Shaun Draughn 2009 running back sleeper

Posted Jul 2, 2009
Shaun Draughn, North Carolina - After the Greg Little experiment failed, the Tar Heels turned to a converted defensive back to jumpstart the rushing attack. Draughn's first career carries were last season, as he collected 866 yards and three scores. If Draughn can punch it in the endzone a few more times this season, his value should see a significant bump. (Athlon Sports)
