Thankfully, NFL free agency unofficially kicks off today with the legal tampering period staring at noon ET, as sports fans will have something to chew on with virtually all other sports activity out of commission at the moment. Ahead of the start of the new league year on Wednesday, these are my 2020 NFL free agency positional rankings for offense and defense. Offense has some star players along with perhaps the greatest free-agent quarterback class in history headlined by the greatest of all-time in Tom Brady, but the defensive side of the ball looks clearly deeper this year—defensive line in particular is extremely deep and could have been ordered much differently. [Ages listed are for the start of the 2020 season.]
