The 2013 NFL draft was terrible. The first overall pick was a middling tackle. Only four of the top 15 players selected have even made a Pro Bowl, and many of the highly heralded prospects from that draft class failed entirely in their NFL careers. Despite all of that, a Detroit Lions team that has historically had terrible luck drafting in the first round, landed an absolute star with the fifth overall pick.
Ezekiel Ansah was an interesting prospect out of BYU. The defensive end had not played the sport of football until 2010 and was brought from Ghana to Utah to play for the Cougars basketball team.
