NFL Draft: 5 Sleepers That Could Become Stars
Advertisement
The sleeper pick is what makes NFL fans love their draft. Russell Wilson, Tom Brady, Alfred Morris, and so on. These guys are just a sampling of what teams have found in the scrap heap. Most of the time, sleepers are the key players on championship teams. The expectations for a top tier prospect that is taken in rounds one or two are much higher than a sixth or seventh round pick. It's a surprise when a seventh rounder becomes a star. The players on this list offer a host of different scenarios; injury shortened careers, off-field issues, and lack of experience are just a taste. But these are the players that we will look back on and say, "Why did they fall so far?" Everyone would draft Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson now. One of these players will win Rookie of the Year or MVP, they'll play a pivotal role in a Super Bowl or make the Hall of Fame. Will your team draft one? Will they stun the world? That is what makes the draft so much stinking fun!
