The NFL draft is less than a month away and fans are eagerly waiting to see who their teams will pick. Fans are usually more focused on the first round of the NFL draft since that’s where teams are most likely to find an elite player. However, every year there are players selected beyond the first couple of rounds that end up surprising everyone. In last years draft there was Tyreek Hill (5th rd), Jordan Howard (5th rd), Dak Prescott (4th rd) and many other rookies that were drafted beyond the first two rounds that ended up being great in 2016. For this article, in no particular order, I’m going to list some players that are projected to be picked beyond the first two rounds that could potentially be huge sleepers in 2017.
