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: OT Josh Jones

The Cardinals had an A+ draft from start to finish — they took Clemson defender Isaiah Simmons with the eighth overall pick, traded their second-round pick for DeAndre Hopkins (we are obligated to run this picture of Texans shot-caller Bill O’Brien whenever we mention this trade…)

…and in the third round, with the 72nd overall pick, they were somehow able to pluck Josh Jones out of thin air. Jones may need a little work on his functional strength, but one could also argue that he is the best pass protector in the 2020 draft class. Per Pro Football Focus, Jones allowed just 18 total pressures on 1,282 pass blocking snaps through three seasons with the Cougars. Kyler Murray now has a full quiver of weapons, and his pass pro has improved exponentially.
