The 2020 NFL Draft will take place next week, and Alabama LB Anfernee Jennings will almost certainly hear his name called at some point.
The question is — will it be on Day 2 or Day 3 of the event? ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. recently weighed in on Jennings’ potential during a podcast.
Kiper said he thinks Jennings would be a great value pick in Round 4 or Round 5 of the draft (via 247Sports):
“Anfernee Jennings is a smart football player,” Kiper said in a recent podcast. “He’s got dual versatility. He’s 256 pounds. Decent arm length. But he was just highly productive. And he smells out plays. He’s got really good diagnostic ability. I think as maybe a fourth- or fifth-round guy, Jennings will be a nice pickup.”
Rounds 4 and 5 will take place on Day 3 of the draft next Saturday. Will Jennings be on the board still? Or, will someone make the leap and take him on Day 2?
