Sleepers!

Just doing some research on prospects, I've come across some sleepers and also knew some already. I figured I would spread the word and see if you guys know any super-sleepers.

My Super Sleepers:

Deji Karim - Southern Illinois - RB - 5'9'' 209lbs - Deji goes to a Southern Illinois, which is about 45 minutes away from where I live (SIU actually offered me a baseball grant haha). I've seen Deji play in person and he is explosive. He reminds me alot of Chester Taylor-ish. He's got great speed and acceleration and also has power to go along with it. Deji ran a 4.40 flat 40, 20Yrd Dash: 2.45 (almost Spilers time), 43" Vert (best of all prospects), and 19 BP Reps. He's also a great receiving RB, and proved that in the Texas vs. Nation game. Deji was also an Academic all-american for Missouri Valley. Deji rushed for 1,694 yards and 18TDs, with a 7.1 rushing average (also had 17 catches). He's projected: 7th Round - FA, he would be a steal with our last pick in the 7th; take Pearmans spot? Returner?

Michael Hoomanawanui - Illinois - TE - 6'4'' 270lbs - Hoomanawanui or Uh-Oh is a great player. His mothers office is next to my dad. I've met Michael before, every time I'm amazed by how nice and humble he is. He also played High School ball 10 minutes away from where I live. He put up 25 bench press (3rd best for TEs) and ran a 4.7 (at 270 isn't slow). He reminds me of Alge Crumpler from about 5 years ago. He was very underutilized at Illinois, only had 5 career TDs. But look at Benn, he also wasn't used alot. Hoomanawanui also had an ankle injury in 09 which affected his playing time. He was rated as the senior #6 TE at the start of 09. Also had a 33 inch vert. Uh-Oh (his nickname) is one of the best blocking TEs and is an underrated receiver. I still remember his one handed catch in highschool, it was amazing. He comes from a football family, his father played DT and Illinois St and had a short stand in the pros. Uh-Oh is a great player, has good grades, and it very humble. He's athletic for his size, in HS he Made 50 receptions for 843 yards and 12 touchdowns as a senior … Also, led team with 139 tackles and eight sacks on defense Projected: 5th-7th round. I would like him as a 6th round selection. He would be the #4 TE, and could play in goalline formations as a TE, he would replace Alges blocking skills.

James Ruffin - Northern Iowa - DE - 6'4'' 264lbs - Another small school DE for the Titans, probably. He ran a 4.7 40 and 27 Bench Press. James Ruffin posted 10.5 sacks in 2009. He's projected 7thround-FA, would be a solid pickup in the 7th round last pick.

Jevan Snead - Ole Miss - QB - 6'3 219 - Do you guys remember in the start of 09; Snead got a vote as an all-american for the SEC, which took away the honor from Tebow (needed all the votes). I remember multiple mock drafts having Snead projected as a 1st rounder, now he's projected 6th-7th. He would be a steal in the 7th round.

Freddie Barnes - Bowling Green - WR - 6'1 212 - Ran a slow 4.67 40, only 12 BP, and only a 30.5" vert. Rumored to run a 4.45-4.55, but has never proved it. Barnes was chosen as one of three finalists for the Fred Biletnikoff Award (best WR) and also was a possible Heisman finalist. He currently holds the record for most receptions in a year (155) for the NCAA. Also had 1,770 yards and 19 TDs. He's a solid talent, and is projected 6th-7th, a 7th wouldn't be bad on this guy.

LeRoy Vann- Florida A&M - WR/CB/KR - 5'9'' 178lbs- He's a return specialist. Only ran a 4.59, rumored to run a 4.43 according to the Panthers stop watch. 11 Total return TDs in 2 years. Avg 24.4 Kick Return Avg and 17.7 punt return avg. He's projected 5th-6th rounder. Would be a good pick in the 6th round for return purposes.

Does anyone know any other sleepers? Those are mine, all would be steals... The Titans are known for small school sleepers i.e. Cortland Finnegan, Jacob Ford, and William Hayes. It always seems like the Titans take some no name talent from a small school and make them into a player.

 

Well his name is pronounced: Ha-Oh-Man-Now-Ah-New-E

Then somehow he got the nickname "Uh-Oh", I guess the beginning sounds like Uh-Oh a little, totally worth a 6th!

 

Oh that amazing 1 handed grab:

I KNOW YOUR NAME NOW JCBRAVE!!! HAH

He's got a cool tat but I cant find any pics of it. It's like a tribal tattoo on his upper arm, makes him look like a bad-.

And the Saints T-Shirt isn't the New Orleans Saints. It's the Central Catholic Saints (his High School) which I'll be at today for a track meet haha.
