Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert thinks the 2014 NFL Draft Class is the deepest he has seen, but also the most immature class he has seen in 30 years in the profession. ‘Experience has told us that a lot of these younger players aren’t ready for this,’ Colbert said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. ‘It’s a huge leap. I don’t think a lot of them understand that until they actually get on a playing field and see the increase in the quality of play.’
Footballguys View: A record number of juniors left college to enter the NFL draft this year. With 102 players coming in as juniors (or redshirt sophomores), we may only see about half of them selected in the draft.
