Week 3 of the NFL season has flown by, much like the changing of the seasons. As we delve deeper into the season, we should begin to distinguish between the contenders and the pretenders.
Tom Brady, Stefon Diggs, George Kittle. Every NFL draft contains a clutch of late-round gems who outplay where they were selected and became stars. The 2021 draft will be no exception.
Derrick Barnes kept teams guessing during a college career where he played multiple roles at Purdue. That same versatility will make Barnes a valuable Day 3 pick in the 2021 NFL draft. His ability to play both inside and outside linebacker and rush off the edge will surely earn him some interest. The team that takes a chance will get a flexible playmaker who knows how to wreck both phases of an offense.
Protecting Patrick Mahomes was the Kansas City Chiefs’ priority entering 2021 NFL free agency. Andy Reid had seen the franchise take enough bumps when Mahomes was bludgeoned by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass rush in Super Bowl LV. Reid and general manager Brett Veach acted once the veteran market opened.
