Sometimes it's fun to go back and see how current stars were perceived before they became stars. To go back and see how a current NFL difference-maker was projected when he was a young, wanna-be prospect. To go back and see how NFL players were viewed as high school kids. Greg Gabriel of National Football Post compiled a list of the projected top picks in the 2015 NFL Draft and the "star" rating with which they were branded in high school. It's pretty interesting.
