A “sleeper,” by definition, isn’t Rip Van Winkle. Although that’s funny.
Not really.
A sleeper is basically an underdog, a team or a person that you might not think would succeed at something, but ultimately does.
They’ve got a story on one of our favorite sites, Thecomeback.com, where they analyze the biggest sleepers in this year’s NFL Draft. Here’s the link: Who are the biggest sleepers in the NFL Draft? (thecomeback.com). The gist of the story: four of The Comeback’s writers – Matt Clapp, Michael Dixon, Sam Neumann and Reice Shipley – take their shot at naming the draft’s players who are flying under the radar, so to speak.
We’re not gonna give ‘em all away, but here are a few: edge rusher Chop Robinson from Penn State, tight end Ben Sinnott of Kansas State, Miam safety Kamren Kinchens, and Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt.
And then there’s this: if you’re a wrestling fan, you might have saw an attack on All Elite Wrestling owner Tony Khan by wrestlers Jack Perry, and brothers Matt and Nick Jackson on Wednesday night’s episode of “AEW Dynamite” on TNT.
Khan, of course, is the son of Jacskonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan, and Tony is also a member of the Jaguars’ front office, and a film crew from freakin’ NFL Films has been following the younger Khan around since Wednesday, prior to the episode, according to this story on awfulannouncing.com (Will Tony Khan sell his fake wrestling injury during the NFL Draft? ).
Will Khan “sell” the injuries he “suffered” on air tonight? Will Perry and the Young Bucks burst into the room to finish him off? 😊
Time will tell.
