2023-24 off-season transactions

I have looked at a couple of mock drafts and no mention of Stiggers. That is truly stupid!

Why would he be in a mock draft? No one really knows him down south other than scouts, and he still has to work out for individual teams. His journey is far from over.

This is a key point. Mocks are based on players in college -- no mock drafter looks outside that pool, and why would they? The number of players drafted all-time who did not come from a college program is probably close to zero.

Thanks for this. Interestingly, most of the players listed in the piece called "NFL Players Drafted From High School" were not, in fact, drafted but rather signed their first contracts as free agents. Only a couple got drafted despite never playing college football. Hopefully Stiggers adds his name to that exclusive list.
