With just a week until the 2020 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers front office has finalized their draft board and finishing up prep for a draft in this new world. When anyone, whether it’s a fan or a general manager looks at a prospect, it is only natural to look for comparisons to NFL players, past or present.
Here are my comparisons for six of the top prospects for the Steelers.
QB Jalen Hurts/Dak Prescott
It would be too generous to compare Hurts to Lamar Jackson, although the athletic comparisons are valid. But in the big picture, Hurts with a year or two to sit behind Ben Roethlisberger could turn him into a quarterback every bit as talented as Prescott. Both guys are hard workers, students of the game and work their best on the move.
