2021 NFL Draft
- Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer says if the season is canceled, the NFL could use the NHL’s model to determine the draft order by conducting a weighted lottery with teams receiving more balls if they performed poorly the past few seasons.
- If the college football season is canceled, Breer acknowledges it eliminates opportunities for players to dramatically improve their stock. But he adds a lot of elite prospects, like Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence, are already pretty secure at this stage.
- Virginia Tech CB Caleb Farley has decided not to play during the 2020 college football season and will instead focus on training for the 2021 NFL draft. Farley is a potential first-round pick, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
