Earlier in the week, I looked at the athleticism of Washington’s 2021 draft class compared to some of the most athletic draft classes in the past 30+ years. That was a relatively easy exercise compared to what I’m proposing to do today, which is to try to plumb the depths of these players’ characters. There are no easy single metrics, there are no in-person interviews. I don’t have access to anything about them beyond what I can find on the internet through relatively straightforward searches.
Going in to the search, I had no idea what I was going to come out with, but I looked at a variety of factors, including: academic success, team captainships, special recognition for community work, and any testimonials I could find about each of these players.
