If you’re a “sleeper” in the NFL Draft, once scouts and appropriate media discover your talent, you’ll never look back.

In the case of East Carolina receiver, Zay Jones, he was a consistent and prolific machine of production in four years at college. A total of 399 receptions (an NCAA career record), 4,279 yards, and 23 touchdown receptions over the course of his career speaks to the volume of the truly reliable playmaker he was, no matter the context of competition. Jones really burst onto the scene last year - his senior season - transcending past all previous performances, with an explosive 158 receptions (an NCAA single-season record), 1,746 yards, and eight touchdowns.
