3 future NFL offensive rookies that will make impact regardless of draft pick

3 players that I think will make an impact regardless of when they are selected in the draft (offense)
1. Jalen Hurts:  Probably one of the biggest questions going into the 2020 NFL draft is when Jalen Hurts will get drafted.  To me he is one of the most improved players in the draft.  Before last season I saw him as a 6th rounder at best because before, his arm did not really impress me at Alabama.  This season at Oklahoma, what impressed me was the way he improved week by week and got better as the season went on.  In the NFL I only see him getting better.  It might take a year or two on the bench before he gets a chance, but I do see him starting eventually.

2. Cam Akers:  When you talk about NFL draft Running Backs, I think the most ready running back power, speed, and size wise for the NFL is Cam Akers.  I really do not see why he is not a first rounder.  To me he has the all of the attributes of a top tier NFL running back.  He is fast, he also runs with power, and has probably as much elusiveness as any other running back in the draft.  His stats from his college career might not show it, but to me he is probably the best pick for a team looking for an NFL ready running back.  No lies, if I were to pick either him to Dalvin Cook coming out of college, I would pick Akers because I think he is the type of back any NFL team would drool for.

3. Tee Higgins:  To me he will only need a year before he is shredding defenses in the NFL.  Tee Higgins is one of the best wide receivers in college football.  He is fast, extremely athletic, and is a winner meaning he will do what it takes to win.  His pro day was not the most impressive but he did have the measurable's of an upper 2nd round or late first round pick.  Either way, he will make a solid impact on any team that picks him.

NFL Draft to be fully remote in 2020

The 2020 NFL draft to be fully remote Heston Curry     4/9/2020 The NFL draft in 2020 will not take place in Las Vegas like many were hoping for.  Instead, the draft will literally take place not in war rooms and a stage, but NFL owners living rooms and homes with of course representatives in NFL team war rooms.  For draft preparations, the NFL is preparing to start a pre draft mock draft to test internet networks for the upcoming draft.  But the hope watching Joe Burrow get drafted first overall in front of a large crowd in Las Vegas sadly enough is not going to be a sight at the draft.   

The no call: A deep rewind

The no call, a little more than a year later... Heston Curry   4/14/20 Back in 2019, at the Marcedes-Benz superdome, we saw one of the worst no calls personally I have ever seen.  A uncalled pass interference call that would have given the Saints the ball at the 5 yard line, a new set of downs and with the Rams only having one timeout left, the Saints would have been able to run out the clock before scoring and leaving the Rams possibly only enough time for maybe a hail mary.  Even to this day I am pretty sure we all wonder to this day, what if the refs did call pass interference?  Well here is a full timeline from the NFC title game to the super bowl based on my opinion and possible prediction starting from that call to how I think it would have affected the super bowl. We will at first start with the penalty, the Rams are charged with the penalty and the Saints move up 10 yards because of the penalty getting the ball at the 3 yard line with more than a minute to kill, Saints

The Winston question

The Winston question By: Heston Curry  2/27/2020 In 2015, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers used their first overall pick to draft quarterback Jameis Winston out of Florida State University.  At the time, many saw Jameis Winston as the future or the next big thing in the NFL.  5 years later, it is the post season of the NFL's 100th season and Jameis Winston is at the end of his contract.  In the 2019-2020 season, Winston led the league in passing yards, threw for 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions and now a big question surrounds the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  Where will Jameis Winston go? As we all know, there are most likely going to be many teams in the NFL starting fresh with a new quarterback.  As it stands right now there will be 13 quarterbacks entering free agency from NFL rosters including Drew Brees, Phillip Rivers, and Tom Brady.  And in a time of total uncertainty all we can do is make speculations, so here are 3 NFL teams in my opinion that would take Jameis Winston on the
