Can you believe the 2020 NFL Draft was three months ago? Training camp is moments away from kicking off, and if all goes as plans, the season will be here before we know it. Rookies are reporting to camp, and will begin their first season in the NFL while trying to make a positive impression to crack the starting lineup.
With the preseason getting cancelled, rookies will need to prove themselves in camp workouts now more than ever. Without those game reps in preseason (no matter how limited or meaningless we think they are), rookies won’t have opportunities to make splashes against NFL competition and force NFL coaches to make tough decisions when it comes to playing time with veteran players.
