Saturday Was Duke’s Day In The 2021 NFL Draft

Draft day is a big day for countless college athletes, from baseball players to lacrosse players.

But the NFL draft is the apex predator of American pro-sports-league-drafts. The NFL combine—it was canceled this year—and countless school-specific Pro Days, draft websites, magazines and mock drafts lead up to a three-day, nationally televised extravaganza with draft analysts falling all over themselves to critique over 200 draft picks.

If you are a Duke football fan, your interest in the NFL draft probably has related to how your favorite NFL is or is not enhancing their Super Bowl chances.

Because, in recent years, not a lot of former Blue Devils hear their names called.
