Perhaps one of the biggest draft sleepers, Jacob Harris has significant size and speed. At 6’5” with a monstrous wingspan he has the tools to become a great receiver in the league.
Derrick Barnes kept teams guessing during a college career where he played multiple roles at Purdue. That same versatility will make Barnes a valuable Day 3 pick in the 2021 NFL draft. His ability to play both inside and outside linebacker and rush off the edge will surely earn him some interest. The team that takes a chance will get a flexible playmaker who knows how to wreck both phases of an offense.
The 2021 NFL Draft class lacks the star power the previous class had. However, one name not getting enough attention is Virginia Tech’s Khalil Herbert.

The NFL is big on players that have versatility. The safety class has a lot of players that are in this mold. One player not getting enough attention in this class is San Diego State’s Tariq Thompson. He was a four-year starter at his time at San Diego State and specialized in the Warrior position that SDSU employs. Thompson is a very versatile prospect that excels in his IQ and continuous turnover production.
Alex Leatherwood is an extremely experienced offensive lineman who has been at the forefront of some controversy this draft cycle. The debate on him is whether or not he should be making a switch from guard to tackle once in the NFL.
Darius Stills has a natural flair as an inside pass-rusher that will appeal to teams on Day 3 of the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Pittsburgh defense is sending a lot of talent to the NFL this year. They had one of the best safety tandems in the league with Damar Hamlin and Paris Ford. Hamlin played in many different spots during his time there and projects to do the same in the NFL as well.
Caden Sterns has been on draft radars since his freshman season. Sterns shows some very good traits, but in a stacked safety class, is he good enough to be selected ahead of some other star players? Let’s find out.
John Bates has the potential to make it as a classic ‘Y’ tight end or H-Back at the next level, provided teams aren’t fooled by his lack of production at Boise State. He’s got late-round steal potential for an NFL franchise ready to coach up a prospect.
The first thought that comes to mind with a USC Safety is the legendary Troy Polamalu. Coincidentally, the Steelers legend has taken the reigning Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year Talanoa Hufanga under his wing.
The son of a former Pro Bowl cornerback, Patrick Surtain II is walking in his father’s footsteps as a shutdown corner. He stepped in from day one as a freshman and immediately impacted the Crimson Tide defense. Surtain is the surest thing on the defensive side of the ball going into the NFL Draft. He is very pro-ready and he looks to make a seamless transition.
