32 college football players destined to be future first round NFL Draft picks

11. Walker Little – Offensive tackle, Stanford

Stanford is known for two things in the Jim Harbaugh/David Shaw era. One is freakishly tall, and product tight ends, and the other is big physical offensive linemen. Walker Little falls in the latter category and is in prime position to become the first Stanford lineman taken in the top 10 during this era.

Little’s name has been brewing among draft circles ever since he hit the field during his freshman season. He became the first player to start at left tackle for Stanford as a freshman since 2000 and won Pac-12 Freshman Offensive Co-Player of the Year. As a sophomore, Little was All-Pac-12 first team and now going into his junior year he looks an almost lock to be in the first round of the draft.

Little has all the tools, and physical traits you want from a franchise-caliber left tackle, he’s equally adept in the run game and pass protection. What’s scary is that Little appears to be just scratching the surface of the player he can be. He still needs to fill out his frame, and once that happens, we could be looking at a big-time player both on 2019 for the Stanford Cardinals and for whatever team draft him next April.
