2021 NFL Draft Risers and Fallers: Late February
The 2021 NFL offseason is going to be unlike any other offseason we have seen. With no NFL Scouting Combine and no in-person visits, teams have limited access to prospects. Heck, we didn’t even get an East-West Shrine Bowl this offseason. We did get a Senior Bowl, however, and that even takes on even more importance after a shortened season (for many teams).
And so, many of the early risers and fallers storylines in February are going to have ties to the Senior Bowl. That will likely change in the coming weeks, but not as much as it would during a normal offseason. Teams will be doing more virtual meetings and probably talking to more prospects than they normally would have, but the access just won’t be the same. And no NFL Scouting Combine means no mingling between agents, general managers, coaches, and players, in addition to not being able to judge the Underwear Olympics.
Here, we’ll take a look at a few of the current 2021 NFL Draft risers and fallers.
