Fit is critical when it comes to the NFL draft.
Sure, there are myriad factors that determine whether players will find NFL success. But the matching of talent, scheme, surrounding cast and expectations can be a massive determinant on whether players work out or don’t.
Landing spots are simply crucial to the equation. Some prospects just seem to end up in tough spots. Maybe the team drafting them thinks they know how best to employ them but ultimately don’t. Perhaps the head coach and/or general manager is/are on the hot seat, and the next regime won’t be as high on their ability.
