After the 2021 Senior Bowl, it is now to reset and look where things stand. I now have watched film on over 320 prospects eligible for the 2021 NFL Draft. I still have several more to go.
The 2021 safety class includes some intriguing prospects that either could be corners or LB/safety hybrids. A lot of fun chess pieces in this group.
I have watched 25 safeties so far.
You will see a tape score (5-10 scale) which accounts for 60%. A production score (5-10 scale) that accounts for 15%. And finally, a total score. Please note that my rankings are incomplete as they are missing the athletic score. This is 25% of the final total.
