NFL Draft: 5 Sleepers Who Could Surprise Us All

2. Tyrann Mathieu

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KBPaoS6odk Here€™s maybe the most notorious in this entire draft not named Manti Te€™o. Tyrann Mathieu, the cornerback nicknamed €œThe Honey Badger€, was a Heisman finalist just two years ago, displaying an uncanny ability to rip the ball away from any offensive player, and an ability to cover players in the slot with ease. However, even with all the talent in the world, Mathieu has gotten himself in trouble time and time again. After multiple drug busts ruined Mathieu€™s career at LSU, the once heralded cornerback is ready to put that all behind him and take the NFL by storm. Recently, though, Mathieu has made good on his promise to get clean, passing multiple drug tests leading to the draft, and showing the world he€™s serious about becoming a great player. Before his string of arrests, Mathieu was a lock for the first round of the draft. Now, however, it€™s looking like he€™ll go anywhere between the second to fourth round. Everyone knows how talented this young man is. If he can keep his head on straight, and put all his troubles behind him, one team is going to get a huge steal.
