Alabama Crimson Tide #13 player, Tua Tagovailoa is a quality quarterback. At a height of 6'1" and a weight of 218lbs, this superstar-in-the-making is ready to take the NFL by storm. In 2019, he season stats indicated he managed 2,840 yards, 33 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions. While certainly not masterclass level, he has the makings of an NFL champion.

To fully appreciate his potential value for the NFL, in his case the Miami Dolphins,  it's worth reflecting on his performances since 2017, when he exploded onto the scene:

NFL is the ultimate league for professional football players. This sport is all about gaining the advantage over the opposition, and that means steamrolling them at every opportunity. Don't let all the protective gear fool you for a second – when a 300-pound athlete stops you dead in your tracks, it's like getting T-boned by a semi on an icy road. Ask any of the NFL players who have been involved in the hardest tackles ever, and they’ll certainly attest to the brute force of these bone-crunching sacks.

Would you believe that the testosterone-fueled sport of professional football is also the sport with one of the highest arrest records in the country. Makes sense, given the power, ferocity, and adrenaline-laden nature of the NFL. These players are tough as nails. It’s gridiron. If you can't take the hits, and dish out plenty of punishment of your own, you’re going to get benched, sacked, or dropped from consideration.

The NFL Draft is when magic happens. Draft selections can make or break a team, and immortalize football players in the annals of NFL history. In this post, I'm going to explore 6 NFL Draft selections that turned out to be sensational picks. These players became giants of the NFL, leading from the front, and steamrolling the competition in the process.
