SLEEPER
UCLA LB Jordan Zumwalt
His personality can bea bit over the topfor some teams, but Zumwalt is a high-energy, versatile linebacker capable of backing up any of the 4-3 positions (as well as perhaps playing inside in a 3-4) and being an impact special-teamer. He has played some of his best games on the biggest stages — he was co-MVP of the Sun Bowl, when he took outLogan Thomas— and plays with an edge to him. Some team will be wise to nab him somewhere in the third-to-fifth-round range.

Alabama LB Adrian Hubbard
With incredible physical tools, a massive frame and very good strength, Hubbard is the kind of height-weight-speed prospect that will enamor some defensive coaches. Until they turn on the tape and try to figure out exactly what he is and what he can be. Hubbard underachieved at Bama, a place where players with far less physical skill have flourished. In fact, most Bama defenders come into the NFL overrated for being maxed out as players, coached up to the hilt by Nick Saban and Kirby Smart, but with Hubbard, it's merely a projection because of Hubbard's raw skill at this point. The light might never go on (one team said he appeared disinterested in their interview with him) unless he starts to harness his ability more and a team figures out what role is best for him.
