Mike Mayock has been the NFL Network’s chief draft analyst since 2005. Each year, he does an exclusive position-by-position breakdown of the draft for the Inquirer and Daily News, selecting the best player at each position, plus the top riser and sleeper.
Mayock, who lives in Newtown Square, is a graduate of the Haverford School and was a three-year starting safety for Boston College. He was a 10th-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1981 and played two seasons with the New York Giants. He was the 2017 recipient of the Jack Horrigan award from the Pro Football Writers of America, presented to a league or club official who helps reporters covering the NFL do their job.
