6 of the Biggest Sleepers in the 2026 NFL Draft for Dynasty! NFL Draft Podcast - EP. 1

Jagger May and Andrew Mott dive deep into six sleeper prospects who could make noise in the 2026 NFL draft on the brand new Draft Nerds pod.

The guys break down running back Emmett Johnson from Nebraska, who posted 1,451 yards and 12 touchdowns while showing elite receiving skills with 46 catches. Andrew sees potential as the RB2 in this class, comparing him to Chase Brown and Rico Dowdle. Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss from Ole Miss gets mixed reviews due to arm strength concerns, though his mobility could land him in the right situation.

Wide receiver Eric McAllister from TCU brings size at six foot three but has limited route running. Bryce Lance from North Dakota State, brother of Trey Lance, shows high motor and contested catch ability heading into the Senior Bowl. The episode wraps with tight end Michael Trigg from Baylor, a 642 pound athlete who could sneak into rookie draft first rounds given the weak class. Check out the full breakdown for Dynasty Rankings and Rookie Big Boards.
