In today’s NFL, it’s rare to find a true “project” on rosters due to the ever-increasing demand for a return on investment when it comes to prospects.
Whether you’re a first-round pick or an undrafted free agent, there’s no true developmental process anymore it seems, as guys need to get onto the field quickly and see if they can stick it in the league or not, giving teams answers quickly on the fast-moving train that is the NFL world.
However, there are still some project players out there ahead of the 2021 season, according to Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon, one of which is Pittsburgh Steelers’ sixth-round draft pick Quincy Roche, who could find himself playing an important depth role in his rookie season in the Steel City.
