Time for the 20th Anniversary-edition annual list of undervalued draft sleepers and smaller school prospects who deserve more attention in the NFL draft.
For 20 years now, I have made the analysis of lesser-known, small school, and undervalued NFL draft prospects my obsession. Over the years, I’ve tweeted about, written about, mock-drafted, interviewed, argued about, and generally died on the hilltop for “my” guys. Over the years, I’ve missed on a few I liked (Hello, Buckshot Calvert!) and missed on some I should have included but didn’t (hello, Darius Leonard!)
However, I did hit on a few very unexpected home runs, too. Like when I watched 15 minutes of Texas Tech film and shouted “Patrick Mahomes is what a future Hall Of Fame QB looks like.” Or when I spent a year trying to explain to people that Tank Dell might be the best receiver in the draft. My work here is done… almost.
Here are a few past B2Bers, more or less the B2B Hall Of Fame:
Patrick Mahomes, Jared Veldheer, Richard Sherman, Carlos Dunlap, Emmanuel Sanders, Jimmy Graham, Josh Norman, Jordan Cameron, Tarik Cohen, Kevin Byard, Kenny Golladay, Julius Thomas, Buster Skrine, Doug Martin, Bruce Irvin, Robert Turbin, J.R.Sweezy, Jamie Collins, Brandon Williams, Jarvis Landry, Javon Hargrave, George Fant, Jessie Bates, Steven Nelson, Teair Tart, Ali Marpet, MyCole Pruitt, Roy-Robertson-Harris, David Onyemata, Grover Stewart, Albany State Robert Tonyan, Nik Needham, James Robinson, Donald Parham, Elijah Mitchell, Kenneth Gainwell, Larry Borom, Cole Strange, Marte Mapu, Tank Dell, … and more each year.
In general, I tend to favor what a player shows they can do that has outlier potential– what is the best this player can be– paired with the football personality and working style to bring that to fruition. Give me a guy with heart, football smarts, and athletic ability and shame on you if you can’t figure out how to make him a player.
This list isn’t intended to be comprehensive. I’m sure there will be a sleeper or two who make it in the NFL who isn’t on this list… but it’s not because I didn’t try to find him.

Without further ado, the best of the B2Best:
B2B Directional Player of the Year: CB Qwan’tez Stiggers, Toronto Argonauts
It’s not often a player with no experience playing college football even makes to an NFL roster, let alone is drafted. Michael Lewis and Antonio Gates were basketball players who ended up being quality NFL players. Eric Swann was a top recruit who was academically ineligible and so joined a semipro team, playing for $5/hr before getting drafted with the 6th overall pick in 1991!
But Stiggers’s story is more wayward than that. Physically a late bloomer, he was lightly recruited and accepted an offer at Lane College. But before he could even practice, the COVID pandemic shut down Lane’s season and then his family was hit by the worst kind of misfortune, when his father was in a car accident and eventually died. Qwan’tez was deeply affected by the loss and decided to drop out of Lane and go back to Atlanta.
After some time spent driving for a food-delivery app and working out as if he was still playing, his family finally convinced him not to give up on his dream. His mom found out about the Fan-Controlled Football league, mostly famous for airing its games on twitch, allowing its audience to call plays, and for signing the hot mess Johnny Manziel to be the face of the league.
Stiggers was enough of a standout there–even while being the youngest player in the league–that the GM of the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts convinced him to come to Canada and tryout for the team. The young man from Atlanta went to a foreign land, went through camp convinced he was going to be cut and headed back home in a couple of weeks. On cutdown day, he went angrily to the coach’s office, asked why no one had even let him know that he was cut and… that’s how he found out that he made the team. Inserted into the lineup in week one, he never came out. He led the league in INTs and was named the league’s Rookie of the Year.
That got him noticed by NFL draft scouts, who got him an opportunity to come to the Shrine Game, where he was a standout all week and found the smaller NFL-sized field a lot easier to navigate as a DB. After a great week of practice, he nearly intercepted the first pass of the game and had another big hit on Special Teams.
Since then, A LOT of NFL teams have been paying attention, with most of the league attending his private pro day, held at his former high school (what a nice gesture and thrill for the kids there). Of course, like everything else, he killed his pro day and is a likely borderline top 100 pick to be.
As a player, he anticipates better than most NFL DB prospects, which makes his play in off-man or zone coverage very advanced compared to a lot of CB prospects, many of whom have only ever played Man to Man coverage because of their athletic advantage. He’s got plus ball skills, tackles well, and has already proven himself as a professional. He’s going to go to some lucky team and contribute right away.
Off-the Map Power 5 Defensive POY: EDGE Jonah Elliss, Utah
Thanksgiving at the Elliss household must be fun. His dad Luther was a stud DL for the Detroit Lions, he has three brothers currently in the NFL: Kaden (ATL) Christian (NE), and 367 lb Noah (PHI). There are more hyped EDGE rushers in this year’s draft, but none are more polished nor athletic and none out-tested him athletically–– for a position where workout metrics often predict success. Oh, and that spin move!
Off-the Map Power 5 Offensive POY: QB Jason Bean, Kansas
If there was an award for star-crossed career trajectories, Bean would win it easily. He started his career at North Texas State, where he sat behind Mason Fine and then former Yankees’ prospect Austin Aune, and finally decided it was time to move on to Kansas… where he promptly was stuck behind a very good Jalon Daniels. Whenever the oft-injured Daniels missed time, Bean stepped in a played very well, showing off an arm strong enough to throw low-trajectory deep balls into a 30-mph wind in Texas and using his speed to make plays with his legs. But every time Daniels got healthy enough, Bean went back to the bench.
When Daniels went down for the season in 2023, Bean finally had the job. When I say he may have led the greatest Kansas season ever, bear in mind that this is a program that is just as star-crossed as Bean’s career. Before Bean ran and threw his way to a clutch victory vs Oklahoma last season, the Jayhawks hadn’t beaten OU in over 25 years!
Bean was finally starting to get some attention, and although not enough attention to get a Senior Bowl invite, he was invited to and played well enough at the Hula Bowl to get a Shrine Bowl invite. Finally, his time to shine… and then he got a bad flu that kept him in bed and he missed out.
I mentioned his impressive arm strength and knack for big plays, but his speed–both in-game and on the track–is at a level that few can reach on the field. During a TD run in the aforementioned Oklahoma win, Bean was tracked at 22.4 mph… faster than Tyreek Hill! Faster than anyone in the NFL since 2020.
22.4 MPH 🤯
https://twitter.com/RAanalytics/status/1719456542171292027
It should have been no surprise since Bean was legit track fast––he ran a 10.36 100m in high school.
Hopefully, the stars align and Bean gets an NFL shot.
Underappreciated Non-Power 5 FBS DPOY: EDGE Jalen Green, James Madison
Jalen Green might be the most overlooked prospect in the entire draft class, relative to talent. He was the best player on one of the best defenses in college football and would have been all over the conversation for draft riser if he’d not been injured last fall, in the midst of a season so dominant it almost defies belief. At the time of his leg injury, he had accumulated a CFB-leading 21 TFLs and 15.5 sacks in only 9 games, along with 2 forced fumbles, a pass batdown, and a pick 6 for good measure.
Underappreciated Non-Power 5 FBS OPOY: WR Sam Pinckney, Coastal Carolina
Pinckney spent 6 years in CFB, and is about as consistent a performer as you can get, winning with a variety of acrobatic contested catches, deep ball separation, and catch and run opportunity. He set an NCAA record with a catch in 57 consecutive games played. A hamstring injury hampered his pro day 40, but this is a man who can play and whose physique and skills are suited for the pro game.
FCS Defensive Player Of The Year: Khristian Boyd, Northern Iowa
Boyd isn’t everything you want in terms of length or pedigree, but he IS everything you could want in terms of a DL disruptor who made a ton of plays during his time in Cedar Falls. He then stood out in a strong year at the Shrine game, moving more quickly and explosively than you’d think a 320 lb man could.
FCS Offensive Player of the Year: Isaiah Davis, SDSU
Isaiah was once the young freshman behind a future NFL back in Pierre Strong, but after explosive plays in SDSU’s championship runs, he slowly became part of a 2-back system, and then the starter before Pierre even left to go to the Patriots. Davis is on the bigger side for a back but like Derrick Henry, he can be hard to bring down once he hits the hole and has enough speed to get chunks downfield. At the Senior Bowl, he showed more hands and route running than expected… there’s upside still to be had, despite all that he accomplished in college.
D2 Defensive Players Of The Year: Deshawn McCarthy, East Stroudsburg – Shon Stephens, Ferris State
McCarthy reminds of another small school former B2BDS gem, Matthew Judon. Watching guys like that playing at lower levels of college football is like watching a hot knife through butter. But despite their dominance, both had a big motor and never stopped trying to take the soul out of offenses. McCarthy is all raw energy, “see ball/kill ball”, but give me 11 guys like that on defense.
The nephew of Steelers legend Joey Porter and cousin to Steelers CB Joey Jr., Stephens dealt with 3 lost seasons due to family issues plus the NCAA denial of transfers to Penn State and Purdue, then survived a year playing in the hinterlands of West Virginia and a final year of eligibility at D2 Powerhouse Ferris State, where he became All-American. Along the way, he accumulated 16 interceptions, 10 pass breakups, and 4.5 TFL in just 22 college games.
D2 Offensive Player Of The Year: John Matocha, Colorado School of Mines
I’m just going to keep posting this until he actually matriculates from college. He’s been listed in the top prospects from D2 for three years. I think he’s finally out of school… but he would be the prospect voted most likely to become the Terminator, so…
It’s really a shame there isn’t a league of regular-sized people for guys like this to play in. Total gamer, nice touch, elusive in the pocket… he’s just undersized and under-armed for the NFL level. Harlon Hill winner who completely outclassed Tyson Bagent and his team in the semifinal. If he had even an average NFL arm, he’d be a prospect just because he’s a great football player. Going to rule pickup football games for the next 30 years.
D3/NAIA OPOY: WR Cole Burgess, Courtland
Burgess’s size and explosive quickness helped lead his Courtland team to the Division III National Championship game where his 11 catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns helped them upset previously unbeaten powerhouse North Central.
D3/NAIA DPOY: IDL Devin Adams, Peru State
Oh, ho hum, just another NFL-caliber athlete destroying hapless NAIA players over and over:
The Inaugural: “Seems Like There Are a Lot of Great Canadian Players” Award: OT Giovanni Manu, British Columbia
With apologies to Theo Johnson, Tanner McLaughlan, Anim Dankwah, Theo Benedet, Isaiah Adams, Kyle Hergel, and Ajou Ajou… we went with the biggest Canadian of them all this year, the 6073, 352 lb former All-BC basketball stud, who gave up basketball for a career pancaking, stoning, and otherwise humiliating defenders. Maybe he’ll end up being an oversized guard for the Ravens, but on tape he looks like a nimble bear who can man the left tackle position.
The “If This Were 1975, I’d be a 1st Rd Pick” or “Borderline Too Violent For This Sport” Award: S Vincent “Smoke” Davis, South Florida
Chapeau to Smoke Davis, who left it all on the field, playing the game with an aggressive controlled violence that ultimately cost him his playing career. He suffered a neck/shoulder injury that he couldn’t recover from and is now coaching, but this highlight reel is a tribute to the career he did have. At least he went out with a bang:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrFFE4KavTI
OT Michael Jerrell, Findlay
LB Lee Kpogba, West Virginia
Some guys just like to hit other guys. Some of those hitters like to hit guys REALLY hard.
The B2B Honorary Karl Joseph People Had Me As A Third Rounder But I’m Going In The top 50 Award: CB Renardo Green, Florida State
Renardo Green isn’t the biggest CB in the class but he is so aggressive as a tackler and hitter that he could succeed on that alone. But it’s his cover skills on top of that that elevate him to special player. Yes, there are a ton of CBs in the class, but his physicality at CB is something special.
B2B Unwanted to NFL Award: EDGE Bo Richter, Air Force
A 0-star recruit. Zero scholarship offers until he qualified for the Air Force Academy. Played sparingly until he finally got his chance in 2023, and he promptly exploded for 19.5 TFL, 10 sacks, and 3 FF.
New for 2022: Honorary McKenzie-Griffin-McCourty-Hollister-Pouncey Seeing Double Award: Jadon & Jaxon Janke, SDSU & Grayson & Gabriel Murphy, UCLA
All four twins are really good players. And both suffered from scouts trying to determine which twin was better. This just in: all 4 guys are pretty good football players.
Meatloaf “I Would Do Anything For Love (but I Can’t Do That)” Award: QB Frank Harris, UTSA (retired)
After three previous surgeries on the same knee, Frank Harris had a lingering issue with scar tissue in 2022, played through it most of the season, then scheduled a routine arthroscopic procedure in early 2023 to relieve his pain. That surgery had some problems, though, and he needed another surgery. Then another. Then a third to put a screw where his ACL used to be. Then a staph infection that nearly cost him his leg and left him unable to walk. Finally, after he already told the team he was medically retiring, a surgeon talked him into a fourth surgery that finally fixed the issue and allowed him to rehab in time for the 2023 season. He’s a really good player who played well in his 6th season, leading the Roadrunners to an appearance in the Frisco Bowl… but decided that was enough and who could blame him? Here’s to your life’s work, Frank!
B2B For The Love Of The Game Award: WR David White, Western Carolina
Every prospect is, to a degree, a really hard worker who’s overcome things in his lfe to get to this point. But few have the work ethic, drive, and emotionally-grinding backstory that David White has endured.
White wasn’t a big-time recruit, and started in D2. After success at Valdosta State, despite COVID wiping out their 2020 season, when his coaches moved to take the reins at Western Carolina, he wanted to follow them––except he needed to take two courses while playing without a scholarship in order to qualify. He stayed with his father until the bitter end, keeping his fragile family afloat until his father passed.
After more than 3 years of stepping on a field and being completely removed from football, he finally got those two courses done, joined his coaches and balled out for two seasons at Western Carolina. During his all-star weeks at the Hula Bowl and then a promotion to the Shrine Bowl, he dominated bigger school players and took time to express outrage that some teammates were not as willing to workout hard or practice hard.
““Why get this close and then act like you just made it?” says White, via Zoom. “Why get this close and give 60 percent?” -_ David White
He may not make it as far, but his interest in working harder than anyone else is the kind of characteristic that sees you on the Juggs machine for hours after practice, inspires you to work at blocking and the little things that make you valuable on every play– I think he’s destined to be a great leader an a success somewhere… why not in the NFL?
B2B For The Love Of The Game Award Part 2 (NCAA Edition): Dante Miller, RB, Columbia/South Carolina… sort of
Dante Miller got screwed by the COVID and NCAA. Whereas lots of players got an extra year because of the pandemic, the NCAA’s antiquated rules cost Miller his chance at an extra season and even a chance at last year’s draft. He was the star RB of the Ivy League but, because they don’t allow redshirt years, they also decided that the canceled season in 2020 would count towards the Ivy League’s “4 seasons in 4 years” policy. So, if Miller wanted to play a 4th or 5th season, he’d have to transfer. I could recount this whole ridiculous story, but I’ll quote Pro Football Rumors:
So, Miller transferred to South Carolina… It was reportedly communicated to the Gamecocks that Miller would have two seasons of eligibility at South Carolina: his unused redshirt year and the extra year of eligibility allotted to college players because of COVID.
With budding rusher Marshawn Lloyd entering the year as the starter, Miller was happy to fill in as a depth and special teams player, thinking he would be able to earn a bigger role in 2023. Unfortunately, six games into the 2022 season, South Carolina’s officials realized they had made a mistake. Miller was only granted his redshirt year, meaning he didn’t have three years to play two seasons, he only had two years to play one.
In college football, you can only play in four games if you intend to redshirt a year. The school tried to appeal, pointing out that Miller had only played three snaps in his fifth game and two snaps in his sixth. Miller chose to sit out the remainder of the season, counting on the university’s appeal to come through. A lengthy review process ruled that five snaps were too many, leading to NCAA to refuse Miller another year of eligibility, despite the deadline to enter the NFL draft having long passed at the time of their decision.
Instead of pouting or giving up, Miller asked to and was allowed to practice all season with the Gamecocks. He put his energy into getting better and preparing for his pro day in anticipation of the 2024 NFL draft. At his pro day, all those NFL GMs there to see Xavier Legette and crew saw this RB run a 4.27-second 40-yard dash that was the best by any RB in the class ran this year. There was suddenly lots of draft buzz for Miller and teams were all trying to talk with him.
But that’s when it got weird.
One of the scouts started talking with the South Carolina staff about the situation and questioned if Miller was even eligible for this year’s draft. Turns out… he wasn’t! After all that biding his time and practicing with a team for which he couldn’t play… Miller was actually a free agent, free to sign with any team. His agent started scheduling tryout meetings and the first one he went to… in the city where he’d earned his degree and had his greatest football success, the Giants signed him to a deal as soon as he got in the building.
For the Love of the Game Part 3: WR David White, Western Carolina
Every prospect is, to a degree, a really hard worker who’s overcome things in his lfe to get to this point. But few have the work ethic, drive, and emotionally-grinding backstory that David White has endured.
White wasn’t a big recruit, and started in JuCo. After two successful season there, he
The Jim Thorpe “The More You Can Do” Award: FB/RB/ TE/WR/QB Colson Yankoff
Dante Miller might have gotten jobbed by the NCAA but nobody got their life ruined and dreams dashed by the game of football like Colson Yankoff. Yankoff was perhaps the greatest college prospect EVER in Idaho, a coach’s son with a 4.3 GPA who became a 4-star QB recruit with size, a great arm, running ability, and above all– the ‘it” that made him look like a QB with promise. In his junior season, in 10 games he threw for 27 TDs & ran for 26 more while leading his undefeated team to the state 4A championship and being named the State POY.
He was recruited to Oregon but decommitted when Oregon’s coach was fired. He then chose Washington based on the “absolute integrity” of their coaching staff, but the OC who recruited him left to become the head coach at rival Oregon State, the OC during his redshirt season was fired. The new OC was all about Jacob Eason, so Yankoff transferred to accept Chip Kelly’s offer to come be the QB at UCLA, since Kelly was the mentor of the coach who had first recruited him.
But, Washington Head Coach Chris Petersen refused to let Yankoff off the hook, forcing him to sit out a year with the transfer. During that waiting year, Kelly found himself a QB in Dorian Thompson Robinson, and Yankoff again was behind the 8-ball for playing time and even practice snaps. He could have pursued the transfer portal but, after wasting so much time not playing and waiting for opportunity, he went to coaches and asked if he could position switch. He ended up playing a lot of Special teams and Fullback but never did attempt even one pass in college football. He said all the right things at pro day about being willing to catch on at any position, but I wonder if he won’t show up in some minor league playing QB once more. Watch this high school tape and tell me that’s a guy who will somehow never play QB in college!
New for 2024:
The Austin Aune “That’s what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.” Award: QB Kasim Hill, Rhode Island
Kasim Hill played for Maryland in 2017! After two years there, he transferred to Rhode Island and ended up playing FIVE MORE SEASONS! And he was really good… turned around a previously lackluster program and was the toast of the football town.
