The Top Five Sleeper Sports Cards Of The 2021 NFL Draft

Of course I'm super high on Trevor Lawrence rookie cards, Zach Wilson rookie cards, Trey Lance rookie cards and Justin Fields rookie cards, and I've pre-ordered several of them from Panini, Leaf / Pro Set and I even scored the recent Trevor Lawrence Exclusive Topps Set from Topps.com, but I'm here to tell you about the top sleeper sports cards from the 2021 NFL Draft.

To understand the concept of what a "sleeper" is, you have to understand fantasy sports. NoOffseason.com was a fantasy football website from 2006-2011, where I wrote 3-5 times a day about how to win your dynasty fantasy football leagues. In many respects, collecting NFL cards is very similar to trying to plan out a dynasty fantasy football roster.

Because I wrote more than 5,000 dynasty fantasy football articles in my 20s, you can imagine as I approach 40, there's some irony here, but also a ton of passion.

I digress.

A "sleeper," for those of you who don't know, is a bit of a long shot. A guy you predict will rise in performance and/or value - and the OR is very important here - over the next three to six months.

You see, in Sports Cards, much like dynasty fantasy football, a player's perceived future opportunity for performance is equally as important as his actually on the field play.

So, even if a player doesn't perform well (or hasn't played in a game yet), their perceived opportunity for future performance results in their VALUE.

The following players are the less obvious choices to have a solid VALUE increase in their sports cards as a result of the 2021 NFL Draft.
