QB Wilson, WR Waddle confirm draft attendance … The NFL has confirmed that BYU QB Zack Wilson and Alabama WR Jaylen Waddle have been added to the list of players who will be attending next week’s draft in Cleveland in person. Waddle, of course, won’t be lonely in Cleveland as he’ll be part of a 5-man delegation from the national champions at this year draft which also includes fellow QB Mac Jones, WR DeVonta Smith, CB Patrick Surtain and DT Christian Barmore. The other players who have committed to attending next week’s festivities in person include North Dakota State QB Trey Lance, Florida TE Kyle Pitts, LSU WR Ja’Marr Chase, Northwestern OT Rashawn Slater, Pen State LB Micah Parsons, Virginia Tech CB Caleb Farley and Miami DE Greg Rousseau. Noticeably absent from the list, of course, is Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence, who will be the first player selected overall as he has reportedly chosen to watch the draft at home with his family. Same for Ohio State QB Justin Fields and Oregon OT Penei Sewell. All three though will be part of a group of 45 prospects who will participate in the draft virtually.
