It has been a significant challenge for NFL teams to scout players for the 2020 NFL draft. With the vast majority of pro days canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and all in face pre-draft meetings nixed, the NFL Scouting Combine was the only real chance for teams to interact face-to-face with teams.
But not every player in the draft got the opportunity. This includes La. Tech. guard Kevin Dotson. He was the first non-combine player drafted when the Pittsburgh Steelers took him in the fourth round with the 135th overall pick.
Dotson isn’t the nimble athlete of David DeCastro but as a straight phonebooth guard who enjoys handing out pancakes like a server at IHOP, Dotson should project as a starter at some point. He comes to the league with 52 career starts and is a definite upgrade over B.J. Finney.
