sport he's committed too; he's just that electric and game-changing. If Murray chooses football for sure, he is definitely top 3 on this list, but until he does, he'll have to be content being 5.
Dwayne Haskins
Dwayne Haskins was the best pure pocket thrower in the country this year and one of the best prospects to enter the NFL Draft this year. With so many teams in need for a quarterback this year, Haskins looks like a lock to be a first round pick. Haskins has the ability to turn any franchise into a winner just like Baker Mayfield did. I'm not saying he is as skilled as Mayfield, but he definitely has the ability to. While Haskins was only a one year starter at The Ohio State University, it won't be long before he is a household name to NFL Fans.
Quinnen Williams
Quinnen Williams is a scary man. He's big, strong, fast. Basically everything a coach wants out of their Defensive tackle. DT's have always been an important position in the NFL and with many teams always needing them, it looks as if Williams is lined up for a starting job. We could see the next Aaron Donald right in front of us playing for some team that struggled this past season.
Josh Allen
I don't wanna claim that Josh Allen himself made Kentucky's defense scary, but he sorta kinda did. Allen is an insane leader, great tackler, and just an all around monster at football. Kentucky's never been known as a football school, but when I saw Kentucky in the top 15 this year I was shocked, but then I watched a couple games and saw Josh Allen out there ballin out. He has that Khalil Mack sorta feeling and I think he's going to be special in the NFL.
Nick Bosa
It is a well known fact that Nick Bosa is the most dominant player coming into the NFL Draft. When you watch him on the field, all he does is disrupt and make plays. His brother, Joey Bosa, who's on the Chargers now was an insanely talented prospect and NFL player was pretty damn good, but scouts think that Nick Bosa is better. It's going to be fun watching him in the league, and if there's one guarantee in the NFL, it's that Nick Bosa is a top-3 pick.
