Jonathan Marshall is a raw but scheme-versatile defensive lineman teams shouldn’t ignore in the later rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft. Marshall’s flexibility and potential could land him a starting role in a multiple-front defense at the next level.
In 2017, Jordan Smith was dismissed from the Florida Gators following a credit card fraud scheme he was a part of. He spent a year at a JUCO school before landing with UAB in 2019. During his time at UAB, Smith was one of the best players in the C-USA conference.
With over seven quarterbacks expected to be picked within the first two days of the NFL Draft, teams in need of some depth at the position could be looking at some day-three guys. Brady White is one of these quarterbacks getting this day three attention.
Khyiris Tonga is one of the more intriguing interior defensive linemen in the 2021 NFL draft class. He possesses awesome physical strength, above-average move skills, and the versatility to be shifted across the line of scrimmage.
Missouri is sending two safeties to the NFL this year. Both of Tyree Gillespie and Joshuah Bledsoe are sleepers and many people’s “my-guys” in the safety class. Gillespie is more of the free safety type, while Bledsoe is more of a nickel corner/strong safety type of player. Bledsoe hasn’t taken many reps as a deep safety, and that might hurt his draft stock and sink him to the day three conversation.
Wyatt Hubert is a very interesting prospect. For a true edge rusher, Hubert is a tad undersized. He does know how to make the best of this situation though and can always be seen working to gain leverage on the line.
If an NFL team is needing a corner come day three, Ambry Thomas could be the guy to select. He has the prototypical NFL length and it has shown on the field. He is one of the most experienced man-coverage corners in this draft class, as that was pretty much all he played in Michigan’s defense. Thomas currently holds some day-three projections but could make some noise in day two if corners go early and often.
Walker Little may be the most interesting offensive lineman in the entire 2021 NFL Draft class. Having not taken an in-game snap since late August of 2019, there are some fair concerns about the Stanford man. However, in the games that he played in, Little played every bit like a top-class NFL offensive lineman prospect.
Tyler Shelvin will appeal to any NFL team looking for a classic, space-eating nose tackle in the 2021 NFL Draft. Especially if those teams are prepared to wait for a bargain in the later rounds. A team willing to let him play to his strengths will land a steal.
There are plenty of prospects who don’t meet the thresholds regarding size in the NFL. Drew Dalman is another player in a long line of players this year who have family ties to the NFL. His father, Chris Dalman also played in the big leagues for the 49ers for seven seasons. Now, another son of a former player is set to have his name called next weekend.
Marco Wilson became an overnight internet sensation. But not in any good way. In Week 15, of the College football season, Wilson cost his team a shot at the college football playoff. After a stop on defense that would ensure the Florida Gators’ victory, Wilson decided to throw an LSU player’s shoe about 15 yards down the field.
The Pittsburgh Panthers have many intriguing prospects heading to the 2021 NFL Draft. Pittsburgh is sending two pass rushers to the NFL with Rashad Weaver and Patrick Jones II declaring. Jones may be the better of the two and offers some great traits in his pass-rushing and run-defending skills. He is likely going to be a day three pick and would be a nice value selection at that spot.
