One of the largest myths in college football is the statement that lower school athletes can never succeed at the next level. From Cooper Kupp (Los Angeles Rams, Eastern Washington) to Terron Armstead (New Orleans Saints, Arkansas Pine-Bluff), the NFL is packed with talented FCS players. Perhaps the most interesting FCS player has been Carson Wentz (Philadelphia Eagles, North Dakota State), coming from the same college as one of the better quarterbacks in the 2021 NFL Draft, Trey Lance.
As a result of the current COVID-19 climate, North Dakota State (NDSU) could only play one game in the fall.
