The biggest and best steals of the 2020 NFL draft class

Every draft class has a group of unheralded and underdrafted players who become NFL stars. Here’s this year’s group of sleeper candidates.

Arizona Cardinals: RB Eno Benjamin

(Chuck Cook-USA TODAY Sports)

I gave the Cardinals an A+ for their draft because it looked great and filled needs from top to bottom. But beyond Isaiah Simmons, Josh Jones (more about him later) and mid-round defensive tackles Leki Fotu and Rashard Lawrence (not to mention stealing DeAndre Hopkins from the Texans for their second-round pick), is the seventh-round selection of Arizona State running back Eno Benjamin. In Kliff Kingsbury’s offense, anyone who can create explosive plays will be given the opportunity, and Benjamin can certainly do that. Last season, he forced 62 missed tackles and had 11 carries of 15 yards or more on 235 attempts. He’s not an every-down back, but if you get the ball in his hands in space, Benjamin can absolutely add the specter of the big play to an offense that’s loading up for more of those.
