Every year, Football Outsiders puts together a list of the NFL's best and brightest young players… who have barely played. About 80% of draft-day discussions are about first-round picks, and 10% are about the players who should have been first-round picks but instead went in the second round.
Particularly if they were quarterbacks. This list is about that last 10%. It's a stab in the dark at players who might just come out of the woodwork and surprise you this year.
This is a list of players who have a real chance to make an impact in the NFL despite their lack of draft stock and the fact that they weren't immediate NFL starters.
Previous editions of the list have hyped George Kittle, Cooper Kupp, Mark Andrews and J.C. Jackson before they blew up. Last year's list led off with Damien Harris, who scored 15 touchdowns during the 2021 season.
