Top 100 overall prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft
Now that all the positional rankings for the 2021 NFL draft have been released, it’s time to put it all together and present my personal big board.
Since we’re looking at this from an outside perspective, team-specific boards, of course, will look different. However, I have strived to give a more general overview and rank the top 100 overall prospects, regardless of position.
As far as injuries and other factors are concerned, I have tried to consider injuries that I can project forward, like torn ACLs and Achilles tendons.
Top 100 prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft:
For NFL prospects like Virginia Tech’s Caleb Farley, Miami’s Jaelan Phillips and Kentucky’s Kelvin Joseph, I have not considered clean-up back procedures, concussion histories or poor environments around them. NFL teams that have the medical and background information may want to drop them down the board because of those reasons.
So, without further ado, let's have a look at the top 100 prospects, regardless of position, in the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft.
