If there was ever a season to be an NFL player on the verge of breaking into a rotation spot, this would be the one. It looks increasingly likely that NFL coaches — and the league in general — will treat COVID-19 cases like short-term injuries. Despite long-term complications already having devastating effects on football players, the NFL will close their eyes, plug their ears and imagine it as sprained ankle.
As a result of this (besides the fact that it’s very likely an NFL player will fall gravely ill from an incurable disease), we will see much more team rotation in the league this year and thus, more UConn players.
