In the last month, the University of Michigan football program has added three four-star commits. The latest is Collins Acheampong, an athlete who projects to be placed on the defensive line. https://twitter.com/collins_xi/status/1545483021851115520 Acheampong is a very interesting recruit in that he has not played football since his freshman year of high school. Even after taking time off to pursue basketball as his main sport, he has remained a top-300 prospect in the Class of 2023.

There is not a doubt in the world that the University of Oklahoma has been a hub for NFL-ready quarterbacks with high college pedigrees. Since the turn of the century, there have been 22 players to win the Heisman Trophy, 18 of them being quarterbacks.

For the entirety of the league, the 2021 NFL Draft Class will be one to remember. We have already seen records broken, names established and only a handful of players that have yet to play a snap. For the Philadelphia Eagles, the 2021 draft will hopefully be one to remember after the team added DeVonta Smith with the tenth overall selection after lead-frogging the New York Giants along with early contributors in Landon Dickerson and Kenneth Gainwell. While it is impossible to expect results from mid to late-round rookies, there is an argument to be made that the Eagles got…
