LeVante Bellamy projects to be the biggest sleeper running back in this year’s draft.

As the bell cow back for Western Michigan in 2019, Bellamy earned the MAC Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year honors. He ran for 1,472 yards on 266 carries with 23 rushing touchdowns.

An undersized runner at 5-foot-9, 192-pounds, Bellamy has the change of pace speed to compete for a spot in an NFL backfield next season. He has good acceleration and vision, but his pass-catching abilities need to improve to be a dependable back. The one concern with Bellamy is he’s already 23 years old and is among the older draft prospects in this year’s class.
