It is a crisp fall Saturday in the midwest. Fans are waking up in anticipation of Big Ten football as rivals acro s the conference go to battle. Iowa-Penn State is tightly contested but you are afraid of mi sing the end of the Wisconsin-Michigan game. Sadly, those are not choices to be made or experiences to be had this fall. The Big Ten made the decision, right or wrong, to cancel their fall football season and that created a trickle down effect to the fans, student-athletes, communities and more.CBS Sports can not put the toothpaste back in the tube but we can do our best to make sure those fans and the student-athletes representing those institutions are not forgotten. In what would normally be a preview of the conference, the top draft prospects to watch are examined.WR Rashod BatemanA year ago, , who is now with the , was the star receiver for the Gophers. As gifted as Johnson has proven to be, Bateman is the better prospect. He plucks the ball out of the air and is elusive after the catch. Working out of the slot, the Georgia native accumulated over 20 yards per reception in 2019. There is a high Daniel Descalso Jersey -price to pay for natural play-making ability and Bateman has it. OH MY. Tough to make a better catch than this one from Minnesota’s Rashod Bateman. CBS Sports HQ (@CBSSportsHQ) OT Daniel FaaleleFaalele is a ma sive human being but he moves better than would be expected of him. There are a lot of talented offensive linemen in this cla s so it is improbable, but not impo sible that he slips into the first round. Without a season, teams will probably be monitoring his weight and conditioning leading up to the draft. The same is true for most linemen that will not play this fall because it shows discipline and accountability. More to watchQuarterback Tanner Morgan is a smart, gritty quarterback who works well out of the pocket. Mohamed Ibrahim is a springy running back that is not afraid to administer pain. He does a good job of lowering his target zone and bursting through gaps. Tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford is another big Steven Souza Jersey target that was not heavily involved in the pa s game last season. However, he was going to be asked to do a lot more without Johnson and Bateman, who opted out before the season had been cancelled.OG Wyatt DavisDavis could have been a first-round pick had he entered the past draft cla s. It was a weak year for interior offensive line play so Davis would have had an early round monopoly. Instead, the strong offensive guard with an ideal frame and great lateral quickne s elected to return for another season. The expectation is that he finds himself under early consideration once again.QB Justin FieldsFields, along with Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence and North Dakota State’s Trey Lance, is regarded as one of the best quarterback prospects available. He has a natural feel for pre sure while in the pocket and keeps his eyes locked onto to his targets downfield. The Georgia transfer is a pa s-first player but is more than capable of burning defenses with his legs as well. Fields has great control of the Ohio State offense and it showed last season through high levels of efficiency. He is as close to a first-round lock as you will find eight months before the anticipated draft night. Justin Fields briefly left the Ohio State-Michigan game with a knee injury. First play back, he threw a DIME! SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) Fields has led the charge on attempting to convince the Big Ten to reverse course and play football this fall.C Josh MyersMyers was regarded as one of the premier high school football players in the country for awhile before dropping to a respectable 4-star status. It was initially believed that his future may be best served at offensive tackle but need and body development nece sitated a move inside. He has not mi sed a beat. Myers anchored one of the best interior offensive lines in college football last year sandwiched between , a third-round pick by the , and Davis.The center position is strong this year with Oklahoma’s Creed Humphrey, Iowa’s Tyler Linderbaum and Myers chief among them. WR Chris OlaveOlave attacks Brad Boxberger Jersey each repetition as if it is a deciding play in the College Football Playoff. He is a precise route-runner that glides effortle sly acro s the gridiron. He is thin and is known to be knocked off his routes by more physical defensive backs but he snags the ball out of the air with confidence. The Buckeye had himself in that conversation of Tier II receivers following LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase and Alabama’s Devonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle.CB Shaun WadeThere was an impre sion around the league that Wade would have been a first-round pick had he entered the draft this year. The stance was only validated after seeing some of the cornerbacks that were taken in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Wade played in the slot due to the presence of and on the boundary. However, he was expected to slide outside and showcase Alex Avila Jersey his talents there this year. He does a great job of getting off blocks and contributing to the run defense in addition to being in the hip pocket of opposing receivers. Wade gets up to speed quickly and has great size.More to watchInside linebacker Baron Browning and defensive lineman Tyreke Smith were two players that would have benefited from a larger role and more exposure this season. Browning po se ses immense talent and could have elevated his stock to potential first round consideration. Oklahoma running back transfer Trey Sermon was mysteriously absent for the Sooners at times last season. Alongside Master Teague, he would have played a large role for the Big Ten’s most talented running back committee. The Buckeyes have not used their tight ends much in the pa s game but Luke Farrell and Jeremy Ruckert are long players that have made a name for themselves as blockers. Inside linebacker Pete Werner is a smaller inside linebacker that moves well.LB Micah ParsonsThe Parsons hype train is far down the tracks. There are few players that move as well as him at his size. He is Adam Jones Jersey a sure-fire first round pick and one of the best linebacker prospects to come along in awhile. The Nittany Lions have not cut him lose as a pu s rusher but he looks more than capable. He is comfortable in coverage and shows a burst reserved for a star. Parsons could use this time off to continue adding muscle. Pro Football Focus Believes Micah Parsons Is The Best LB Prospect In Nearly A Decade Barstool Penn State (@PSUBarstool) TE Pat FreiermuthThe Ma sachusetts native is a controlled player with soft hands. There is little wasted movement to his game and he is not afraid to make a catch in traffic. He is not used as an inline blocker, which means his pa s protection could use some work. Freiermuth has proven to be a reliable option for quarterback Sean Clifford. Florida’s Kyle Pitts and Freiermuth stand out as the early leaders in the clubhouse to be the first tight end off the board next April. More to watchPenn S
