My sleeper pick is Brennan Marion a WR from the University of Tulsa. I think he can be had in the 7th round. He could be a steal. He's very fast, runs good routes, and has great hands. He can also return.

Overview
After playing at two different junior colleges, Marion stepped onto the Football Bowl Subdivision stage by scoring 11 touchdowns and averaging a whopping 31.9 yards on each of his 39 receptions (that's 1,244 yards) in Tulsa's high-octane offense in 2007. He followed up that second team All-Conference USA season with a first team all-conference 2008 where he merely averaged 25.9 yards per catch (43 receptions, 1,112 yards, eight scores). His frame is slight and his game has holes, but few college receivers have that sort of consistent big play ability. Missed bowl game with knee injury suffered making a cut on the last play of the Conference USA championship game.

2007 Season
Second team All-Conf USA.

Junior College
Transferred to Tulsa from DeAnza Junior College, where he played one season . . . led California junior colleges in receiving with 1,196 yards and 16 touchdowns on 60 receptions . . . earned honorable mention All-America honors.

High School
Was a four-year prep letterwinner in football, basketball and track . . . was a starting receiver and cornerback at Greensburg High School as a senior . . . had 23 receptions for 400 yards and four touchdowns, and four interceptions his senior season.

Personal
Favorite sport to watch and player other than football is basketball … his favorite movie is Coming to America … his best friend on another college football team is Akron's Chuck Thompson … favorite NFL player while growing up was Deion Sanders … favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird … nicknamed the "Milkman" … his nickname came from Tulsa radio broadcaster Bruce Howard … parents are Jeff Marion and Richelle Bey … majoring in sociology.
