Brady, Prescott, Kelce: Top 10 of the biggest steals in NFL Draft history

This year’s NFL Draft will be taking place in Las Vegas, a place where sometimes a gamble can pay off in a very big way.

Whilst a lot of focus will be drawn to the early rounds of the draft, there will always be some players who slip past the major names and fall to the later rounds.

But whilst they may have had a rough time getting into the NFL, often those players that slip down the pecking order can go on to have incredible NFL careers, much like the guys in our top ten steals of the draft. 

For this list we will only be looking at players who were taken in the third round or later and after the year 2000:

Drafted at 65 by the San Francisco 49ers in 2005

It seems only fitting that we start this list off with someone who has just recently retired from the game and who goes down as one of the most productive running backs in NFL history. Across his 16-year NFL career, he racked up a total of 16,000 yards, which ranks 3rd all-time amongst all NFL players. 

He was also named on the NFL’s All-Decade team of the 2010s and was elected to five Pro-Bowls, making him one of the best to ever play the position and certainly more than worth the third-round pick that the San Francisco 49ers used to acquire him.
