Craft of the Draft surveyed 29 AFL Draft prospects about the player flying most under the radar in this year's crop of players, with a pair of players receiving three nominations each.

Unheralded Western Australian defender Tom Brown and Vic Country co-captain Noah Williams were the most nominated by their contemporaries.

Brown, an athletic defender who plays taller than his 188cm billing, was nominated by forward Harvey Spawton-Guy, ruck Benji van Rooyen and utility George Gale as the prospect who most deserved more attention.

"He's a really competitive beast, does what he needs for the team and he's a ripper," Spawton-Guy said of Brown.

"He knows when to be serious as well so there's no-one else you would want to take the field with."

Several opponents also noted Brown as their toughest direct opponent, with Koby LeCras and Wil Malady among his scalps.

Meanwhile, Williams' nominations came after a season punctuated by a hamstring injury, yet he has still proven himself to be a big game performer.

Carlton father-son prospect Cody Walker, Geelong Falcons teammate Jack Pickett and Brisbane-tied gun Caylen Murray all nominated the tenacious half-back.

"It was flattening....if I had my time again I probably would manage it a bit better," Williams said of his injury.

"I couldn't get to top speed; I was at about 80 per cent. I felt good in the warm-up and at training, but then in game, I couldn't get to top speed, and my pressure and impact weren't where they were (earlier in the year), but being captain, my actions were contagious, so being positive was important."

Western Jets pair Khaled El Souki and Billy Wigmore each nominated teammate Lachie Hicks, while bolter Lochie Burrows received nominations from Sandringham teammate Tyson Bradley and star forward Sam Gayfer. Dandenong livewire Marcus Prasad and Morrish Medallist Harvie Cooke also received two nominations.
