Some Interesting Sleepers

[DraftBoy]

TE Rodney Hannah 6'8 245lbs, Houston
Hannah could potentially become the next Antonio Gates. Aside from incredible size, he runs the 40 at 4.55 speed. He played basketball for Houston his freshman, sophmore, and junior year. So he lacks alot of experience, but has the potential to be a dominant TE's with the right coaching.
Projected: UDFA

QB Tyler Thigpen 6'3 225lbs, Coastal Carolina
Did not play football his senior year of HS, and Coastal Carolina only began their football program in 2003. Runs a 4.75 40, and does 18 reps on the bench press. Went from 705 yards, and 5 TDs in 03, to 1008 yards, and 8Td's, then 1589 11TD in 05, and finally he had 3296 29td's and 11ints.
Projected: UDFA

Two guys who have lots of potential, and may be good PS, NFLE pickups who in time could become good players.

Re: Some Interesting Sleepers

Hannah looks interesting.

I don't know anything about Thigpen or Coastal Carolina...What kind of offense did he run there?

Is he the next Antonio Gates or the next Adrian Autry? Just because he played basketball and has size doesnt necessarily mean hes gonna be Antonio Gates.

That said, he sounds intriguing and if hes an undrafted, why the hell not.

Cant tell you what the offensive philosphy up there is but Thigpen led the team in passing and running.

217-339 cmp-att
64% cmp pct

113att
780yd
5.8 ypc
5td

Looks like an option style offense, but the kid can throw it and has all-pro arm strength

Re: Some Interesting Sleepers

Wasn't there a Yancey Thigpen years ago? Any relation. There can't be too many Thigpens running around.

Im not sure, I thought Yancey Thigpen was black as opposed to Tyler who is white. I could be wrong. I dont really remember Yancey.

Re: Some Interesting Sleepers

Yancey played WR for the Steelers most of his career. That dude could flat out fly. His best season was 79 catches for 1398 yards, 7 TD's. And yes...he was black.
