We're officially into the pre-NFL draft process for the 2024 class, with all-star events kicking off. I'm down in Texas at the East-West Shrine Bowl this weekend, and I'll be on a plane to Alabama for the Senior Bowl next week.
That's just the start, though. The combine is one month away, pro days will dominate March and teams will start having prospects for official visits as we get closer to the start of the draft on April 25. That gives a lot of time and opportunity for prospects to climb draft boards.
We see it every year -- a few prospects who build momentum throughout the months leading up to the draft, seemingly come out of nowhere and get drafted much higher than expected.
