Todd McShay califica a Cole Payton como el prospecto más subestimado del draft de la NFL de 2026

El analista del draft de la NFL, Todd McShay, describió al quarterback de North Dakota State, Cole Payton, como el jugador más subestimado del Draft de la NFL de 2026. En el programa The Rich Eisen Show, McShay predijo que Payton sería una selección de la segunda jornada capaz de sorprender a los observadores. Los Pittsburgh Steelers lo han seguido de cerca, asistiendo a su Pro Day y recibiéndolo en una visita previa al draft.

Los directivos de los Pittsburgh Steelers han invertido tiempo evaluando a Cole Payton de cara al Draft de la NFL de 2026. El equipo observó su desempeño en el Pro Day y lo invitó a una visita previa al draft, lo que indica un posible interés en la posición de quarterback. Payton, conocido por su capacidad atlética y potencia de brazo, genera dudas entre los ojeadores respecto a su precisión y mecánica. Un informe interno de scouting lo calificó como un prospecto de la tercera jornada, comparándolo con Tim Tebow por su habilidad para correr más que por su destreza en el pase. Aun así, McShay destacó el potencial de Payton, situándolo en un nivel similar al de quarterbacks como Drew Allar de Penn State y Garrett Nussmeier de LSU. McShay distinguió a Ty Simpson de Alabama como un candidato de mayor nivel para la primera ronda. Los mock drafts han vinculado frecuentemente a Payton con los Steelers, generalmente en las rondas finales. No está claro si Pittsburgh lo considera una opción de la segunda jornada, dada la existencia de otras necesidades en el equipo.
