I agree with the earlier comment that a "sleeper" is someone you didn't expect anything from, but then turns out to be a player.

I sure hope someone like Zach Line falls into that category. Seemingly an unknown coming out of H.S. but from what I've read, the guy has D-1 size and speed. Sure would be nice to find a RB who could help keep defenses off balance. I assume he will get a look primarily at RB but we could also use a "sleeper" at LB...and on the DL.

my sleeper pick is the Estonian DE who was the former shot put thrower for our track and field team...he has been physically intimidating the OL from what Ive been told.

Several teammates said they were very impressed with Parker in the spring before he got hurt (hamstring or something).

Hope Parker is the real deal - we need some LBs with real speed.

Not very, from what I've heard. They held him out to be cautious with it.

That's what I like to hear. What do you base that on? Have you seen him play?
