The NFL Draft is the most talked-about event in NFL circles during this time of year.
Without games being played at this time, and the craziness of free agency being over, for the most part, the draft is something fans and analysts can discuss to get their NFL fix.
When diving into the top prospects in a draft class, it is common for analysts to compare them to current or past NFL players.
This was put on full display during a recent segment on the NFL Network, where Michael Robinson gave a comparison for top receiver prospect Malik Nabers.
“He reminds me of like a Deebo Samuel type of a guy,” Robinson said.

This is high praise for Nabers, especially when considering how successful Samuel has been throughout his career.
Samuel has been used as a gadget player at times, as the San Francisco 49ers have relied on his speed and athleticism to help them make plays.
If Nabers can have this level of impact on his new team, they will be that much better because of him.
This year’s draft class seems to have more fundamentally-sound receivers than there have been in recent years.
With this in mind, Nabers could be one of several receivers taken in the first round of this year’s draft, making for an exciting first day of picks.
Fans will carefully observe and listen to the noise over the next several days, hoping to get the best inside scoop as to where players like Nabers will end up.
