With the 2014 NFL Combine wrapping up this past week, I figured it would be an excellent time to release my updated version of player rankings.
On the far right column we have the players stock according to our first edition. If a player’s stock has fallen it will read: Down. If it has risen it will read: Up. And if it has stayed the same it will read: Same. Quite simple!
Leave me some comments in the comment section to let me know what you think!
