The NFL season begins on September 11 - watch the Kansas City Chiefs host the Houston Texans in the opener live on Sky Sports NFL
Rarely have NFL rookies faced a tougher introduction to the professional ranks than in 2020 as teams overcome the hurdles posed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Nevertheless, this year's NFL Draft delivered some of the most gifted college football stars in recent years, whether the loaded wide receiver class, a stacked offensive tackle group or the rising franchise quarterbacks.
Both of these first-round wide receivers - selected back-to-back at 21 and 22 - have big roles to fill in 2020, and there will be a lot of pressure on their shoulders. Their careers will forever be compared after Eagles fans expected their team to take Jefferson, only for the Vikings to be pleasantly surprised with his fall.
In Philadelphia, wide receiver play was absent last season and they are in dire need of help. They ended the season with Greg Ward and Deontay Burnett on the outside, and this year Reagor is likely the top outside option with DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery contributing on the rare occasions they make the field. Philly's top pick could be in for a big year.
Similarly, expect Jefferson to step right in and contribute. Stefon Diggs leaves behind 94 targets (which led the team) from last season after he was traded to Buffalo, and Jefferson has the talent and slot-receiver savvy to replace Olabisi Johnson or Tajae Sharpe with ease. บาคาร่า Gclub
In your first NFL season, you are drafted in to protect a newly-acquired, Hall of Fame quarterback in Tom Brady as he begins a new era in Tampa Bay. How about that for a first-year assignment?
According to Football Outsiders, the Buccaneers ranked 23rd in the NFL in Adjusted Line Yards and 22nd in Adjusted Sack Rate in 2019. Jameis Winston was sacked 47 times, just once behind joint leaders Matt Ryan, Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray.
Brady is clearly better at avoiding pressure than Winston, but his New England line ranked fifth in Adjusted Sack Rate last year and first in 2018. Will his new big boys upfront be able to take care of the 42-year-old?
