Bottom Line on Sedrick Van Pran

Center is a position that never truly gets talked about during draft season. The players at that position also rarely see themselves get drafted high. For every Garrett Bradbury and Frank Ragnow, there is a Creed Humphrey. Humphrey was a fantastic prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft but saw himself fall all the way to the 63rd overall pick. Humphrey became a day-one starter for the Kansas City Chiefs and never looked back. If teams knew how good Humphrey would be, no way he would have fallen that far in the NFL draft. 

Sedrick Van Pran has been the model of consistency for the Georgia Bulldogs. He started 44 consecutive games to finish his college career and won two national championships in Athens. Van Pran has put together some quality tape during his career and found himself firmly in the conversation to be a day-two pick. Van Pran is an athletic blocker who has shown the ability to get out in space and spring big plays for his offense. He will be competing the hardest with Oregon’s Jackson Powers-Johnson to be the number one center in the 2024 NFL Draft. Both are projected second-round picks as of today.
