In terms of physical gifts? Mathieu

In terms of overachiving because of what miles did for him?
Hester

How do you see these guys as overachievers?
What is your definition?

The biggest overachiever I can think of is John David Moore and there isn't really anyone else close.
You gotta give Les credit for that one.

Patrick Peterson

That public drag-along from Cam Newton being his only hiccup in his entire college career.

To get away from Mathieu and Claiborne who are both great answers, I'll take Kelvin Sheppard.

Does Delvin Breaux count? If so, gotta say he's #1.

If we're going back to recruits before Miles got here, Tyson Jackson was ranked 2 spots higher than Hester in the nation that year and played his way into the #3 overall pick in the NFL draft.

dude went from an unrated 2 star, not even listed among the top 75 CBs, to the number 6 pick in the draft.

JD Moore was a WALK ON for crying out loud! Earned a scholarship and seems to make or break Leonard's success.

K Minter and D Jones are both hard workers and deserving of where they are today.
