10 NFL sleepers to watch in the 2020 season

Kareem Hunt, Cleveland Browns

As a rookie in 2017, Hunt burst onto the scene for more than 1,300 yards and eight touchdowns, making the Pro Bowl and igniting the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense.

The next year, Hunt was on track to be even better, but off-field transgressions caused Kansas City to cut its star rusher, and Hunt sat out the rest of the season as a free agent.

The Cleveland Browns took a gamble and signed Hunt, knowing he’d be suspended for half of the 2019 season but speculated it would be worth the risk. And, Hunt was not terrible in his eight games in Cleveland, but he managed only 4.2 yards per carry and never seemed to get into a good rhythm.

But in 2020 the former Toledo standout has a full offseason with the Browns. He also has no suspension to deal with and a contract yet ahead. Look for Hunt to re-establish himself to his pre-suspension form and as one of the top rushers in football.

Whatever occurs, it is fair to label Hunt as an excellent sleeper for 2020.
