The 2027 NFL Draft conversation is heating up, but plenty of talented prospects are still flying under the radar. While most of the attention goes to the biggest names in college football, there are players across the country putting together impressive seasons who deserve a closer look. On this episode of the TDR Draft Show, Christian Williams and Kevin Coleman highlight some lesser-known prospects who could make noise as the draft process unfolds.
We’re diving into several positions, including quarterbacks Katin Houser (Illinois) and Conner Weigman (Houston), wide receivers Justin Bowick (Oklahoma State) and Carlos Hernandez (Wake Forest), and defensive tackles AJ Holmes Jr. (Texas Tech) and Zarion Walters (North Carolina Central). We’ll also break down several intriguing prospects at other positions, including Lance Heard, Rocky Beers, Kingston Lopa, and Wayshawn Parker, while giving an honorable mention to Georgia running back Dwight Phillips Jr.
The goal is simple: identify talented players before they become household names. We’ll examine their production, advanced metrics, NFL traits, and long-term draft outlooks to determine which prospects deserve more attention. Whether you’re preparing for the 2027 NFL Draft, scouting future dynasty rookie targets, or just looking to expand your college football watchlist, this episode has plenty of names worth knowing.
