Pat
White |
QB |
West
Virgina |
White
is a great athlete who showed he has a NFL-arm. White ran
well, threw one beautiful deep ball, showed arm strength and
looked like he could play quarterback in the NFL. However,
he would be a great wildcat option. |
Nathan
Brown |
QB |
Central
Arkansas |
Brown
had a very good game. He moved his team, throw with good
zip, threw with touch and looks like he could be a very good NFL
backup worst case. He did have trouble with a QB exchange,
something that also plagued him in practice. |
Kory
Sheets |
RB
KR |
Purdue |
Sheets
looked very good in the game. He had some very nice runs
showing he could accelerate quickly and read his blockers.
He also had a good kick return, caught a screen pass and I saw
at least one special teams tackle. An impressive
game and a player I want to see measureables on. |
Cedric
Peerman |
RB |
Virginia |
With
the exception of a fumble (which is a concern because of his
small hands), Peerman looked very good. He showed the
ability to make tacklers miss, and toughness after being
hit. |
Jeremiah
Johnson |
RB |
Oregon |
Johnson
looked extremely quick with the ability to cut on a dime.
He has the look of a very good third down, change-of-pace
back. |
Andre
Brown |
RB |
N
C State |
Brown's
stat line from the game is deceiving. He did have a nice
run on a screen pass showing decent speed. However in the
run game it was the little things that stood out.
For example a fourth down conversion when there was not really a
hole to run through, a one yard TD, the ability for a bigger
back to bounce a run outside and gain good yards. |
Quinn
Johnson |
FB |
LSU |
Johnson
showed he could catch the ball, gain tough yards after the catch
and block in the run game. He did get beat at least once
that I noted in pass blocking. |
Juaquin
Iglesias |
WR |
Oklahoma |
Iglesias
had a great game. He showed reliable hands making some
very good catches. He also got open deep, came back for
underthrown balls and had good YAC. He had an even better
day than his impressive stat line since I saw him get open with
a nice double move but the pass was off, and he made a nice
catch but couldn't stay inbounds. |
Derrick
Williams |
WR
KR
PR |
Penn
State |
After
a great week in practice, Williams didn't get many receiving
opportunities in the game. He did make a good grab,
however, on a low throw. However, Williams had a couple of
nice kick returns and a good punt return. He did, however,
fair catch a punt inside the 10 yard line. |
Mike
Wallace |
WR
KR |
Mississippi |
Wallace
is on this list because of a good kick return and one play where
he got open deep and made a great grab for a touchdown. |
Mike
Thomas |
WR
KR
PR |
Arizona |
Thomas,
a late add beacuse of his stellar play at the East West Shrine
Game, continued his fine post-season. Thomas had a good
kick return, made one very nice catch and run and got open deep
(bad pass). He did very bad on a punt return where he
misjudged the ball and fumbled it out of bounds. |
William
Beatty |
OT |
Connecticut |
I
was very very impressed with Beatty. He blocked well in
the run game and the pass game. Beatty is a prospect to
keep an eye on. |
Michael
Oher |
OT |
Mississippi |
Oher
played a solid game. He was good in pass protection and I
noticed a nice seal block on a running play. |
Eric
Wood |
C
OG |
Louisville |
Wood
did not look great in the one-on-one's in practice. NFL
Network analyst Mike Mayock said one-on-one's wouldn't be his
forte but he is great in games. Mayock was right.
Wood looked very good in the game. He looked good
run blocking straight ahead, I he looked good pulling and was
solid in pass protection as well. |
Herman
Johnson |
OG |
LSU |
Johnson
is a big kid who looked good blocking on running plays, was
solid in pass protection and cleared the way on a goal line run. |
Robert
Ayers |
DE |
Tennessee |
Ayers
showed excellent pass rush skills and also had a nice play
against the run where chased down and tackled a ballcarrier. |
Tim
Jamison |
DE |
Michigan |
Jamison
had a sneaky solid game. He showed some pass rush ability,
made a nice play on a goal line run and mad a nice tackle on
another play. |
Mitch
King |
DT
DE |
Iowa |
King
was all over the field in much the same way Laws was last
year. He is an undersized tackle who could find a home as
a 3-4 defensive end. King made tackles, played off blocks,
pushed the pocket and got penetration against the pass.
All in all a great game for King. |
B.
J.
Raji |
DT |
Boston
College |
Had
a solid but not spectacular game. He fought of blocks to
make stops in the run game, made it tough to run on the goal
line and generally did the little things good defensive tackles
do every game. |
Scott
McKillop |
ILB |
Pittsburgh |
McKillop
looked good playing against the run. He made a number of
tackles and on I remember well wa an excellent play on a draw. |
Rey
Maualuga |
ILB |
USC |
Despite
one missed tackle, Maualuga was hard to miss on the field.
He forced a fumble and made a great read and tackle on a screen
pass. |
Darry
Beckwith |
ILB |
LSU |
Beckwith
played with smarts and speed. He made a good read on a
pass and broke the play up, made a good play on the goal line,
and a great play on a screen pass. |
Tyrone
Mckenzie |
OLB |
USF |
McKenzie
jumped out in a couple of instances during the game, including a
good play in pass defense and blowing up a running play. |
Brian
Cushing |
OLB |
USC |
Despite
a missed tackle Cushing played a solid game. He flashed
both against the pass and the run. |
Macho
Harris |
CB
PR |
Virginia
Tech |
Harris
played very well and very consistently in pass defense. He
also stood out with good coverage on a punt return. He did
not have any stand out punt returns. |
Ellis
Lankster |
CB |
West
Virginia |
Lankster
had a very interesting game. He had two of the better
plays in the game. One was great coverage and a terrific
interception, the other was a great play coming up to stop a run
where he was very physical. Other than those two plays he
was okay in pass coverage except for a play at the end of the
second quarter where he let a receiver beat him deep when he
made a bad decision to jump a route. |
Darius
Butler |
CB
KR |
Connecticut |
Butler
had a couple of nice plays in coverage and had a good kick
return. On one play where he gave too much cushion he was
up on the receiver quickly and made a sure tackle. |
Patrick
Chung |
SS
KR |
Oregon |
Outside
of being pushed back by a Quinn Johnson block, Chung played a
good game. He had a number of big hits. He did not
have any memorable kick returns. |
Derek
Pegues |
FS
KR
PR |
Mississippi
State |
Pegues
flashed a number of times during the game. He stayed at
home nicely on a reverse, made a good play preventing forcing a
runner to cut back to the middle where defenders could stop him
instead of continuing to go outside for a very long gain, and a
had a terrific kick return where he showed a combination of
toughness and elusiveness. |
