NFL Draft Diamonds 2020 Small School Rankings
Every year we try to put out a list of players who stick out when watching film. We have not been able to check out every school but from the film we have been able to review all these players have done a great job in the past couple seasons. Check it out and let us know what you think! If you want your film evaluated, send it to us on Twitter @DraftDiamonds
In case you were wondering why there are no grades on these rankings. I used to believe in posting rankings, but players and their families were complaining because they believed their sons were first rounders. Well, I know I am just projecting when I make my assessments, but I am not going to put any more pressure on a kid than he already has, Sorry!
