2010 NFL Supplemental Draft: 10 Possible Suitors for BYU's Harvey Unga

The NFL's Supplemental Draft will occur on Thursday, July 15. If you are not familiar with this draft, it is held for college players who did not meet the deadline for declaring their eligibility for April's NFL Draft.

One of the more recognizable names who got drafted in the supplemental draft is Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Jared Gaither.

Now everyone is abuzz about BYU's 6'1" 244 pound running back Harvey Unga.

In 2009, Unga ran for nearly 1,100 yards and 11 touchdowns, but he supposedly broke the school's honor code, as he allegedly had premarital sex with his girlfriend.

Unga has many teams interested in his size and power and reportedly 20 teams visited him to see his workout.

The following are teams that may take a chance on Unga and pick him in the 2010 NFL Supplemental Draft.

Now that LenDale White has been cut from the roster, the Seahawks might be looking for a power back to compliment both Justin Forsett and Leon Washington, which makes Seattle a logical landing spot for Unga.

Bottom line is that the Rams need to get another running back in the mix in order to prevent Steven Jackson from getting burned out, because he has been the workhorse and the feature of their offense for several years in a row now.

If they want him to see 30, then Unga could help give Jackson a few breathers during games.

In 2009, the Bucs signed Derrick Ward from the Giants to help their running attack because they had no clue how well Cadillac Williams would recover from two knee injuries in two straight seasons.

Ironically, Williams ran better than both Ward and Earnest Graham and now the Bucs might be in the market for a power runner to compliment Williams with Unga.

Detroit Lions

The Lions added an explosive playmaker in the 2010 draft when they traded back into the first round to grab running back Jahvid Best.

Adding some power in their running attack is a possibility too, so do not count the Lions out of the Unga race just yet.

Cleveland Browns

Browns coach Eric Mangini wants to run the ball and he wants to run the ball a lot.

Right now there may not be much room in the Browns' backfield that is filled with Jerome Harrison, Montario Hardesty, James Davis, and Peyton Hillis, but the Browns were also reported to be one of the 20 NFL teams who went to Unga's workout.

Looks like the Browns want to bring back smash-mouth to the AFC North in 2010 just the same as the Steelers, which should make for some classic matchups.

Chicago Bears

Bears running back Matt Forte didn't have a terrible 2009 season nor did he get bit by the sophomore slump, but the Bears brought in free agent Chester Taylor to help bolster their running attack.

Adding Unga's power could also be a great addition to a high flying offense led by gunslinger Jay Cutler.

The Broncos may want to bring on a power aspect to their running game to help compliment starter Knowshon Moreno in the backfield.

Enter Unga as the goal line and short yardage back.

NFL fans should know how much this guy loves to stockpile running backs, so the Redskins could be in the mix too.
