The NFL draft has become as much about entertainment as it's about selecting players to build a winning football team. There’s an old saying that hard work trumps talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Just take a look at one of the NFL greatest underdog stories, the 199th player selected in the 2000 NFL Draft. But there are other NFL players who were drafted late that became stars, players like Richard Dent, Dwight Clark, Terrell Davis, Mike Webster and Shannon Sharpe. No matter how things shake out in Nashville, the NFL draft holds lessons that every leader can stand to learn.
