 20. Seantrel Henderson, Buffalo Bills

The No. 237 pick overall in the 2014 NFL Draft was less than 20 picks away from being undrafted but after a strong offseason and preseason the former Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman has earned a starting job as the Bills right tackle.

Henderson’s talent has never been in question as the former No. 1 overall recruit in the nation coming out of high school, but his mental makeup and dedication to football certainly was after a number of off-the-field incidents during his college career raised red flags about a pro career.

After a disappointing pro day workout where some reports said he quit during the workout, Henderson has put in the work and the 6-7, 330-pound right tackle is starting over the team’s second round pick Cyrus Kouandjio and easily could be the biggest steal in the draft.
