With the dreadful Superbowl finally over after what felt like ages, it is now time for us NFL fans to focus on the offseason. One of the most important parts of the offseason is the NFL Draft. All the best college players enter the draft for a chance to be drafted by a NFL team and hopefully have an eventful career in the NFL. Now without further ado, here are the top five players who entered the NFL Draft this year.

Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray was by far the best player in college football this season, and that's why he won the Heisman, yet why is he not on the top of this list? It's for two reasons: one is his height, where he's listed at 5 ft 10, but apparently 5 ft 9 which is very undersized for QB in the NFL, and the second is he isn't committed to playing football. Yes, he did declare for the NFL Draft, but he still has an MLB contract and has not said which sport he is committed too. Murray, however, is an electric player and I wouldn't be surprised if a team took a risk and picked him early even if they don't know which sport he's committed too; he's just that electric and game-changing. If Murray chooses football for sure, he is definitely top 3 on this list, but until he does, he'll have to be content being 5.

Dwayne Haskins

Dwayne Haskins was the best pure pocket thrower in the country this year and one of the best prospects to enter the NFL Draft this year. With so many teams in need for a quarterback this year, Haskins looks like a lock to be a first round pick. Haskins has the ability to turn any franchise into a winner just like Baker Mayfield did. I'm not saying he is as skilled as Mayfield, but he definitely has the ability to. While Haskins was only a one year starter at The Ohio State University, it won't be long before he is a household name to NFL Fans.

Quinnen Williams

Quinnen Williams is a scary man. He's big, strong, fast. Basically everything a coach wants out of their Defensive tackle. DT's have always been an important position in the NFL and with many teams always needing them, it looks as if Williams is lined up for a starting job. We could see the next Aaron Donald right in front of us playing for some team that struggled this past season.

Josh Allen

I don't wanna claim that Josh Allen himself made Kentucky's defense scary, but he sorta kinda did. Allen is an insane leader, great tackler, and just an all around monster at football. Kentucky's never been known as a football school, but when I saw Kentucky in the top 15 this year I was shocked, but then I watched a couple games and saw Josh Allen out there ballin out. He has that Khalil Mack sorta feeling and I think he's going to be special in the NFL.

Nick Bosa

It is a well known fact that Nick Bosa is the most dominant player coming into the NFL Draft. When you watch him on the field, all he does is disrupt and make plays. His brother, Joey Bosa, who's on the Chargers now was an insanely talented prospect and NFL player was pretty damn good, but scouts think that Nick Bosa is better. It's going to be fun watching him in the league, and if there's one guarantee in the NFL, it's that Nick Bosa is a top-3 pick.

If you need a new series to watch, I recommend One Tree Hill. I watched this series three times now and it only keeps getting better. If you need any more reasons beside the fact that all of the seasons are on Netflix for your binge-watching pleasure, here are seven more reasons to watch it.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
