Good article on true "sleepers"

The only one that I find silly is this one:

 

3. RB Derrick Wimbush, Fort Valley State - A small school runner who is well put together and he uses that body to bounce of would-be tacklers and this allows him to pick up yards after contact. Although not particularly elusive he is very tough and fights for every inch that is there. Although not fast by 40 standards, he plays fast and can take the ball the distance. While not blessed with great field vision, he is quick to the hole when he sees it. A great competitor who will be an asset on special teams while he adjusts to the step up in competition. Does not have great hands and can fumble but can be productive as a pure runner.

 

 

Too funny - might as well have said, "Makes up for wooden leg with gritty pirate-like roar." The rest are intriguing though...

This is one of the best places to find potential steals in the draft. They usually do a good job of updating the list, so you can actually monitor the players DURING the season instead of hearing about them afterward.

Or the (paraphrased) classic "he doesn't sweat much for a fat guy..."

 

"Does not have great hands and can fumble but can be productive as a pure runner."

 

Does this sound familiar? Pure runner? Like don't ask him to block???
