NFL Draft 2001: Sleepers
3/05/2001
The following players are players that we feel are under rated. That is, the general opinion about these players is that they will not be first round picks and maybe not even be drafted on the first day if even at all. We believe, however, that these players will have an impact in the NFL at some point in their career if not this year as a rookie.
| Mike McMahon, QB | ||||
| Rutgers | 6'2" | 255 lbs. | 4.7 | |
| Athletic QB with good size, speed, and a strong arm. Has some injury questions about his shoulder. He is a very confident person which some teams appear to be viewing as an attitude problem but I think you need to play with confidence as a QB. Definitely has potential to be a QB in the league but will need to be given a chance. Look for McMahon to be a backup for a few years but possibly could develop into a starting QB. | ||||
| Travis Henry, RB | ||||
| Tennessee | 5'11" | 225 lbs. | 4.5 | |
| Inside runner who seems to be discredited because he tends to be tackled low easily and does not have world class speed. Henry is a hard runner who was very productive at Tennessee averaging 5.6 yards per carry. Took over for Jamal Lewis when he was injured and excelled in his absence. Even after Lewis returned, Henry still remained the starter for the most part. With Lewis' success last year there is evidence that Henry should enjoy the same success next year. Lewis is a better reciever out of the backfield but Henry can work on that. Look for him to get some substantial playing time this year if drafted by a team without a #1 back. | ||||
| James Jackson, RB | ||||
| Miami | 5'10" | 210 lbs. | 4.5 | |
| Big play back who didn't get the amount of consistent carries to accurately judge his talent. Didn't perform at the All-Start games due to injury. Strong runner who doesn't shy away from contact and is an excellent receiver out of the backfield and a good blocker - all qualities that Edgerring James had although he is no Edgerrin James. Can be a return man and third down back. Look for Jackson to enter the league as a 3rd down back and return man but he'll eventually get a chance to play and he'll show he has feature back talent, similar to how Tiki Barber's career started. | ||||
| Alex Bannister, WR | ||||
| Eastern Kentucky | 6'5" | 205 lbs. | 4.4 | |
| Bannister has great size and speed. He is a raw talent with great physical tools but as Plaxico Burress showed last year, size alone will not make you a great WR in the NFL. Bannister will take a year or two to develop but if a team makes a solid investment in him he should have a breakout season in a year or two. To the fantasy footballers out there, keep your eye on him for the 2002 or 2003 season perhaps. | ||||
| Kenny Smith, DT | ||||
| Alabama | 6'3" | 288 lbs. | 4.9 | |
| Played well at the All-Star games. Versatile, can also play DE. Had some previous injuries. Comes from the same program as Cornelius Griffen of the Giants who had major success as a rookie last year. Smith is a playmaker. He is not oversized nor undersized for DL but trys to use his speed more often then strength. Isn't a force on every down but he could play a key role this year in a defensive line rotation especially if he is drafted later by a team with an already solid DL. | ||||
| Keith Adams (Jr.), LB | ||||
| Clemson | 5'11" | 220 lbs. | 4.5 | |
| Entering the draft a year early. Would have been a sure first rounder next year and maybe even the top LB selected. Adams is undersized for a LB, only 5'11", but he doesn't play that small. He is an active playmaker who is all over the field. I hear the same remarks about him that were said about Zack Thomas and look at him now. Adams is a player, what he doesn't have in size he makes up for in heart, talent, and instincts. He may not have a huge impact this season since he is coming out a bit early but he'll be a really good player in the NFL in a year or two. | ||||
