You've definitely heard of Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. You've probably heard of his teammate, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. They might even go Nos. 1 and 2 in the 2020 NFL draft. But where do NFL scouts separate themselves? Filling out their rosters with quality prospects on Days 2 on 3.
Using Pro Football Focus grades -- we grade and chart every play of every game of the college football season -- we looked for prospects currently flying under the radar who deserve more attention heading into April's draft. These are players who our advanced staff and draft analysts love more than the general consensus.
Here are 10 such prospects who excel on limited snaps or in particular roles, come from smaller schools or have played at a higher level than their stats would suggest.
Note: All statistics and rankings are from PFF.
Joe Burrow, QB, LSU
Class: Senior | HT: 6-foot-4 | WT: 216
Stat to know: 1,103: Burrow's passing yards on throws 10-plus yards downfield, most in the FBS
Why we like him: Burrow's stats so far this season are far from fool's gold. He has earned them by being the most impressive quarterback in the country when throwing the football down the field. He's completing 76.2% of his pass attempts at 10-plus yards, which is far and away the best mark in the country.
Game to watch: Nov. 9 at Alabama
Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU
Class: Junior | HT: 5-foot-11 | WT: 195
Stat to know: 744: Reagor's deep receiving yards (20-plus yards downfield) since 2017
Why we like him: Reagor has only 117 yards through four games, but that doesn't do him justice. His quarterback has whiffed on at least three wide-open deep balls, and he was not given a chance on other occasions on which plays could have been made. Reagor separates at as high a level as any receiver in the country, and he showed that he can play bigger than his 5-foot-11, 195-pound frame last season, when he hauled in 14 contested catches.
Game to watch: Oct. 26 vs. Texas
Zack Moss, RB, Utah
Class: Senior | HT: 5-foot-10 | WT: 220
Stats to know: 34: Missed tackles forced on just 63 carries, helping him gain 311 of his 393 yards after contact
Why we like him: The No. 3 running back on the PFF draft board, Moss is more difficult to tackle than any other back in the country this season. He has broken tackles at the highest rate among Power 5 running backs. With plus speed and good size, he'll be an ideal bell-cow candidate in the NFL.
Game to watch: Nov. 2 at Washington
Zack Moss gives Utah a 23-6 lead after punching through the BYU defense for a 4-yard touchdown.
Hunter Bryant, TE, Washington
Class: Junior | HT: 6-foot-2 | WT: 239
Stat to know: 3.31: Yards per route run in 2019, the highest among FBS tight ends with at least 75 snaps
Why we like him: On a per-route basis -- the junior has averaged 3.25 yards per route in his career -- no college tight end has been more productive since PFF began grading. The junior is a tad undersized, but his receiving skills are such that he could legitimately be a wide receiver at the next level.
Game to watch: Oct. 5 at Stanford
Josh Jones, OT, Houston
Class: Senior | HT: 6-foot-7 | WT: 310
Stat to know: 2: Quarterback hurries that Jones has allowed on 170 pass-blocking snaps this season
Why we like him: Jones has been lock-down in pass protection for three straight seasons, and he has taken it to another level in 2019. The four-year starter has seen his run-blocking grade leap to more than 90.0 after finishing at 62.8 in 2018. Although his pass sets need refining, Jones has the athleticism and length to hold up in the NFL, unlike a lot of small-school tackles.
Game to watch: Whichever postseason showcase bowl he's invited to
Netane Muti, OG, Fresno State
Class: Junior | HT: 6-foot-3 | WT: 307
Stat to know: 3: The number of total pressures Muti has allowed on 148 pass-blocking snaps
Why we like him: Muti is in the conversation with Georgia's Andrew Thomas and Iowa's Tristan Wirfs for the most powerful offensive lineman in the country. His highlight reel is on par with that of Quenton Nelson for how many pancakes he has stacked in his career. He is completely impervious to the bull rush in pass protection and has allowed only 14 pressures on 697 pass-blocking snaps in his career.
Game to watch: Go back, and watch Week 1 at USC (Aug. 31). He didn't allow a single pressure on his 51 reps in pass protection against USC's stout pass-rushers.
Jordan Elliott, DT, Missouri
Class: Junior | HT: 6-foot-4 | WT: 315
Stat to know: 22.7%: Elliott's pass-rush win rate, sixth among interior defensive linemen
Why we like him: Elliott has some of the heaviest hands of any defensive tackle in the country. But he wasn't a starter for Missouri until toward the end of the 2018 season. Now a redshirt junior, he's seeing real snaps and putting up real numbers. Elliott already has 10 pressures through four games and a 90.0-plus pass-rushing grade. And he is still rising up our board.
Game to watch: Nov. 9 at Georgia
Carlos Basham Jr., DE, Wake Forest
Class: Junior | HT: 6-foot-5 | WT: 275
Stat to know: 20.4%: Basham's pass-rush win rate, 12th in the country among edge defenders
Why we like him: It's easy to like a 6-foot-5, 275-pound defensive end with the kind of explosiveness Basham possesses. That size-speed profile makes you think the redshirt junior could be a deadly pocket pusher at the next level. After 52 pressures in 12 games last season, Basham has 22 through five games this season.
Game to watch: Nov. 16 at Clemson
Willie Gay Jr., LB, Mississippi State
Class: Junior | HT: 6-foot-2 | WT: 240
Stats to know: 26.4: Opposing quarterbacks' passer rating when Gay has been targeted in his career (29 targets, 16 receptions, 112 yards, 0 TD, 3 INT)
Why we like him: There might not be a faster true linebacker in the country. It's likely that Gay will run somewhere in the 4.4s at the NFL combine. After earning coverage grades of 87.1 as a freshman and 90.6 as a sophomore, Gay made his 2019 debut in late September against Kentucky and had a pick-six on his first drive. He's no thumper in the run game, but his sideline-to-sideline ability is legit.
Game to watch: Oct. 19 vs. LSU
Ashtyn Davis, S, California
Class: Senior | HT: 6-foot-1 | WT: 200
Stat to know: 20.0%: Davis' forced incompletion percentage, 14th among FBS safeties
Why we like him: It doesn't take long to figure out that Davis is a former track standout. The redshirt senior covers more ground on the back end than any other safety in the country. And range on the back end is one of the more valuable traits for a safety in today's NFL. Davis has shown the ability to make plays from the middle of the field all the way to the sideline for Cal.
