The 2022 NFL draft is getting closer, which means you'll start hearing comparisons between some of the top prospects in the class and current/former NFL players. Those matches could be based on the way the prospects play the game, their physical measurements, their production, their versatility and role, similar traits or some combination of those lines of thought. But regardless, NFL draft evaluators often comp players coming out of college to established pros to put a name and a face to what they bring.
Comps are an easy way for fans to get a sense of a player's style of play.
