There are a number of under-the-radar prospects in the 2019 NFL Draft, but people are still sleeping on these five guys in particular.

The 2019 NFL Draft is just over three weeks away, which means if you’re still sleeping on a prospect, that alarm’s just about to go off.

So, here’s a list of prospects we here at NFL Mocks feel are being greatly overlooked.

Khalen Saunders, DT  Western Illinois

So the first thing you probably noticed was that he’s from a small school that not only have you most likely never watched, but you may have not have ever heard of.

Therefore, it is understandable if you are still unaware of this young man.

If you happen to have heard of Khalen Saunders though, it’s probably from the ridiculous footage of him doing a backflip at the 2019 Senior Bowl.

All flipping aside, Saunders did everything it takes to be a big-time prospect out of a small-time school.

  • 4-year Starter
  • 47 Career Starts (never missed a game)
  • 18.0 Career Sacks from the DT position
  • Test/Measure well: 6’0″ 324 pounds (5.01 40-yard dash/27 bench reps/30.5″ vertical/4.62 Shuttle)

Stay woke.
