Best Round 2 picks in the history of NFL

Players’ draft stock rise and fall leading up to the draft. That doesn't take away the talent that these athletes possess. The NFL has seen some of the most exceptional players being drafted in the Round 2 of the NFL Draft. Here are a few of the best selections in Round 2.

Rob Gronkowski, Tight End

Arguably the greatest tight end of all time, Rob Gronkowski was selected by the New England Patriots as the 42nd overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. The franchise hit a home run with the selection. Gronkowski’s connection with Tom Brady turned out to be lethal. The former TE won four Super Bowls in his 11-year NFL career.

Davante Adams, Wide Receiver

Davante Adams is the star WR for the Las Vegas Raiders. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the 2014 NFL Draft as the 53rd overall pick. He grew to become the right hand guy for Aaron Rodgers during his time in Green Bay. He’s the second highest paid WR in the league.

Derrick Henry, Running Back, (No. 45, 2016)

Derrick Henry is arguably the best running back in the league in 2023. The Tennessee Titans drafted him as the 45th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. In his 8-year NFL career, the RB has made three Pro Bowl selections, two time rushing yards and rushing touchdowns leader and has also won the offensive player of the year award, among many other accolades.

Brett Favre, Quarterback

While Brett Favre turned out to be a Packers legend, he was initially picked by the Atlanta Falcons in the 1991 NFL Draft as the 33rd overall pick. During his time with the Packers, he won a Super Bowl and became the only player to win three consecutive MVP awards.

Other honorable mentions from Round 2 who made a mark in the NFL include Drew Brees, LeSean McCoy, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Michael Strahan, LeRoy Butler, Howie Long, Jarvis Landry and more.
