I've been asking around this morning, and it sure seems like 2020 is a rough year for players who go undrafted. I think we underestimate how important it is to have a Pro Day; that's where NFL scouts can really get a feel for those guys who are outside the range of being drafted but still worth signing. Without having those workouts - plus the individual workouts teams will hold in the spring - a lot of guys aren't getting signed when they might have in the past. I think that has really hurt some of the Pitt guys like Aaron Mathews and Amir Watts and Saleem Brightwell and Kylan Johnson (it was posted on the board that Johnson signed, but I haven't been able to confirm that yet).
