The Miami Dolphins may be bracing for a massive test against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday but the team’s front office will have their hands full today with some other tasks. First and foremost, the team’s scouting department will be keeping a close eye on another weekend of college football action. As the college season forges forward, NFL teams will continue to take advantage of the added sample size to study eligible prospects for the 2021 NFL Draft.
Who should Miami be keeping a close eye on today? Here are five talents playing that could be possible top-100 selections in next year’s draft.
WR Jaylen Waddle, Alabama Crimson Tide
Waddle served as one of Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa’s top targets during their two year overlap with the Crimson Tide. Waddle is everything the current crop of Dolphins wide receivers isn’t — namely blindingly fast (as compared to the size targets) and durable (as compared to Jakeem Grant). Waddle is a dynamic open field athlete and an absolute terror on quick throws as a threat to make a house call. And with two 1st-round wide receivers out of the picture this season, Waddle is going to make a big splash this season. He logged 8 receptions for over 130 yards and 2 scores last week.
The Tide play Texas A&M in a ranked matchup this afternoon.
