FAQs

Is the 2024 NFL draft class good? ›

This QB class could end up as the best of the past decade -- and I expect there to be around 11 signal-callers drafted this year. Williams is the presumed No. 1 pick, but the pecking order gets interesting after that point. It's widely expected that Washington will stay at No. 2 and pick between Daniels and Maye.

The prospect recorded a 40-yard dash time of 4.55 seconds, a 10-yard split time of 1.54, a vertical jump of 29.5 inches, and a broad jump of 9 feet, 7 inches.

If they don't sign, they can re-enter the Draft next season, and if they still don't sign with the team that picks them, they can enter free agency and potentially land a contract elsewhere. It's rare, but it does happen.
