If say the NFL had allowed high school seniors the option to be drafted into the NFL once they graduate in lieu of waiting 3 years, who are the rare players who could have realistically made that jump?
This is not to say that they would be “great” as a rookie but could have either started or have made a meaningful contribution to their team.
The first person that comes to mind for me is Adrian Peterson, but I’m curious to see what other players may have fit that mold.
