58 Virtual NFL Draft Prospects

The NFL is taking full advantage of it's first "virtual" draft by having 58 of the prospects participate in it. Virtually. The league announced Monday that due to the current international situation that the 2020 NFL Draft will be a virtual draft. Instead of a bunch of people in one location there will be, maybe, one person in a bunch of locations. Instead of about 20 prospects getting a real hug from Roger Goodell, 58 prospects will be getting a virtual hug. These are the lucky 58.

A.J. Epenesa, Iowa DE
A.J. Terrell, Clemson CB
Andrew Thomas, Georgia OT
Antoine Winfield Jr., Minnesota S
Austin Jackson, USC OT
Brandon Aiyuk, Arizona State WR
C.J. Henderson, Florida CB
CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma WR
Cesar Ruiz, Michigan G
Chase Claypool, Notre Dame WR
Chase Young, Ohio State EDGE
Cole Kmet, Notre Dame TE
D'Andre Swift, Georgia RB
Denzel Mims, Baylor WR
Derrick Brown, Auburn DL
Ezra Cleveland, Boise State OT
Grant Delpit, LSU S
Henry Ruggs III, Alabama WR
Isaiah Simmons, Clemson LB
J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State RB
Jacob Eason, Washington QB
Jake Fromm, Georgia QB

K'Lavon Chaisson, LSU EDGE
Kenneth Murray, Oklahoma LB

Mekhi Becton, Louisville OT
Neville Gallimore, Oklahoma DT
Noah Igbinoghene, Auburn CB
Patrick Queen, LSU LB
Prince Tega Wanogho, Auburn OT
Ross Blacklock, TCU DT
Tee Higgins, Clemson WR
Terrell Lewis, Alabama EDGE
Thaddeus Moss, LSU TE
Tristan Wirfs, Iowa OT
Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama QB
Xavier McKinney, Alabama S
Yetur Gross-Matos, Penn State EDGE

I can't be the only one that's noticed that there are a lot of players in this draft, certainly among the top players, that have a first name that starts with a "J." 19 of the "Virtual 58" start with a "J." That's nearly a third. Throw in a Junior, a C.J. and a couple A.J.s. Four of the 19 "Js" are "JJs." The top quarterbacks boast an even greater concentration of "Js"

Joe Burrow
Justin Herbert
Jordan Love
Jalen Hurts
Jake Fromm
Jacob Eason

Only Tua Tagovailoa has no "J"

Anyway, congratulations to the "Virtual 58."
