When people talk about NFL stars who were found in the late rounds of the draft, there are a few names that are always brought up.

AFC West

Kansas City Chiefs have found some fantastic late round steals in the past. KR Dante Hall, DE Jared Allen, and most recently G Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. This year late round gem could also be an offensive line player.
