One of the most challenging things to do when it comes to the NFL draft is coming up with viable and reasonable player comparisons between prospects and NFL pros. Nevertheless, we have undertaken the thankless process and put together our five favorite comps to players currently in the NFL with one obvious caveat.
Jeanty is a tough comp because we feel like where he is now is nowhere near where he has a chance to finish. So in the current NFL, we see Jeanty as a close comp to Rams RB Kyren Williams but his ceiling is that of NFL legend and former Dallas Cowboy Emmitt Smith.
I've seen a lot of Richard Sherman comps here thanks to Revel's man skills and length but sticking to the theme, we are going with Tairq Woolen, who is a similar type of player.
Sanders' game is his processing speed and ability to operate off of play action but he lacks plus mobility and athleticism. This is Goff to a tee.
Burden's game was largely bound by the Missouri offense where he was utilized in a lot of hitches and screens and he excelled. This is exactly what Samuel does best but both guys can break upfield and take the top off when necessary.
Walker, like Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, is an inside outside force with crazy instincts and physical gifts. Both guys can line up at inside linebacker and make the Pro Bowl but will be elite coming off the edge.
