NC State football is looking to have more success in the 2021 NFL Draft and it has a few guys who could make a splash at the next level.

For just the second time under Dave Doeren, NC State missed the postseason in 2019 after going 4-8. It was a forgettable year, but that’s what happens when you have quarterback issues.

A year after losing Ryan Finley to the Bengals, NC State looked like one of the worst teams in the ACC as the offense struggled mightily. Now that Finley is in the league and looking to make a name for himself on the same roster as No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow, the Wolfpack will continue to search for that quarterback to fix the offense.

Sophomore Devin Leary has already been declared the starter, but seeing as he completed less than 50 percent of his passes as a freshman, he still has a lot to prove.

It’s safe to say NC State won’t be sending a quarterback to the 2021 NFL Draft, but that doesn’t mean the Wolfpack don’t have any prospects.

NC State went from having seven players selected in the 2018 NFL Draft to four in 2019 and then just two in 2020 and it’s looking to get that number back up.

Who stands out as NC State’s top NFL draft prospects for the 2020 season?
