34. Rex Burkhead, RB, New England Patriots

Rex Burkhead isn’t a name that gets thrown around a lot when talking about great players, but he is a great fit with the New England Patriots. After four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, Burkhead joined New England prior to the 2017 season. He wasn’t expected to be a star for them but instead, he’s a role player that does a lot of the little things they need in order to win.

In his two seasons with the Patriots, Burkhead has 450 yards rushing and five touchdowns. He’s added another 385 yards through the air and four more touchdowns. He really showed his worth during their Super Bowl run in 2018 as he added three more touchdowns in the postseason.

35. Gus Edwards, RB, Baltimore Ravens

Undrafted out of Rutgers in 2018, running back Gus Edwards was one of the more pleasant surprises in the league last season. He went from being a relatively unknown player to the starting running back for a playoff team as the season came to a close.

He ended up topping the 100-yard mark three times on the season and had 718 yards on the ground and two touchdowns when it was all said and done.

36. Budda Baker, S, Arizona Cardinals

No. 36 on our list is Budda Baker — who was the No. 36 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft out of Washington. Known for his speed and athleticism, Baker quickly became a starter in the desert and blossomed in his second season. He even topped triple digits in tackles this past season, finishing his sophomore campaign with 102 tackles.
