Following the NFL draft, there is a surge of excitement among fans as they hope their teams have found key players to address their needs. However, the reality is that not all rookie performances meet expectations; injuries can sideline them, and not every drafted player makes an impact. For instance, Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy missed opportunities that could have been pivotal for him due to injury. Meanwhile, undrafted free agents can surprise and become valuable contributors, showcasing the unpredictable nature of player development in the league.
