Mel Kiper, Field Yates Reveal Sleeper Prospects for 2025 NFL Draft After Super Bowl

A handful of players stand out in this year's NFL draft class, but a number of players will likely go under the radar.

With the NFL season now in the books, teams are hoping to find the gems of the draft. ESPN's Mel Kiper and Field Yates identified a handful of those sleeper picks in this year's class.

Kiper and Yates named Iowa tight Luke Lachey, Kansas running back Devin Neal, Oregon defensive back Jamaree Caldwell, Maryland defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, Marshall safety J.J. Roberts and Central Arkansas edge David Walker.
