In late April last year, just three days after the draft, I penned an article titled “Why 2020 Cowboys rookies could contribute more in their rookie year than most previous draft classes.” At the time, I wondered if “this draft class could approach 3,500 snaps, which would make it one of the best draft classes since 2005. That draft class, led by DeMarcus Ware, Marcus Spears, Jay Ratliff, and Chris Canty, totaled 3,910 snaps.”
The 2020 rookie class played 3,770 snaps, so my optimistic projection turned out to be correct. Unfortunately, this was not because I have been blessed with the gift of prophecy.
