The New England Patriots have received ample criticism about their struggles in the NFL Draft and their difficulties about finding the next superstars. While they have been able to find some diamonds in the rough, the team’s track record as of late has been spotty.
However, the 2021 draft class, especially one young prospect, looks to change that narrative.
ESPN recently ranked the top 25 young prospects around the league with the following criteria:
- Third round selection or later from in-between 2019-2021
- Fewer that 500 career snaps (300 for running backs)
- Yet to sign a contract extension
- Younger that 26 years old as of Sept.
