It would have been interesting to see if the trajectory of the program would have been different without Covid. 2019 was an awesome year but a big part of our ability to directly capitalize on it was killed by Covid and the mess it made of the 2020 season.
The article you quoted was from 2020. Last supplemental draft was in 2019 and has not been once since. So while it was certainly very common prior to 2019 the lawyer isn't going to be able to make a case that the NFL is doing something different by not holding a supplemental draft since there...
NFL decides not to have a supplemental draft. Love it....looks like he can go play in the CFL if he wants to next year. Wonder what kind of action he can get on those games?

A few guys on that list we definitely could have used but for the most part it was probably best for both them and the team that they found a new home.
It is really sad to see the state of sports "journalism" at this point. Most of it either seems to be written by fans of a particular program or AI generated. There is definitely little to no review of anything that gets posted based on the constant mistakes and clear lack of any real research...
Would be interesting to see this same story from like 5 years ago or before the portal really exploded. Guessing the lists would be a whole lot shorter in general. Crazy to see the amount of player movement now.
I mean he was never really here to begin with since he never committed. Bummer because he looked like a good prospect but that is just the way recruiting goes. You win some and you lose some.
Yep....guessing they didn't think they would get as much pushback as they did. Assume they were hoping people would just move on to something else and when it didn't happen they had to shift gears.
It probably does some for the casual fan that really doesn't understand what is going on in college athletics right now.
Those people might see a downtrodden team like Indiana rise to the top and think if they can do it then everyone else should be able to as well. Those people would be wrong...
Will be interesting to see how the NFL deals with the gambling past. Someone will pick him up for sure but there is going to be a massive cloud following him given his past.
Yep....everything came together perfectly for them. And teams will be chasing that same quick turnaround and almost all of them will fail miserably and not come anywhere close.
