Defying The Odds: Seventh Round Draft Picks Who Lit Up The NFL


 

Tomorrow’s NFL Draft gives all 32 teams hope of finding the next superstar, but that doesn’t always mean that they player selected will be taken within the first round, second round or, hell, even the third round.

As we’ve seen time and time again, every single draft is chalk full of sleepers who come out of nowhere to prove that they have some serious value, making teams dig deep while scouting some of these prospects.
