*****
1. QB Trey Lance, North Dakota State
Lance had an awkward sidearm release back in the day, but he developed into an elite quarterback at the FCS level.
*****
2. LB Zaven Collins, Tulsa
Collins was a massive athlete who was a tweener in high school and developed well as a linebacker at Tulsa.
*****
3. DE Payton Turner, Houston
A raw edge, Turner didn’t garner a ton of attention in high school and as a Group of Five recruit it allowed him to gain experience and develop.
*****
4. RB Javonte Williams, North Carolina
Williams was projected as a safety because he was so physical, but he wasn’t great in coverage. He switched his focus to running back in college.
*****
5. DB Richie Grant, UCF
Grant was overlooked despite solid size and his length, but later on he became known as a big hitter.
*****
6. OT Dillon Radunz, North Dakota State
Another FCS star, Radunz got noticed while working to protect Lance.
*****
7. WR D’Wayne Eskridge, Western Michigan
A MAC-level recruit, Eskridge took his game to the next level in college.
*****
8. QB Kyle Trask, Florida
Trask, as we all know, was a backup to D’Eriq King in high school, so there was no way to rank him higher.
*****
9. OT Brady Christensen, BYU
Christensen went from a regional recruit to an NFL prospect at BYU.
*****
10. DL Milton Williams, Louisiana Tech
Williams was not heavily recruited but he always had size and power.
