It's NFL draft month, which means you'll be hearing a lot of comps for the top prospects in the 2023 class. These matches are typically based on the way prospects play the game, their physical measurements, their production, their versatility and role, similar traits or some combination of those lines of thought.
Prospect-to-player comparisons are useful because they give fans a sense of a player's style of play. They aren't always exact -- and in most cases they don't suggest the prospect will share the same level of success as the NFLer, for better or worse.
