Andre Hatchett may well be the very best sleeper pick of this year’s draft.
Hatchett is an explosive outside linebacker with tremendous closing speed
and incredible tackling skills. Hatchett led his team in tackles and won team
defensive MVP honors his senior season. On film, Hatchett reminds many of
another speedy 5’11’’ outside linebacker who came out of college under the
radar, Indianapolis Colts superstar, Gary Brackett.
