As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, college football players across the country are facing the harsh reality of the waiting game. With marquee names such as Caleb Williams from USC, Marvin Harrison Jr. from Ohio State, and J.J. McCarthy from Michigan in the mix, the competition is fierce for these young athletes.
However, there are also seven notable figures to watch who may face an extended wait during the draft. Jordan Travis, the QB from Florida State, is in a tough spot due to a lack of starting-caliber traits. Similarly, Sam Hartman from Notre Dame may not warrant more than a late-round flier despite a prolific college career.
Cody Schrader, a RB from Missouri, is facing challenges in convincing NFL teams to invest in his size and speed. T’Vondre Sweat, a DT from Texas, is a force on the field but his build and recent arrest could impact his draft stock. Tommy Eichenberg, a LB from Ohio State, excels in run defense but struggles in pass coverage. Jeremiah Trotter Jr., a LB from Clemson, may face difficulties at the next level despite his impressive college career. Lastly, Kalen King from Penn State sees his stock drop after a disappointing season and may need to adjust his playing style for a successful NFL career.
These players are all talented in their own right, but as the NFL Draft approaches, they will need to navigate the challenges that come with transitioning to the next level of competition. Stay tuned to see where these athletes land and how they will make their mark in the NFL.
