{{Greek myth (nymph)}}
'''Mel Kiper, Jr.''' works for [[ESPN]], Inc. He is known for his knowledge of college football and the NFL draft as well as his distinct hairstyle.
In [[Greek mythology]], '''Oreads''' (ὄρος, "mountain") were a type of [[nymph]] that lived in mountains. They were associated with [[Aphrodite]].

With the launches of ESPN2 and the ESPN.com, Kiper has become more and more visible, and has made the NFL draft, a weekend event in the spring, a year-round event.

In 1994, then-[[Indianapolis Colts]] general manager [[Bill Tobin]] once commented, "Who the hell is Mel Kiper? My mailman knows more about the draft than he does." Kiper had critized the Colts' choice of [[Trev Alberts]] over [[Trent Dilfer]] in that year's NFL entry draft. Ironically, Tobin's comment helped Kiper cement his status as the best of the NFL draft analysts.

Kiper grew up in Baltimore and, with his family, continues to reside there. He attended [[Calvert Hall College High School]] and [[Essex Community College]]. He stopped partcipating in varsity athletics his sophomore year in high school. He never has coached a sport on any level either.
