Players Studied for Matt Waldman’s 2020 Rookie Scouting Portfolio Publication


Matt Waldman’s running list of 2020 NFL Draft prospects who will appear in the April 1 RSP publication.

Each year, I like to list the players who will be in the Rookie Scouting Portfolio publication. If any of these players return to school, I will save them for the 2021 publication.

The opportunity to pre-order the 2020 RSP begins December 5.

Learn more about the RSP here.

So far, I have studied 174 prospects (Updated 3/3/20). Those returning to school who are listed below will be in the 2021 RSP. The usual range of players in the RSP publication spans 150-175. I estimate the final total (once I exclude returning upperclassmen studied in 2020) will be between 150-175 players.

So far, I have studied 155 players who will be in 2020’s pre-draft publication. Many of the quarterbacks with late-round or UDFA value not listed below will likely appear in the post-draft publication.

For the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), pre-order the 2020  Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95 available for download April 1.  

If you’re a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2019 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that’s included at no additional charge.  

Best, yet, 10 percent of every sale is set aside until the RSP has reached its annual goal of donating $5,000 Darkness to Light to combat sexual abuse.
