2019 NFL Draft: Top 10 late round sleeper picks, ranked

You don’t have to be a bluechip prospect to make an NFL impact. Here are 10 under the radar college football stars who could surprise in the NFL Draft.

Each season there are notable names in college football that simply aren’t projected to be selected in the early rounds despite playing for a blueblood or upper echelon program. Luckily for them, there are seven rounds in the NFL Draft and there are still opportunities for those who go undrafted to be acquired by a team through an undrafted free agent signing.

Of course, in this situation, it the level of difficulty in making an NFL roster increases significantly, but nonetheless, it is still a testament to the skills they exhibited while playing college football.

Historically, there are a host of NFL players who got taken in the later rounds and blossomed into stars. The most prominent example would be Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who was drafted in the sixth round as the 199th pick of the 2000 NFL Draft.

After winning Super Bowl LIII, Brady now owns six Super Bowl titles. Other famous names that land on this list are former Heisman Trophy winner Roger Staubach, Deacon Jones and Johnny Unitas.

While it may be more of a longshot for these players to chase after their dreams of playing professional football, there is still hope on the horizon for them. Here are 10 players who could find themselves on an NFL roster by being selected in the later rounds as sleeper picks.
