The New Orleans Saints top wide receiver is unquestionably one of the best players in the league, and now one NFL analyst is taking that praise to another level.
Monday afternoon, Adam Schein of NFL.com took his "The Schein Nine" column in a new direction by choosing to focus on the NFL Draft and the stars that have come to prominence in the league. He wanted to go back through the past nine drafts and determine which player was the best to enter the league with each respective class.
This exercise was by no means a simple matter considering that many players were stacked with game-breaking talent. For example, the 2014 NFL Draft alone featured pass rushers in Jadeveon Clowney and Khalil Mack and top wide receivers in Mike Evans and Odell Beckham Jr., but defensive tackle Aaron Donald topped the list. Similarly, 2016 is best known for two franchise quarterbacks in Jared Goff and Carson Wentz, but Schein believes that wide receiver Michael Thomas has made a bigger impact in the NFL.
