1) 2021 NFL Draft Rumors: Washington Football Team select Kellen Mond (Second-Round Pick 51)
Washington came out this off-season and added veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. With the 19th pick in the first-round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Washington will go with a linebacker. There has been a lot of rumors that Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons could be available at 19 for Washington.
This leaves them with a second-round pick to fill their need for a quarterback. Kellen Mond has what Washington is looking for in a starting quarterback. Mond is a leader on and off the field. He also possesses the skill set to become a starting quarterback in the NFL.
2) 2021 NFL Draft Rumors: Pittsburgh Steelers select Kellen Mond (First-Round pick 24)
The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for a replacement for veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers may find gold if they decide to pick Kellen Mond with their 24th overall pick.
Pittsburgh will give Mond one season to sit behind Ben Roethlisberger to learn and adapt to the NFL. The Steelers are full of talent at the wide receiver position and will give Kellen Mond something he didn't have at Texas A&M, a defense. Mike Tomlin is one of the best coaches in the NFL and could land Roethlisberger's replacement in Kellen Mond.
3) 2021 NFL Draft Rumors: Seattle Seahawks select Kell Mond (Second-Round Pick 56)
This is potentially the final season when Russell Wilson will wear a Seattle Seahawks uniform. They'll need to find a replacement once he's gone. Kellen Mond could benefit a lot from sitting behind Russell Wilson for an entire season and learning the trade.
Pete Carroll is a great decision maker when it comes to the NFL Draft. If Kellen Mond is sitting there at number 56, it will not surprise anyone if they go with Mond in the second-round. With a year behind Russell Wilson getting used to the NFL, Kellen Mond will be ready to take over the Seahawks in his second year in the game.
