The 2020 season was unfortunate for many reasons. For one, a lot of teams were unable to reach their full potential in a COVID-19-shortened schedule. And two, certain players who were hoping to improve their draft stock didn’t have enough of a sample size to do so.

A perfect example of both of those would have to be Oregon, which got hot at the end of the year, and both CJ Verdell and Travis Dye in the run game.
