For many athletes, 2023 marks the end of their collegiate football career and the start of their professional career. The 2024 NFL Draft is rich with storylines, and the defensive line features some of the most dynamic playmakers in the draft. Like the offensive line, the defensive line is typically referred to as the ‘Meat and Potatoes’ of the draft, where talented players can be found later in rounds and make up a large part of the success of a team’s defense.
Will an NFL team find the next Aaron Donald, or will they be searching to draft the position again next year? The analysis from The League Winners should help readers sift through the nonsense to determine the potential of each player going into the NFL.
