The term "sleeper" is somewhat hard to define. Technically you could still call Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie a sleeper because he went to such a small school, even though he is going to be a first round pick. Here is a look at what I call my "Super Sleeper Team". None of these guys were even invited to the Scouting Combine and, honestly, most of them will go undrafted but they are all prospects who I like and feel have the potential to be steals.

Quarterback: Nick Hill, Southern Illinois

Running Back: Tony Temple, Missouri

Fullback: Mike Cox, Georgia Tech

Wide Receiver: Lance Leggett, Miami (FL)

Wide Receiver: Edward Williams, Lane

Tight End: Mike Peterson, NW Missouri St.

Offensive Tackle: Shannon Boatman, Florida St.

Offensive Tackle: Chester Adams, Georgia

Offensive Guard: Kerry Brown, Appalachian St.

Offensive Guard: Mackenzy Bernadeau, Bentley

Center: Fernando Velasco, Georgia

Kicker: Steven Hauschka, North Carolina St.

Packers Forever!

Quarterback Alex Brink of Washington State could also be a "sleeper." Even though WSU is a Division I school, it is for all respects, a "small school."

If you recall the WSU-Wisconsin game early in the season, Brink gave the Badgers fits in the first part of the game before they began to blitz him and throw off his timing.

Behind a good offensive line, Brink might be able to be a third-string QB in the NFL.
