2006 DRAFT ALL
STAR GAME COMMENTS
SENIOR
BOWL
| Williams |
RB |
Memphis |
Quick, quick, quick. Williams
is the real deal, he has great acceleration, good hands, and is
stronger than you think. Best player in the game. |
| Harrison |
RB |
Washington St |
Has quick feet. Harrison changes direction very well,
is slippery making tacklers miss, and showed the ability to run
inside. |
| Bell |
RB |
Arizona |
Showed good cutting ability and power running skills.
In practice caught the ball well. |
| Whitehurst |
QB |
Clemson |
Cutler and Croyle were the talk of practice, but Whitehurst
gets the nod, ever so slightly for his play during the game.
No quarterback looked great during the game. |
| Moss |
WR |
Miami |
A very explosive player. Moss is quick, fast, and has
good hands. A definite play-maker in the NFL. |
| Williams |
WR |

Had an excellent week of practice,
but got banged up late and was limited in the gae. Williams
is a consistent performer with good hands and moves. |

catching the ball. Showed the ability to make catches down
the field. |

against both the pass and the run. |
