Several high-profile prospects in the 2021 NFL draft including Ja'Marr Chase, Rashod Bateman, Kenneth Gainwell, and Trey Lance opted out of the 2020 season, or a significant portion of it. What impact will missing these games have on their careers? Sean takes Bjorn and Tim on a deep dive into NFL history to examine the stories of guys who have missed a season, and how those players fared on the other side of their break.
Along the way you'll hear about the running back who was voted Super Bowl MVP but was not given the award, the player that cost seven draft picks in one year, the running back that held out when he was 31 years old, the QB that was drafted #6 overall after putting up a 2600 yard/7 TD/14 INT stat line, and the player that had his NCAA eligibility stolen from him by an NFL team before the draft.
