The NFL is a very different game than college football, and some players who find success easily in college aren’t seen as top NFL prospects. These 20 top college performers still have a shot to have their names called in the later rounds of this year’s draft.
1 of 20
Ian Book, QB, Notre Dame
Book started the last three years at Notre Dame, consistently winning in South Bend. Unfortunately, his lack of size and arm strength will likely push him to Day 3 of the draft, but Book has a chance to be a quality NFL backup.
2 of 20
Shane Buechele, QB, SMU
The former starter at Texas, Buechele eventually transferred to SMU and put up huge numbers in the lucrative Mustangs offense with 57 touchdown passes in two years. His lack of athleticism will likely push him to the third day of the draft.
3 of 20
Michael Carter, RB, North Carolina
Carter had back-to-back 1,000 yard rushing seasons at North Carolina, and also averaged 8.0 yards per carry in his senior year. He could be a nice change of pace back in the middle rounds of the draft.
4 of 20
Sam Ehlinger, QB, Texas
Ehlinger’s four seasons at Texas were somewhat of a disappointment, but he still threw 94 touchdowns. He has the athletic ability to fit in the NFL as a backup but probably not the accuracy to do more.
