Tafua recorded 9.5 sacks and 14 tackles for a loss during his last year at Utah, earning him a first-team All-Pac-12 selection. His improvements each year demonstrate that he has plenty of upside as he fully develops his game for the NFL.
#2 - Kennedy Brooks
Kennedy Brooks was likely passed over during the 2022 NFL Draft due to his lack of speed and explosiveness, but he was a highly productive running back with the Oklahoma Sooners. He has eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards in all three seasons of his college football career.
Brooks was reliable and consistent, carrying the ball more than 100 times each season, while also winning several awards for his production. He was selected to the Freshman All-American and All-Big-12 teams during his career while also winning the Alamo Bowl MVP award in his final game.
#1 - Christopher Allen
Christopher Allen was once considered one of the top linebackers in the entire country before several injuries prevented him from showcasing his talents. While he didn't get a ton of opportunities for playing time while at Alabama, he flashed his potential when he got the chance.
In his two full seasons where he avoided significant injuries, Allen totaled 17.5 tackles for a loss, including six sacks, and was selected as a second-team All-SEC linebacker. He's a versatile defender with all of the necessary tools to succeed if he can stay healthy.
