Penn State
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 3
Wt: 250
Dominant, game-impacting prospect with the ability to play on three downs. Breaks down well, uses his hands to protect himself and is incredibly athletic. Plays with balance as well as body control and is both quick and fast moving in every direction. Showed ability in pursuit as a sophomore in 2023, quickly getting out into space to make the tackle in the open field. Stacks well against the run and sells out to make the play. Agile, fluid and easily changes direction. Flows laterally with speed, goes sideline to sideline and covers a good amount of area. Effective open-field tackler. Strong, consistently takes on blocks and defeats opponents around the edge or with an inside move. Rarely off his feet. Plays with consistent pad level and gets leverage on opponents out of a three-point stance.

Did not show an explosive first step off the snap at defensive end last season. Out-positioned by larger blockers. Slow locating the ball at times last season and liked to pin his ears back and rush up field.

Carter is an explosive defensive prospect who can rush the passer, defend the run and make plays in space. He is much more than an edge rusher and has the athletic and football skills to cover tight ends downfield if necessary. He comes with a tremendous upside, and if properly coached and placed in the correct scheme, Carter will have a major impact at the next level.
Georgia
LB
Ht: 6 - 2
Wt: 245
Former reserve linebacker coming off a sensational season. Athletic, explosive and disruptive. Breaks down well, is strong for his size and is rarely off his feet. Uses his hands well and is fast moving in every direction. Quickly gets out to the flanks to make plays in pursuit and gets terrific depth on pass drops. Dynamic upfield, holds his ground against blocks from bigger offensive tackles and at times cannot be stopped. Uses his hands to protect himself and stays within pass-rush angles. Bends off the edge, flattens from the back side and covers a tremendous amount of area on the field. Sudden and flashes on the scene out of nowhere. Chases around the field and works to make positive plays.

Short. Out-positioned from the action by larger blockers. Has just one year of big-time production. Never intercepted a pass and broke up just three.

Walker showed flashes of ability as a reserve linebacker in 2023 then took his game to a whole new level last season. He's an explosive defender who plays at a high level on each snap and really stood out against top competition last season, annihilating the talented offensive tackles fielded by the Texas Longhorns. Walker is more than just an edge rusher, rather he’s a three-down defender with the ability to efficiently play in space and disrupt the action behind the line of scrimmage. He possesses a tremendous amount of upside, and in time Walker could turn into one of the best defensive players in this year's draft, if not the best.
LSU
OT
Ht: 6 - 6
Wt: 320
Tall, fluid left tackle prospect who dominates opponents when hitting on all cylinders. Displays terrific vision, makes outstanding use of angles and gets his hands into defenders to ride them from their angles of attack. Agile, easily adjusts and handles smaller, speedier pass rushers. Explosive, slides off the edge displaying lateral blocking range and stays square. Quick to the second level, shows ability pulling across the line of scrimmage and is effective blocking in motion. Good initial strength run blocking and seals defenders from the action.

Rarely finishes blocks. Does not play with a nasty attitude and at times seems even soft on the field. Arms measured 32 5/8 inches at the Combine.

When focused and on his game, Campbell looks like a terrific left tackle prospect who stands out in pass protection and can block in motion. All too often he seems to be playing half speed and gets beaten by lesser opponents. If someone lights a fire under Campbell and gets him to his ability on an every-down basis, they will have a starting left tackle on Sundays. Otherwise, he will be a major disappointment.
Michigan
DT
Ht: 6 - 3
Wt: 318
Explosive and consistent playmaker on the defensive line. Fires off the snap with an incredible first step, effectively uses his hands to protect himself or discard blockers and is always on balance. Plays with body control, slides off blockers to get to the action and gives great effort in all aspects of the game. Explosive, always attacking and plays with a violent nature. Attracts a lot of double-team blocks yet plays with leverage and is rarely off his feet. Shows ability rushing the passer and has a closing burst. Fluid when asked to twist or stunt.

Not a big-bodied defensive lineman and gets out-positioned or knocked off the ball by a single blocker. Accumulated only nine sacks the past three seasons.

Graham is an intense lineman whose nonstop motor is infectious. He leads by example, and though he does have some physical limitations, Graham should be a terrific playmaker in a four-man line.
Georgia
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 265
Explosive pass-rushing defensive end coming off a solid campaign. Consistently gets leverage on opponents, shows agility and uses his hands to protect himself. Fights hard throughout the action and is explosive and tough to knock off his feet. Moves well around the field, quickly gets into space and bends the edge with speed. Displays a lot of quickness as well as athleticism, flashes power and is effective standing over tackle or out of a three-point stance.

Possesses a thin build and gets handled at the point by a single blocker. Marginally productive for a prospect so highly considered and posted just 21 tackles and five sacks last season.

Williams showed flashes of brilliance the past three years, yet to this point he is more upside potential than on-field production. He possesses the size and athleticism to stand out on Sundays, yet he must improve his playing strength and expand his game.
Missouri
OT
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Incredibly athletic offensive lineman who is watching his draft stock soar. Blocks with consistent leverage, keeps his knees bent and is fundamentally sound. Keeps his head on a swivel, adjusts or redirects and effectively picks up the blitz. Immediately gets his hands into defenders, plays with strength and turns opponents from the action. Displays terrific vision as well as awareness and blocks with a nasty attitude. Stays square, seals defenders from the action. Tough, explosive at the point and plays with a violent attitude. Quickly gets into blocks and keeps his feet moving. Slides off the edge, shows lateral range in pass protection and makes excellent use of angles. Steers pass rushers from their angles of attack with explosive hand punch.

Does not always finish blocks and falls off opponents. Must improve his skills in pass protection, as he will get walked back into the pocket. Lacks classic height as well as arm length for an offensive tackle.

Membou was an outstanding right tackle for Missouri the past two seasons and watched his game take off. He performed brilliantly during combine workouts, timing 4.91 seconds in the 40 with a 10-yard split of 1.74 seconds after weighing in at 332 pounds. Membou is a versatile blocker who can be used at right tackle as well as guard and offers possibilities in a power gap or zone-blocking scheme.
South Carolina
S
Ht: 6 - 3
Wt: 227
Incredibly athletic defensive back with linebacker size. Instinctive, effectively reads and diagnoses plays and has a great closing burst to the action. Fast in every direction, easily moves around the field and quickly gets to the flanks in coverage. Forceful, violent hitter who possesses an imposing build. Quickly picks up coverage assignments, anticipates routes and shows a nice move to the throw. Battles opponents to break up throws and possesses outstanding hands for the interception. Explosive run defender who fires upfield and wraps up tackling. Easily defeats blocks to get to the action. Intercepted four passes last season after breaking up 10 the prior year. Combine testing numbers included 4.38 seconds in the 40 with a 43-inch vertical jump and an 11'6" broad jump. Also completed 20 reps on the bench.

Inefficient and constantly overruns or overpursues plays. Must improve his backpedal and be more consistent moving in reverse. Runs hot and cold in his play.

Emmanwori was a productive defender at South Carolina the past three seasons and really watched his play, specifically his ability in coverage, take off the past two years. He's an Olympic-type athlete who offers possibilities as a zone or strong safety and can even be used as a one-gap linebacker. He's a defensive coordinator’s dream, yet he will not fit every scheme.
Michigan
CB
Ht: 6 - 2
Wt: 202
Potentially dominant shutdown cornerback. Smooth, fluid and sticks with receivers all over the field. Engages receivers at the line of scrimmage, is quick-footed in reverse and stays on the opponent’s hip out of breaks. Possesses an explosive burst to the ball and is quick to close. Disciplined and keeps the action in front of him. Tracks the pass in the air and displays outstanding hands for the interception. Fires up the field and gives effort against screen throws or the run. Effectively communicates with teammates in the secondary.

Not a stout tackler and does more hitting than wrap-up tackling. Often slow transitioning off the line and must play catch-up. Quick out of his backpedal. Seems to be playing half-speed at times last season and gave up a number of underneath receptions. Missed the second half of a slightly disappointing season with injury.

At times the past two seasons, Johnson was a dominant cornerback who was purposely avoided by opponents. He possesses the size and ball skills to be a dominant No. 1 on Sundays, but he must improve his game and apply that ability on every snap.
Tennessee
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 242
Athletic and explosive pass rusher with tremendous upside. Breaks down well, stays with assignments and fluidly moves in any direction of the field. Covers a tremendous amount of area, is fast to the flanks and possesses a closing burst. Strong for his size, keeps his feet moving and easily changes direction or immediately alters his angle of attack on his way to the action. Resilient, remains disciplined with assignments and works hard to make the play. Stands over tackle and shows the ability to drop off the line and play in space. Occasionally comes out of a three-point stance and possesses an explosive first step. Agile, mobile and always plays with great pad level.

Possesses a tall, thin build, lack bulk and gets easily controlled by a single blocker or out-positioned by opponents.

Pearce is an athletic defender who did a lot of things well for Tennessee as a pass rusher and making plays in space. Though he was somewhat disappointing in 2024, Pearce stood out at the combine and had a tremendous athletic workout. He possesses a large upside, primarily as a 3-4 outside linebacker, and will only improve as he physically matures and adds strength to his game.
Michigan
DT
Ht: 6 - 3
Wt: 339
Dynamic defensive line prospect with incredible upside. Athletic, powerful and often looks like a man amongst boys. Overwhelming force who discards blockers and can be impossible to stop. Gets leverage on opponents, easily changes direction and shows the ability to get outside the box then make plays in pursuit. Powerful, agile and stays on his feet against double-team blocks. Gives effort defending the run and easily redirects to the action. Recorded 12 PBUs the past two seasons.

Must be quicker disengaging from blocks. Must learn more moves and be more consistent using his hands to protect himself.

Grant is an incredible physical specimen who comes with huge upside. Compared to his teammate Mason Graham, he's not as polished nor is he as safe of a prospect, rather he has tremendous upside and could be a better pro in two years. Grant needs to finish his game and learn more techniques, but he could be a dominant starting defensive tackle in the NFL.
Ohio State
OT
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 311
San Diego State transfer with experience at both the left and right tackle. Blocks with proper knee bend as well as pad level and keeps his feet moving. Agile and slides off the edge in pass protection. Works his hands throughout the action and easily adjusts or redirects to quick, nimble pass rushers. Displays excellent lateral blocking range as well as footwork, stays square and seals defenders from the action. Shows a lot of ability blocking in motion and gets good fits on linebackers. Makes proper use of angles, correctly places his hands into defenders and stays with assignments.

Slow picking up stunts and twists. Doesn't finish run blocks. Bends at the waist on occasion. Coming off a knee injury that limited him to six games last season.

Simmons was well on his way to being the top offensive tackle in this year’s draft and an early first-round pick before suffering a season-ending injury in the middle of October. He showed consistent improvement in his game the past two seasons and possesses outstanding upside, and if properly coached, Simmons should develop into a quality left tackle on Sundays once he returns to full health.
Ole Miss
DT
Ht: 6 - 4
Wt: 290
Athletic and explosive interior defensive line prospect who is a proven playmaker. Agile, mobile and plays with terrific pad level. Explosive, gets off the snap with a superior first step and keeps his feet moving. Quick in all his actions, effective when asked to twist or stunt and possesses a closing burst. Fluid moving laterally, rarely off his feet and quickly locates the ball handler. Attracts a lot of double-team blocks and is tough to move off the point. Shows ability as a run defender and pass rusher and is a disruptive force.

Lacks size as well as bulk and gets controlled by blocks. Was inconsistent throughout Senior Bowl week.

Nolen is an athletic defensive line prospect with upside who can play in a variety of schemes. He's a gap-penetrating, disruptive defender who needs to physically mature and add strength to complete his game.
Michigan
TE
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 245
Fluid pass-catching tight end with a large upside. Runs solid routes, comes back to the ball out of breaks and extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target. Natural pass catcher who looks the ball into his hands and snatches the pass away from his frame. Instinctive, settles into the open spot of the defense and smoothly moves around the field. Easily adjusts to the errant throw and makes the reception in stride. Uses his hands to separate from defenders, keeps the play in bounds after the catch and looks like a big possession wideout at times. Possesses eye/hand coordination as well as a sense of timing. Gives effort blocking.

Must improve his blocking strength. Missed the final month and a half last season with a shoulder injury that must be checked out.

Loveland was a productive tight end at Michigan who showed consistent progress in his game the past three seasons. He was reliable for the Wolverines while displaying himself as a playmaker. He possesses the agility necessary to be a No. 1 tight end on Sundays, though Loveland must improve his blocking.
Tyler Warren
Penn State
TE
Ht: 6 - 6
Wt: 257
Game-impacting tight end coming off a career season. Blocks with exceptional knee bend, stays square and out-positions defenders from the action. Plays with great intellect, consistently finds the open spot in the defense and is always on the same page as his quarterback. Comes back across the field to make himself an available target and displays terrific focus and concentration as well as a sense of timing. Adjusts to the errant throw and extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target. Sturdy pass catcher who makes the reception away from his body and holds onto the ball. Stays low exiting breaks and positions himself to make the catch. Possesses eye/hand coordination, catches everything thrown in his direction and is tough to bring down after the catch.

Not a sharp route runner and slows into breaks. Not a true downfield threat at tight end.

Putting his NFL aspirations to the side for a year, Warren returned to Penn State in 2024 and turned in a monster season. His numbers included 104 receptions, 1,233 yards and eight TDs in a year where he played tight end and center and even took snaps. He's a throwback type of tight end who does the little things well and gets the most from his ability. While everyone is in love with Warren, I don't believe he comes with great upside and is a get-what-you-see type of prospect. That being the case, he is also one of the safer players in this year's draft.
Tyler Booker
Alabama
OG
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 352
Big, strong interior offensive lineman who has displayed solid development in his game. Quick in his head, possesses excellent vision and recognizes blitzes or picks up stunts. Devastating run blocker who is strong and incredibly explosive. Sinks his butt, blocks with leverage and quickly sets up off the snap. Fires his hands into defenders, plays with strength and easily turns opponents from the action. Blocks with outstanding pad level, always looks for someone to hit and anchors in pass protection. Moves well for a big blocker, gets out to the second level and pulls across the line of scrimmage.

Struggles sliding in pass protection. Not fluid and lacks balance blocking in motion. Struggles finishing blocks on the move.

Booker is a tremendous power gap offensive lineman who dominates in the running game and shows a lot of ability in pass protection. He displays potential blocking in motion and comes with a large upside.
Jihaad Campbell
Alabama
LB
Ht: 6 - 3
Wt: 244
Athletic off-ball linebacker whose game really took off last season. Fluid moving around the field, covers a lot of area and makes plays in every direction. Vicious defender who displays outstanding awareness, quickly diagnoses the action and attacks opponents. Quickly changes direction, is fast moving laterally and stands out in pursuit. Shows ability in coverage and gets depth on pass drops. Tracks the ball in the air and shows a nice move to the throw. Takes proper angles, possesses a closing burst and shows speed moving in every direction. Wraps up tackling and brings opponents down in the open field.

Struggles taking on blocks. Lacks ball production despite the ability he shows in coverage.

Campbell is an instinctive, intense and athletic off-ball linebacker who makes plays all over the field. Posting 117 tackles last season, he's a terrific run defender, yet he’s also a three-down player once he polishes his skills in coverage. Campbell comes with tremendous upside and should quickly break into a starting lineup as a rookie.
Tyleik Williams
Ohio State
DT
Ht: 6 - 3
Wt: 327
Large, powerful and athletic defensive tackle whose game has been on the rise the past two seasons. Fires off the snap, gets leverage on opponents and effectively uses his hands. Impossible to move off the point, shows power in his lower body and knocks blockers off the line. Collects double-team blocks yet holds his ground. Exceptional with his hands, displays a variety of moves and makes a lot of plays against the run. Easily changes direction to get outside the box and make plays in space. Displays a closing burst.

Average pass rusher. Gets out-positioned by opponents despite his bulk.

Williams showed a lot of progress in his game and was a force of nature through the College Football Playoff. He possesses a great amount of physical skill and comes with scheme versatility for the next level. Williams has the size and strength to line up at defensive tackle, yet he has enough athleticism to be used as an end in a two-gap system. Underrated by many, expect Williams to quickly break into a starting lineup as a rookie.
Derrick Harmon
Oregon
DT
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 310
Michigan State transfer coming off a career year. Fires off the snap with an explosive first step, plays with intensity and goes hard. Keeps his feet moving, effectively uses his hands to protect himself and fights throughout the action. Explosive, plays low with leverage and holds his ground against blocks or penetrates the line of scrimmage. Easily changes direction, has a closing burst and makes a lot of plays behind the line of scrimmage.

More of a first-step lineman and does not display much power. Easily out-positioned by larger blockers.

Harmon turned his game up a notch after transferring to Oregon and now projects as a potential late first-round pick. He possesses terrific upside as well as growth potential, and his quickness as well as athleticism gives him potential in a variety of schemes.
Mike Green
Marshall
EDGE
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Virginia transfer coming off a sensational season. Quick, explosive and very athletic. Used out of a three-point stance as well as standing over tackle. Breaks down well, plays with excellent lean and consistently gets leverage on opponents. Easily bends off the edge then flattens and immediately changes direction to chase the action. Makes great use of his hands and displays a variety of techniques to protect himself or get off blocks. Fast moving in every direction of the field, rarely off his feet and has an explosive closing burst. Does more than pin his ears back and chase upfield, giving effort against the run and catching ball handlers in backside pursuit. Flexible, mobile and quick in his all-around game. Instinctive, quickly locates the ball handler and easily redirects to the action.

Possesses a thin build, lacks bulk and is easily knocked from the action. Really needs to improve his playing strength.

After a solid campaign in 2023, Green watched his game take off last season, finishing the year with 22.5 TFLs, 17 sacks and 15 QBHs. He's a natural pass rusher with growth potential that must be met for him to be successful on Sundays, yet Green offers possibilities as a standup linebacker in a 3-4 alignment or defensive end in a one-gap, four-man front.
Malaki Starks
Georgia
S
Ht: 6 - 1
Wt: 205
Athletic defensive back who displays a ton of ability and versatility. Effectively diagnoses plays, fires up the field with explosiveness and discards blockers to get to the action. Gives effort against the run, possesses an explosive burst to the play and makes a lot of tackles. Fast to the sidelines in coverage, works hard and comes off assignments to make the tackle. Engages slot receivers at the line of scrimmage and mixes it up throughout the route. Flips his hips in transition, moves quickly in reverse and is fast in every direction.

Gets caught out of position and overpursues plays on occasion. Struggles staying on the receiver’s hip out of breaks. Had a tendency to fall asleep in the past.

Starks was a productive three-year starter at Georgia, totaling 197 tackles and breaking up 23 passes since his freshman season. He possesses a good amount of upside, grades as one of the true center fielders in this year's draft and offers starting potential in a variety of schemes.
Jahdae Barron
Texas

Wt: 200
Opportunistic cornerback with potential at a variety of positions in the secondary. Effectively reads and diagnoses plays, tracks the pass in the air and comes off his assignment to help teammates. Effectively times pass defenses, has a nice move to the throw and is opportunistic. Intercepted five passes last season and broke up 11. Quick flipping his hips in transition, battles opponents throughout the action and displays a closing burst. Fierce, physical and defeats blocks to get upfield and make tackles against run plays and screen passes.

Must be more consistent with his backpedal. Struggles staying on the receiver’s hip out of breaks and loses inside leverage. Measured slightly under 5'11" at the combine.

Barron is a physically aggressive cornerback who displayed significant improvement in his game the past three years as a starter for Texas. He offers possibilities on the outside or as a nickel back playing over the slot receiver and comes with a large upside. Barron must improve the details of his position, yet he should quickly produce as a rookie in the NFL.
Nic Scourton
Texas A&M
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 4
Wt: 280
Athletic pass rusher who constantly disrupts the opposition’s game plan. Moves well around the field, displays good change-of-direction skills and flows laterally to defend the run.

Occasionally stands over tackle and shows pass-rushing ability. Easily redirects to the ball handler or quarterback and has a closing burst. Works hard to make all types of plays.

Must improve his strength at the point of attack. Taken from the action by opposing tight ends. Lacks classic height and weight for defensive end. Posted just five sacks last season despite all his ability.

Scourton showed a lot of ability the past three seasons, the first two with Purdue than last year at Texas A&M. He's a natural pass rusher with the athletic ability to be used up the field or in space. Scourton is a scheme-specific player, yet he comes with a large upside and will only get better as he physically matures.
Emeka Egbuka
Ohio State
WR
Ht: 6 - 1
Wt: 206
Complementary receiver who always comes through when called upon. Displays tremendous focus as well as concentration, tracks the pass in the air and extends his hands to snatch the ball away from his frame. Consistent hands catcher who is always on the same page as his quarterback and adjusts to grab the errant throw. Uses his frame to shield away opponents and protect the pass.

Immediately transitions from catching the ball to running after the catch and works hard. Does an outstanding job coming back to the ball or across the field to make himself an available target. Plays with balance as well as body control. Instinctive.

Must improve his footwork running routes. Not a deep threat and lacks the second gear.

Egbuka was super productive two of the past three seasons for Ohio State despite never being the No. 1 wideout. He has a long frame and a great head for the position, and more than anything else, he has reliable hands. He possesses enough ability to be a productive third receiver with the potential to develop into a No. 2 at the next level.
Shemar Stewart
Texas A&M
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 6
Wt: 291
Insanely athletic edge rusher with a large upside. Explosive, plays with great pad level and is fast moving to any direction of the field. Quick off the snap, keeps his feet moving and uses his hands exceptionally well. Resilient, keeps his feet off the initial block and shows speed chasing the action laterally. Slides off blocks to penetrate the line of scrimmage and displays a closing burst and the ability to disrupt the action. Exploits opposing tackles with great leverage and explosion. Shows ability coming out of a three-point stance and standing over tackle.

Knocked back off the line on running downs. Out-positioned by opponents. Often displays himself to be a straight-line defender, which results in missed opportunities. Posted just 4.5 sacks and 11 TFLs during his three-year career at Texas A&M.

Stewart grades as a top-10 prospect from a size and speed perspective, as he put up Olympian-type numbers at the combine that included 4.59 seconds in the 40 and a vertical jump of 40 inches, as well as a broad jump of 10'11". That being the case, he's much more athlete than football player to this point and comes with a bit of risk. If properly developed and able to reach his maximum, Stewart could turn into a game-impacting defensive player. Otherwise, he could end up as the next Vernon Gholston.
Matthew Golden
Texas
WR
Ht: 5-11
Wt: 191
Big-play receiver who began his college career at Houston. Plays with balance as well as body control and makes a lot of difficult receptions. Quick in his all-around game, possesses eye/hand coordination and nicely times receptions. Tracks the pass in the air, possesses soft hands and makes the difficult over-the-shoulder reception downfield. Adjusts to the errant throw, consistently catches the ball away from his frame and comes away with difficult grabs. Solid route runner who quickly gets in and out of routes.

Has games where he is a one-man show then disappears for stretches. Hot and cold with his effort and consistency. Must do better working back to the ball to make himself an available target.

Golden was the dominant receiver at Texas last season after transferring from Houston, where he consistently showed big-play potential. He turned in a great combine workout and comes with tremendous upside, yet he needs work on his game and must consistently attack the details of his position.
Landon Jackson
Arkansas
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 7
Wt: 282
Three-down defensive lineman who consistently impacts games in a variety of ways. Nasty, fights hard and moves well in every direction of the field. Resilient, gives a lot of effort defending the run and collapses down the line of scrimmage to pursue plays. Tough to move off the point, holds his ground against offensive tackles and fights hard. Gets off the snap with a solid first step, plays with proper pad level and uses violent hand punch to knock blockers back. Consistently forces opposing quarterbacks to move around the pocket, bends off the edge and has a closing burst. Explosive and plays hard. Turned in a terrific Combine workout which included a forty time of 4.68 seconds, a vertical jump of 40.5 inches and a broad jump of 10-foot-9.

Doesn't show great speed pursuing plays out to the flanks. Slow getting off blocks and gets out-positioned from the action. Not an agile edge rusher.

Jackson is an intense and intuitive defensive end with nice size as well as growth potential. He gets the most from his ability and played outstanding football against top competition last season, hammering Will Campbell of LSU as well as beating up on Kelvin Banks Jr. of Texas. He offers scheme versatility in multiple three or four-man fronts and should quickly produce as a rookie in the NFL.
Jaxson Dart
Ole Miss
QB
Ht: 6 - 2
Wt: 220
Instinctive and intellectual quarterback coming off a super productive season. Patient in the pocket and displays outstanding vision and a sense of what's happening on the field. Senses the rush, steps up to avoid defenders and rolls outside the pocket but keeps his eyes downfield. Elusive and lengthens plays with his scrambling ability. Buys as much time as necessary, remains poised under the rush and takes off upfield only as a last resort. Locates the open wideout, displays a sense of timing on throws and does not have pass catchers waiting for the ball to arrive. Accurate in the short and intermediate field and displays the ability to place passes where only his target can make the catch. Protects the football and will take the sack rather than forcing errant throws. Makes good choices and delivers a catchable pass.

Lacks a big arm, cannot drive passes downfield and ends up spraying throws when he tries to get extra speed on the ball. Can be slow moving his head from the primary target.

Dart was a terrific game manager for Mississippi who was always in control and command of the offense. Passing for 4,279 yards last season with 29 touchdown passes, the lack of arm strength does not make Dart a good fit for vertical offense, yet he offers starting potential in a timing or west coast scheme.
Grey Zabel
North Dakota State
OT
Ht: 6 - 6
Wt: 304
Talented small-school tackle who projects to guard on Sundays. Patient in pass protection, keeps his feet moving and blocks with solid fundamentals. Sets with a wide base, bends his knees and stays square. Very effective with his hands, keeps his head on a swivel and shows outstanding blocking intelligence. Works hard, consistently gets a pad on defenders to disrupt their angles of attack and anchors in pass protection. Competes hard throughout the action. Performed brilliantly during Senior Bowl practice at both guard and center.

Displays average strength and doesn't get much movement run blocking. A bit slow redirecting or adjusting to linebackers on the second level. Beaten by speed rushers.

Zabel was a productive two-year starter at both tackle spots for North Dakota State and possesses a good degree of upside. He must get bigger or stronger, yet he has the frame to add more weight and gain power.
T.J. Sanders
South Carolina
DT
Ht: 6 - 4
Wt: 290
Explosive and athletic defensive lineman with upside. Athletic, easily changes direction and moves well around the field. Explodes off the snap with a terrific first step and consistently gets leverage on defenders. Makes exceptional use of his hands and displays a variety of moves as well as a violent punch. Beats opponents with his first step and leverage. Fluid when asked to twist or stunt. Works hard and chases the action downfield if necessary.

Lacks strength as well as power in his game. Gets knocked off the line by a single opponent.

Marcus Mbow
Purdue
OT
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Athletic offensive lineman with an upside. Quickly sets up off the snap, immediately gets into blocks and moves relatively well. Displays footwork and lateral range off the edge, is exceptional with his hands and steers defenders from the action. Agile, can adjust and handles smaller edge rushers. Quick to the second level, keeps his head on a swivel and can hit a moving target. Easily seals linebackers from the action and shows a lot of ability in motion. Displays excellent awareness as well as blocking vision.

Was only a full-time starter for one season. Lacks strength at the point and does not finish run blocks. Played right tackle at Purdue but had guard measurables during Senior Bowl practices.

Mbow is a mobile and agile offensive lineman who would be a perfect fit for a zone-blocking scheme. He possesses an upside, yet he must add bulk to his frame and strength to his game to be a productive Sunday starter.
Trey Amos
Ole Miss
CB
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Often dominant cornerback coming off a tremendous campaign. Quick transitioning off the line, battles receivers throughout the route and stays on the opponent’s hip out of breaks. Displays good recognition, has a quick burst to the ball as well as a nice move to the throw and effectively times pass defenses. Physical, battles to break up passes and extends a hand to knock away the ball. Purposely avoided by opposing quarterbacks. Tracks the pass in the air and works to get his head back around. Battles bigger tight ends to defend throws and gives effort against the run. Communicates well with teammates in the secondary. Intercepted three passes and broke up 16 last season.

Must be more consistent pedaling in reverse. Does a bit of face guarding on occasion.

Amos is a well-traveled cornerback who began his career at Louisiana then moved to Alabama before hitting the jackpot at Mississippi. He possesses the size to play at the next level and showed the skills to be a starter in the NFL. There will be bumps in the road for Amos, but he comes with tremendous upside.
Shemar Turner
Texas A&M
DT
Ht: 6 - 4
Wt: 300
Nice-sized defensive end with a large upside. Breaks down well, shows a lot of athleticism in his game and moves well in every direction of the field. Quick and fluid when asked to twist or stunt, slides down the line to make plays against the run and is powerful. Effective with his hands, tough to move off the point and does the dirty work. Attracts double-team blocks in the middle of the field yet stays with the action.

Must develop more moves and become quicker disengaging from blocks. Lacks natural bulk and gets out-positioned from the action. Does not come with much growth potential.

Turner showed development in his game the past three years despite playing with a stress fracture in his leg last season. He's an athletic defensive line prospect with possibilities in a variety of schemes at defensive tackle or defensive end. Turner possesses an upside and will only improve as he physically matures.
Aireontae Ersery
Minnesota
OT
Ht: 6 - 6
Wt: 331
Large, athletic offensive tackle prospect with a huge upside. Quickly sets up off the snap, is explosive at the point and works blocks. Fundamentally sound, sets with an extremely wide base and effectively gets his hands into opponents. Patient in pass protection, makes good use of angles and shows the ability to adjust to inside moves and seal defenders from the action. Displays excellent awareness, fluidly pulls across the line of scrimmage and blocks with a nasty streak. Works well with linemates, keeps his head on a swivel and shows good awareness.

Not a dominant run blocker who drives defenders off the line. Lacks smooth and fluid footwork off the edge.

Ersery is an athletic tackle prospect with the size to play on the right side and the movement skills to be used as a weakside blocker. He needs to finish his game, but if coached correctly, Ersery could be a terrific starting offensive tackle two years down the road.
Quinn Ewers
Texas
QB
Ht: 6 - 2
Wt: 209
Tough, vertical passer who won a lot of football games on the college level. Patient in the pocket, remains poised and steps to the outside to avoid the rush. Consistently keeps his eyes downfield looking for the open wideout and displays excellent awareness and an understanding of what’s happening. Quickly locates the open pass catcher, looks away from covered targets and challenges the vertical game. Flashes the ability to deliver beautiful passes downfield that are on the mark. Possesses a fluid, smooth delivery and puts speed on throws. Goes to the safe underneath outlet when nothing is available downfield. Nicely puts touch on passes. Can scramble to elude defenders and pick up yardage with his legs. Changes his angle of release to get the ball through the tight spots. Quickly sets up to deliver the ball, naturally looks off the safety and displays a sense of timing on throws at the top of his game.

Has lapses. Indecisive and sometimes slow to pull the trigger. Will get antsy under the rush.

Early in his freshman career at Texas, Ewers displayed big-time ability and potential as a franchise signal caller. Though he never truly elevated his game, he consistently led the Longhorns deep into the college football playoffs and has been a winner. Though he had tremendous talent around them, Ewers displays all the skills necessary to lead the team on the NFL level and only needs a good quarterbacks coach to get him over the hump.
Azareye'h Thomas
Florida State
CB
Ht: 6-1.5
Wt: 197
Tall, physical cornerback who is starting to hit his stride. Quickly transitions off the line with opponents, works to get his head back around and tracks the pass in the air. Engages receivers at the line of scrimmage, mixes it up throughout routes and competes to break up throws. Physically beats down opponents to defend passes. Keeps the action in front of him, defeats blocks and fires upfield to defend run plays and screen passes.

Does not display an explosive burst to the ball of his plant. Hesitant at times. Intercepted just two passes in his college career.

Thomas is tall, physically imposing cornerback who has shown tremendous development in his game. After improving all season long, he was one of the better players at his position during three days of Senior Bowl practice. Thomas comes with a large upside, but he also possesses downside risk and will need patience and proper coaching to max out his potential.
Elijah Arroyo
Miami (FL)
TE
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Incredibly athletic pass-catching tight end who watched his game take off last season. Athletic, shows the ability to get downfield and plays with excellent speed. Tracks the pass in the air, nicely makes the reception in stride and displays himself as a legitimate vertical threat. Remains disciplined with routes, settles into the open spot of the field and works to make himself an available target. Fluid, tracks the pass in the air and nicely adjusts to the errant throw. Extends to make the reception away from his frame, looks the pass into his hands and snatches the ball out of the air. Possesses soft as well as strong hands and makes some difficult receptions. Bends his knees, blocks with leverage and stays square. Senior Bowl measurements included weighing 251 pounds with arms that measured over 33 inches 9 ½-inch hands.

Possesses average blocking strength. Does not always come away with the contested grab. Totaled just 11 receptions in 2023 and then produced 35 catches for 590 yards as a redshirt junior.

After not being a factor early in his Miami career, Arroyo watched his game take off last season, and he looked more like an oversized possession wideout than a tight end. He's a legitimate downfield pass-catching threat at the position who gives effort blocking, but he needs to polish all areas of his game. Arroyo comes with tremendous upside, yet at the same time he’s not a sure thing. He'll be a solid pick early in Day 2, and if coached correctly, he will have a long and productive NFL career.
Omarion Hampton
North Carolina
RB
Ht: 6 - 0
Wt: 220
Large, explosive downhill ball carrier with terrific playing speed. Runs with lean and balance and is rarely brought down by the initial defender. Patiently waits for blocks to develop, finds the running lanes and runs through tackles. Follows blocks everywhere around the field, will pick his spots and possesses outstanding vision. Grinds it out on the inside, aggressively drives his shoulders into defenders and picks up a lot of yardage off initial contact. Has a powerful style and does not go down without a fight. Fast and displays the ability to beat defenders into the open field. Productive pass catcher who extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame. Sees the blitz, squares into defenders and shows the ability to remove opponents from the action as a blocker.

Not a creative ball carrier who makes defenders miss. Loses momentum trying to cut back against the grain or change the angle of his of his runs. Possesses more straight-line speed and cannot turn the perimeter. Must be more consistent with his blocking effort.

Hampton is a feature runner who takes over games when in his groove. Best running downhill and between the tackles, he’s also an effective pass catcher out of the backfield and shows a nose for the end zone. Though not a running back for everyone, Hampton will be a productive starter on Sundays in the right system.
Jordan Burch
Oregon
EDGE
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Athletically gifted pass rusher who can be used standing over tackle as well as out of a three-point stance. Plays with excellent pad level, gets leverage on opponents and effectively uses his hands. Immediately changes direction or alters his angle of attack and has the strength to discard blockers to get to the action. Forceful, explosive and makes plays in all directions of the field. Impressive-looking figure on the field who knocks opposing tackles back off the ball. Gets a lot of momentum going up the field and works to make plays as a pass rusher and against the run. Instinctive and plays smart football.

Game has been riddled with inconsistency. Marginally productive as a pass rusher until last season. Has struggled with injury in the past. Disappears for long stretches.

From a size and speed perspective, Burch projects as an early first-round pick and has flashed that type of ability on the field. Yet his streakiness and injury concerns will push him into the second day of the draft. If Burch pulls it together, remains healthy and develops his game, he can be one of the more dominant defensive players from this year's draft. Otherwise, he will continue to disappoint NFL scouts.
Carson Schwesinger
UCLA
LB
Ht: 6-2.5
Wt: 242
Athletic defender who is one of the better off-ball linebackers in this year's draft. Quick in his all-around game, plays through the whistle and never gives up. Easily changes direction, chases plays laterally and is fast to the flanks in pursuit. Covers a tremendous amount of area on the field, makes plays against receivers on the sidelines and moves well in every direction. Quick pedaling in reverse, smooth flipping his hips and shows outstanding awareness in coverage. Explosive hitter who is forceful upfield on the blitz and wraps up tackling. Instinctive and does a nice job quickly locating the ball handler.

Had one year of big production at UCLA and rarely saw the field until last season. Lacks size, gets easily out-positioned by blocks and isn’t a stout defender.

Schwesinger watched his game take off last season when he totaled 136 tackles while breaking up five passes on his way to winning multiple All-American honors. He's a traditional weakside linebacker with the athleticism and instincts to play all three downs, but Schwesinger must add bulk and strength to his game.
Maxwell Hairston
Kentucky
CB
Ht: 6 - 1
Wt: 181
Slightly undersized yet feisty defensive back with solid ball skills. Aggressive, mixes it up with opponents and works to defend passes. Tracks the ball in the air, has a nice move to the throw and displays a sense of timing. Stays downfield with opponents and shows ability in deep man coverage. Quickly reads running plays, fires upfield and possesses a closing burst. Purposely avoided by opponents. Sophomore totals from 2023 included 68 tackles, five interceptions and six PBUs.

Possesses a thin build and loses out to big receivers. Doesn't do a good job exploding to the ball out of his plant and gives up a lot of underneath receptions. Gets turned on occasion. Missed five games with injury last season.

Hairston possesses the skill and attitude to line up in nickel packages either backed off the line of scrimmage or in zone coverage. He's also an experienced special-teams player, which is added value.
Jalen Milroe
Alabama
QB
Ht: 6 - 2
Wt: 220
Physically gifted quarterback who makes plays in or out of the pocket. Athletic and is a legitimate threat to pick up yardage with his legs. Easily escapes the rush, evades defenders and is natural carrying the ball. Keeps his eyes downfield, looks for the open wideout and makes a lot of difficult passes with his strong arm. Remains poised as the pocket collapses around him and drives deep throws with a flick of his wrist. Does an outstanding job commanding as well as controlling the offense and is a leader on the field as well as in the locker room.

Very slow moving his head away from the primary target and not averse to forcing the pass into covered receivers. Streaky, can be way off the mark at times and must improve his corner as well as fade patterns. Seemed to lose a lot of confidence in his passing during the second half of his disappointing 2024 season and performed terribly during Senior Bowl practice and was ineffective during combine workouts.

After a promising 2023 campaign, Milroe looked more like an athlete playing the quarterback position rather than a developing passer. He's a high-character prospect with incredible upside and one of the more physically gifted quarterbacks in this year's draft, yet Milroe will need work from the ground up and must be tutored by an accomplished quarterback coach.
Kaleb Johnson
Iowa
RB
Ht: 6 - 0
Wt: 225
Explosive, game-breaking running back coming off a tremendous campaign. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and has quick feet. Displays a lot of wiggle in his running, makes defenders miss and will pick his way through the trash. Explosive, has a burst and runs with excellent lean. Turns his speed on in a single step and can beat defenders into the open field then run to daylight. Will pick and choose his spots, quickly cuts back against the grain without losing momentum and immediately gets back to balance off the initial hit. Consistent pass catcher out of the backfield who adjusts to the errant throw and gets down to scoop up low passes. Extends to make the reception away from his frame.

Doesn’t pick up a lot of yardage off initial contact despite his size. Average pass-catching production. Turned in just one year of great production.

After starting five games as a sophomore in 2023, Johnson recorded 1,537 yards rushing and 21 TDs last season. He's more than just your average downhill ball carrier out of Iowa, rather he shows a lot of creativity and the ability to improvise. Johnson is also a terrific pass catcher despite paltry receiving statistics and has the size and running skill to develop into a starter on Sundays.
Mason Taylor
LSU
TE
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 256
Terrific pass-catching tight end with an upside. Fluid moving around the field, runs solid routes and quickly gets into breaks then stays low on exit. Tracks the pass in the air, gets vertical and makes the difficult catch in contorted positions. Consistently extends to make the reception away from his frame. Plays with balance as well as body control and makes a lot of athletic or acrobatic receptions. Uses his frame to shield away defenders, looks the pass in and possesses soft as well as strong hands. Stays square as a blocker, plays with strength and holds the point.

Plays to one speed and really doesn't show much of a burst or present himself as a downfield threat.

Taylor is a gifted pass catcher who showed consistent improvement in his game the past three seasons and comes with outstanding bloodlines. Though he’s not a vertical threat at tight end, he's a complete player at the position who can produce catching the ball while holding his own as a blocker during his rookie season.
Donovan Jackson
Ohio State
OG
Ht: 6 - 4
Wt: 320
Three-year starter who is experienced at both guard and left tackle. Sets with a wide base, bends his knees and stays square. Fires into blocks, keeps his feet moving and plays with a nasty attitude. Patient in pass protection, fluid pulling across the line of scrimmage and shows a lot of ability blocking in motion. Easily adjusts to defenders, makes great use of angles as well as body positioning and seals defenders from the action.

Displays average playing strength and really doesn't get much movement run blocking. Overextends into blocks, which results in defenders beating him. Falls asleep on occasion and gets beaten.

After not meeting expectations in 2023, Jackson made the right decision and returned to Ohio State for another season. He was dominating at guard before injuries forced him to kick out to left tackle, where he played surprisingly well. Jackson is a zone-blocking guard for the next level who comes with size, athleticism and upside.
Danny Stutsman
Oklahoma
LB
Ht: 6 - 4
Wt: 243
Tough, run-defending linebacker who is constantly flying around the action. Instinctive, efficient and takes proper angles. Flows well laterally, quickly locates the ball handler and does a great job defending the run. Combined for 213 tackles the past two seasons. Fast in pursuit, displays a closing burst and wraps up tackling. Breaks down well and willingly takes on blockers to allow teammates to get to the ball. Picks up and stays with coverage assignments.

Better making plays up the field or laterally than in reverse. Struggles getting off blocks and gets controlled by a single opponent.

Stutsman was a tough, productive linebacker at Oklahoma the past two years and showed progress in his game. More of a two-down defender, he offers starting potential on the inside of a 3-4 alignment.
Oluwafemi Oladejo
UCLA
LB
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Athletic pass-rushing linebacker whose draft stock has been soaring the past six months. Explosive, fast up the field and has a closing burst. Effectively uses his hands, splits double-team blocks to penetrate the line of scrimmage and plays with a nonstop motor. Shows range pursuing plays out to the sideline. Agile and easily changes direction. Relentless rushing the passer, bends off the edge and can flatten from the back side. Fierce, stays with plays and is rarely off his feet. Shows ability in space and gets depth on pass drops when used off the line of scrimmage.

Needs to get stronger, struggles against the run and will get knocked back off the line of scrimmage. Occasionally comes out of a three-point stance and lacks great first-step quickness. Was a bit streaky at times last season.

Originally starting his college career at California, Oladejo made the successful transition from middle linebacker to edge rusher last season, and after a terrific campaign he turned in three sensational days of Senior Bowl practice. He's smart and instinctive as well as athletic, and he’s a tough defender who plays through the whistle. Oladejo nicely projects as a 3-4 outside linebacker and will be productive early in his NFL career.
Quinshon Judkins
Ohio State
RB
Ht: 5 - 11
Wt: 210
Explosive, violent running back best downhill. Patient, displays vision and runs with authority. Will pick and choose his spots on the inside, keeps his feet moving and breaks tackles to pick up a lot of yardage off initial contact. Quick for a bigger back, gets around the corner and follows blocks everywhere on the field. Bulldozer carrying the ball who rarely gets brought down by the first defender and uses an effective straight arm to keep plays alive. Effectively finds the running lanes all over the field. Solid pass catcher out of the backfield who adjusts to the errant throw and makes the reception with his hands. Possesses outstanding blocking vision and gives effort.

Loses momentum cutting back against the grain or altering the angle of runs. Doesn’t beat defenders into the open field or run to daylight. Best running downhill.

Judkins was a productive back at Ohio State and really came through during the College Football Playoff when everything was on the line. He's a workhorse type of ball carrier who would be perfect for a scheme similar to the one run by the Dallas Cowboys or Pittsburgh Steelers.
Trevor Etienne
Georgia
RB
Ht: 5 - 9
Wt: 205
Slick, creative ball carrier who runs with balance and body control. Easily cuts back against the grain without losing momentum. Incredibly quick, sticks his foot in the ground and immediately changes direction. Slippery, multi-cut ball carrier who possesses terrific footwork, sets defenders up and makes them miss. Runs with excellent lean and behind his pads and has a burst that he turns on in a single step. Gets a lot of momentum going and can be tough to stop. Sensational pass catcher out of the backfield who displays soft as well as strong hands and the ability to pluck the ball from the air. Displays terrific blocking vision.

Not a strong back who picks up yardage off initial contact. Must improve his ball security. Was disappointing and very streaky last season.

After two productive seasons for Florida, Etienne transferred to Georgia and watched his game level off if not move backwards. At the top of his game, he's a creative feature runner who also beats opponents as a pass catcher out of the backfield. Etienne has all the necessary traits to be a No. 1 back, yet he must consistently play at the level he's capable of.
Elic Ayomanor
Stanford
WR
Ht: 6 - 2
Wt: 209
Fluid, surehanded receiver who turned in a pair of incredibly productive seasons for Stanford. Smooth, quickly gets into routes and positions himself to make the reception on exit. Adjusts to the errant throw, gets vertical and plucks the fastball from the air. Effectively uses his frame to shield away defenders or protect the pass. Possesses outstanding eye/hand coordination as well as focus. Fights with his hands to separate from defenders, tracks the pass in the air and extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame. Comes back to the ball out of breaks, makes the reception and turns it upfield after the catch. Plays with balance as well as body control and is usually covered by the opponent's best cornerback while drawing the attention of safeties. Works hard even if he's not involved in the action.

Marginally quick, displays no burst in his game and doesn’t beat defenders down the field. A bit of a long strider. Does not have an expanded route tree.

Ayomanor was the go-to receiver for Stanford who accumulated 125 receptions, 12 TDs and more than 1,800 receiving yards the past two seasons. He possesses a lot of natural receiving skills, but he’s more of a possession or timing wideout and would not fit a vertical offense. Although he does have the ability to develop into a No. 1 receiver, Ayomanor will need time to develop his game and must improve his route running.
Kyle Kennard
South Carolina
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 254
Explosive pass-rush specialist coming off a career season. Fast up the field, bends off the edge and stays within his angle of attack. Keeps his feet moving, works to get off blocks and plays with a nasty streak. Effective out of a three-point stance as well as standing over tackle, possesses an outstanding first step and gets leverage on opponents. Attracts a lot of double-team blocks yet effectively uses his hands to protect himself. Diagnoses plays and does more than rush the passer. Quickly finds the ball handler and gives effort against the run. Incredibly explosive.

Lacks bulk and gets knocked around or engulfed at the point by a single blocker. Does not show great long speed on the field despite timing well at the combine.

After transferring to South Carolina from Georgia Tech last season, Kennard watched his game take off and became one of the more most feared pass rushers in the nation. He possesses a lot of skill, and Kennard will only get better as he improves his strength.
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Boston College
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 2
Wt: 247
Explosive and natural pass rusher who has shown consistent development in his game. Breaks down well and uses his hands to protect himself. Effective rushing the passer standing over tackle. Quick off the snap, bends off the edge then easily flattens and has a closing burst. Relentless and uses his hands to jolt blockers with explosive punch. Smart, stays within the system and quickly locates the ball handler. Gives effort defending the run, slides down the line of scrimmage and is smooth moving to every area of the field. Posted career numbers of 80 tackles, 20.5 TFLs and 16.5 sacks last season.

Lacks true pursuit speed trying to catch the action from the back side. Lacks bulk and is easily out-positioned by larger offensive linemen.

Ezeiruaku is a relentless pass rusher as well as a smart football player and is always looking to make positive plays on the field. He's a natural 3-4 outside linebacker with starting potential, yet he must get bigger and stronger and improve his play moving in reverse.
Cameron Williams
Texas
OT
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 335
Massive right tackle prospect with a huge upside. Athletic for a big man, quickly sets up in pass protection and displays solid range off the edge. Better-than-average ability getting to the second level, redirects to linebackers and seals them from the action. Stays square, is tough to get around and controls defenders once engaged at the point. Starts with good knee bend, keeps his feet moving and is explosive. Correctly places his hands into defenders and drives them off the line.

Displayed a lot of inconsistency in his game last season. Bends at the waist trying to contain edge rushers. Showed an inconsistent base in pass protection. Gave up a horrendous sack to Jack Sawyer of Ohio State late in the semifinal game of the College Football Playoff as Texas was on its way into the end zone. Lacks a big body of work and was just a one-year starter.

Last season saw the tale of two Cameron Williams’ on the field. During the first half of the season, he was a dominant right tackle prospect who showed a lot of athleticism, but he really struggled down the stretch, partly due to a knee injury. He possesses the size and ability to be a dominant starting right tackle in the NFL, yet Williams needs a lot of work on his game and would've benefited from another year on the college level.
Ty Robinson
Nebraska
DT
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Smart, athletic defensive line prospect who does nothing but consistently make positive plays. Fires off the snap with an explosive first step, plays with proper pad level and keeps his feet moving. Explodes through the gaps to penetrate the line of scrimmage and works his hands throughout the action. Strong and relentless. Consistently pursues the action and plays with a nasty attitude. Used all over the line of scrimmage and finds ways to make plays. Possesses deceptive leg drive and the ability to break through double-team blocks. Moves well laterally in pursuit of the action. Effectively diagnoses plays, takes proper angles and has a violent nature in his game. Quick in his all-around game. Easily moves laterally or slides off blocks to make plays against the run.

Lacks great bulk and has a thin build. Not a dominant or overpowering lineman. Marginally effective in space.

Robinson could potentially be the most underrated defender in the draft and is coming off a sensational season where he recorded 12.5 TFLs and seven sacks and defended four passes. He's an athletic prospect who gets the most from his ability and offers scheme versatility as either a one or two-gap lineman. Robinson comes with tremendous upside and will eventually break into a starting lineup on Sundays.
TreVeyon Henderson
Ohio State
RB
Ht: 5 - 10
Wt: 207
Explosive all-around back who has done a tremendous job making his way back from injury. Patient, fast and quick. Sees the field, follows blocks everywhere on the field and shows the speed to run to daylight. Possesses a burst that he turns on in a single step, quickly cuts back against the grain without losing momentum and improvises or creates when plays break down. Bounces around piles or defenders and picks up positive yardage. Runs with balance as well as body control. Quick-footed, will pick and choose his way through traffic and shows the ability to gain difficult yardage. Outstanding pass catcher out of the backfield who consistently extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame. Helps the quarterback sell ball fakes and is effective blocking downfield when called upon.

Was primarily the No. 2 back at Ohio State for most of his career. Suffered a significant foot injury that limited him to eight games in 2022 and a knee injury the following season. Does not time well in the 40 despite showing good playing speed.

Henderson has been a do-it-all skill player at Ohio State as a ball carrier and pass catcher, showing a nose for the big play and the end zone. He's one of the more underrated backs in this draft, and if given a clean bill of health, Henderson can turn out to be one of the best rotational runners to come from this draft.
Demetrius Knight Jr.
South Carolina
LB
Ht: 6-1.5
Wt: 248
Fierce, athletic linebacker who is watching his draft stock take off. Explosive, covers a tremendous amount of area on the field and is fast moving in any direction. Goes sideline to sideline covering a lot of area, quickly gets to the sidelines and shows tremendous ability in pursuit. Fluid moving in reverse, quick flipping his hips in transition and easily changes direction. Flies around the field, nicely redirects to the action and possesses an outstanding closing burst. Explosive hitter who jars opponents.

Lacks height and bulk. Struggles getting off blocks and is easily out-positioned from plays. Overmatched by larger tight ends in coverage.

A well-traveled linebacker who stopped at Georgia Tech and Charlotte before arriving at South Carolina, Knight’s game has been on a straight shot north since September. After a terrific senior campaign, he performed well at the Senior Bowl then looked outstanding during combine workouts. Projecting as a one-gap linebacker, he offers possibilities as a three-down player if he continues to capitalize off 2024.
Damien Martinez
Miami (FL)
RB
Ht: 6 - 0
Wt: 238
Underrated ball carrier with a complete game. Instinctive, displays outstanding vision and follows blocks everywhere on the field. Quick-footed, sets defenders up and makes them miss. Displays the ability to pull off multiple moves in a single run and create yardage. Battering ram on the inside who is powerful and picks up a lot of yardage off initial contact. Shows great contact balance, quickly gets back to running form off the initial hit and will pick his way on the inside. Easily sidesteps piles and keeps runs alive. Terrific pass catcher out of the backfield who displays eye/hand coordination then extends to make the reception away from his frame.

Watched his production fall off last season after sharing time in a loaded Hurricanes backfield. Cannot run to daylight despite being deceptively fast.

Martinez is a powerful, big-bodied ball carrier who can run through tackles or run around defenders. Displaying unusual creativity for a bigger back, he possesses all the tools necessary to be a feature runner on Sundays and will be great value once outside the top 75 selections.
Oronde Gadsden II
Syracuse
WR
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 223
Former receiver who made a successful transition to tight end this season. Runs solid routes, positions himself to make the reception on exit and uses his frame to shield away defenders. Tracks the pass in the air, gets vertical and contorts to come away with the reception. Make a lot of athletic catches or wins out for the contested throw. Natural pass catcher who extends to make the reception away from his frame. Shrine Bowl measurements included arms that were 33 5/8 inches and hands that came in at 9 7/8 inches.

Rarely used as an in-line blocker. Occasionally takes his eyes off the ball, which results in drops. Missed all but two games in 2023 due to injury.

Gadsden was productive at Syracuse two of the three years he was a starter at both receiver and tight end. He's a natural pass catcher with outstanding bloodlines who must begin his career as a move tight end before he transitions into a full-time player at the position. Gadsden possesses outstanding upside, and in time he can be one of the best tight ends to come from this draft.
Jack Sawyer
Ohio State
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 260
Nasty, hard-working pass rusher who gets the most from his ability. Intense, plays through the whistle and gives effort as a pass rusher and as a run defender. Quick out of a three-point stance, plays with excellent pad level and is fluid when asked to twist or stunt. Flows well laterally in pursuit of the action, effectively uses his hands and stays with assignments. Possesses an outstanding shoulder dip rushing the passer, can bend off the edge and attacks opponents.

Does not show great quickness or speed. Possesses average size. Lacks the bulk for defensive end and the speed for linebacker.

After an inconsistent senior campaign, Sawyer was brilliant during the College Football Playoff and helped lead Ohio State to a national championship. He's a tremendous football player, yet he lacks great physical skills for the next level. Sawyer has always found a way to get it done, and defensive coaches in the NFL will love him.
Don’t'e Thornton
Tennessee
WR
Ht: 6-4.5
Wt: 205
Fast-rising receiver with a lot of upside. Legitimate vertical threat who is athletic and plays to his 40 time. Tracks the pass in the air, adjusts to the throw and makes the reception in stride. Possesses soft as well as strong hands and snatches the ball out of the air. Possesses good route discipline, comes back to the ball out of breaks and works to make himself an available target. Shows terrific eye/hand coordination.

Marginally productive and caught just 39 passes the past two seasons. Lacks a quick release off the line of scrimmage. Must improve his footwork in and out of breaks. Ran a shallow route tree at Tennessee.

Despite marginal production, Thornton displayed significant improvement in his game the past two seasons then went on to have a terrific NFL combine. He possesses next-level size and speed, and Thornton is a legitimate vertical threat who averaged 25.4 yards on 26 catches last season. Far from polished, he possesses tremendous upside, and he could be an outstanding starting receiver in a season or two.
Alfred Collins
Texas
EDGE
Ht: 6-5.5
Wt: 319
Large gap-occupying defensive lineman who makes a lot of plays on the football. Plays with great pad level, holds his ground and consistently clogs the running lanes. Fires off the snap with a terrific first step, is powerful in his lower body and overruns double-team blocks to penetrate the line of scrimmage. Effective with his hands, moves well laterally and works hard to get involved in the action. Instinctive and plays with a good degree of intelligence.

Lacks a great first step off the snap. Not super athletic. Average pass rusher.

Collins was a consistent defensive tackle at Texas his first four years with the program before watching his game take off last season. He's a large, somewhat mobile interior lineman with a lot of upside who will eventually break into a starting lineup on Sundays.
Josh Farmer
Florida State
DT
Ht: 6-3
Wt: 305
Explosive and athletic interior defensive lineman who can take over the action. Fires off the snap with a quick first step and plays with outstanding pad level and resilience. Keeps his feet moving, penetrates the line of scrimmage and busts through blocks to make plays in the opponent’s backfield. Has a thick build, shows power in his game and bull rushes blockers off the line. Moves well laterally and flashes the ability to get outside the box to make plays. Moves well around the field and has good change-of-direction skills as well as a closing burst.

Must use his hands better and develop more moves to protect himself or get off blocks. Handled at the point by a single opponent too often.

Farmer showed progress in his game the past three years, and after deciding to enter the draft, he had three terrific days of practice at the Senior Bowl. He's an athletic interior big man with scheme versatility and starting potential.
Dylan Fairchild
Georgia
OG
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Two-year starter who displays a lot of ability blocking in motion. Sinks his butt, starts with terrific knee bend and blocks with leverage. Fires his hands into defenders, stays square and keeps his feet moving in pass protection. Displays outstanding vision, is quick pulling across the line of scrimmage and takes defenders from the action on the move. Explosive at the point, keeps his head on a swivel and works well with linemates.

Lacks power, cannot move defenders off the line and occasionally gets run over. Does not display a strong base.

Fairchild is a versatile interior offensive lineman who saw action at guard and center for Georgia. He's a zone-blocking prospect who must improve his playing strength, yet he comes with an upside and starting potential.
Barrett Carter
Clemson
LB
Ht: 6 - 1
Wt: 230
Explosive run-and-chase linebacker who is best in pursuit. Aggressive, flies around the field and covers a tremendous amount of area. Quickly picks up and stays with coverage assignments, gets depth on pass drops and has enough speed to stay downfield with tight ends and running backs. Instinctive, takes proper angles to the action and is quick getting to plays. Plays to his 40 time if not faster, has a closing burst and stands out in pursuit. Goes hard and works to get involved in the action.

Must improve his ball skills and do a better job getting his head back around to locate the pass in the air. Struggles taking on blocks and gets caught up in the trash.

Carter was a productive three-year linebacker for Clemson who comes with an upside. He's a traditional weakside linebacker prospect who can also play on the inside of a 3-4 where he is allowed to freely run to the ball.
Isaiah Bond
Texas
WR
Ht: 5 - 11
Wt: 182
Thinly built receiver who is quick in all his actions, works his hands to separate from defenders and is effective when he extends to make the reception away from his frame. Immediately gets to top speed, easily changes direction without losing momentum and is creative when the ball is in his hands. Plays to his 40 time and displays a burst of speed as well as a sense of timing.

Erratic with inconsistent pass-catching fundamentals. Occasionally lets the ball get inside him and does not seem like a natural hands catcher. Struggles coming away with the difficult catch. Lacks true deep speed and a second gear. Caught just 99 passes through his three-year college career and had just a single game with 100 receiving yards or more. Must complete his game.

While Bond showed flashes of brilliance, he's still more hype than reality. He offers possibilities as a No. 3 receiver, yet he must improve every aspect of the receiver position and be more consistent.
Dylan Sampson
Tennessee
RB
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
First-year starter who turned in a breakout campaign last season. Keeps his feet moving, follows blocks everywhere on the field and possesses an explosive burst. Plays bigger than his listed size, runs with aggression and drives his shoulders into defenders. Gets a lot of momentum going and can be tough to bring down. Quickly cuts back against the grain or bounces around piles and possesses the agility to turn the corner. Terrific during position drills at the combine.

Shows indecision in his game. Small with limited growth potential. Inconsistent catching the ball out of the backfield.

Sampson watched his game take off last season and finished the year with 1,491 yards rushing and 22 TDs. Over the course of his three-year career at Tennessee, he averaged 5.9 yards on 422 carries. He lacks the size to be anything other than a situational ball carrier, yet his production in 2024 plus the ability he showed during position drills at the combine sets him up nicely to be a third-down back on Sundays.
Deone Walker
Kentucky
DT
Ht: 6 - 6
Wt: 348
Massive, space-eating interior defensive lineman who is agile for a big man, possesses a quick first step and gets a lot of momentum going up field. Quick with his hands, strong in his lower body and showed the ability to knock blockers back off the line. Double and sometimes triple-teamed in the middle of the line yet still gets penetration. Flashes a closing burst as well as pass-rush moves.

Struggled getting off blocks last season and was continually controlled by lesser opponents. First move off the snap is usually straight up, which makes him an easy target for opponents. Watched his production fall off a cliff last season. Looked overweight, out of shape and sloppy during two days of Senior Bowl practice, did very little at the Combine and did not look good during pro-day.

Entering the season, Walker was given high grades by NFL scouts and was believed to be a surefire first-round pick. Previously displaying himself as a big-bodied defensive tackle who could make plays on the ball, Walker seemed to lose his mojo last season and really did not make much of an impact. His draft stock has taken a big hit, and Walker must return to the form he showed in 2023 if he wants a career in the NFL.
Barryn Sorrell
Texas
EDGE
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Athletic defensive end prospect who gives effort in all areas of the game. Quick off the snap, works his hands and keeps his feet moving. Displays underrated strength and the ability to knock offensive tackles off the ball. Bends his knees, plays with terrific pad level and displays a variety of moves getting off blocks. Slides down the line of scrimmage then shoots through the gaps to make plays against the run. Plays like a good athlete. Tough, smart and stays with the action.

Lacks top size as well as bulk and gets out-positioned by opponents. Not quick closing to the action. Just an average pass rusher.

Though not a defender who made a lot of plays off the edge, Sorrell was consistently productive for Texas and does the little things well. He possesses the size of a linebacker, yet his playing style screams one-gap defensive end.
Billy Bowman
Oklahoma
S
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Athletic safety who effectively reads and diagnoses plays, keeps the action in front of him and plays heads-up football. Patient and disciplined but also chases the action hard. Tracks the pass in the air, moves well laterally and possesses good hands for the interception. Picks up coverage assignments and displays good range and a nice move to the throw. Fires up the field defending the run and wraps up tackling.

Lacks classic safety height. Not a surehanded tackler. Watched his production fall off significantly last season.

After a junior campaign in which he intercepted six passes and collected 63 tackles, Bowman watched his play fall off last year. He rebounded with an outstanding combine workout and possesses the physical skills and football acumen to be a true center fielder on Sundays.
Dorian Strong
Virginia Tech
CB
Ht: 6 - 1
Wt: 185
Nice-sized cornerback with next-level ball skills. Flips his hips in transition, sticks with opponents around the field and has a burst to the ball out of his plant. Tracks the pass in the air, displays a nice move to the throw and competes to break up passes. Physically beats down receivers and consistently positions himself to make the interception. Stays with assignments in zone and does a solid job covering receivers on crossing patterns. Aggressively goes after opponents defending the run and wraps up tackling.

Occasionally struggles staying on the receiver’s hip out of breaks. Must improve his playing balance.

Strong has shown consistent improvement in his play and recorded five interceptions and 19 PBUs the past two seasons. He possesses the size to play on Sundays and offers potential in either man or zone coverage.
Princely Umanmielen
Ole Miss
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 256
Explosive and athletic pass rusher with the ability to take over games when motivated. Easily changes direction, displays speed moving to every area of the field and has a closing burst in a straight line as well as laterally. Breaks down well and plays with leverage. Bends off the edge then flattens to catch plays in backside pursuit. Stands over tackle as well as coming out of a three-point stance, fires off the snap and consistently plays with leverage. Fast up the field, gives effort against the run and is rarely off his feet. Stays with assignments. Posted 13.5 TFLs and 10.5 sacks last season.

Had a tendency to disappear for stretches and does not always play with maximum intensity. Possesses a thin build, lacks strength in his game and is easily ridden from his angle of attack or sealed from plays.

Umanmielen combines impressive athleticism with explosion and pass-rushing skill to impact games when focused on the task at hand. He possesses a great amount of upside, yet he must apply himself on every snap. He can turn into one of the steals from the second day of the draft, or Umanmielen may continue to just tease scouts and not reach his maximum potential.
Terrance Ferguson
Oregon
TE
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 255
Two-year starter effective as a blocker and intermediate pass catcher. Bends his knees as a blocker, stays square and is explosive at the point. Keeps his feet moving and has the strength to turn defenders from the action. Remains disciplined with blocking assignments and works to finish off opponents. Solid pass protector. Quickly releases off the line of scrimmage into pass routes, uses his large frame to shield away defenders and extends his hands to snatch the ball away from his frame. Plays heads-up football, shows excellent blocking vision and becomes the hot receiver when necessary. Possesses soft as well as strong hands and plucks the ball from the air.

One-speed tight end who will not beat defenders in a foot race. Does not play like a top athlete. Shows some stiffness in his game.

Ferguson was a terrific tight end for Oregon and is a disciplined player who does the little things well. He possesses excellent size, yet the lack of speed and sheer athleticism lends me to believe he is best as a second tight end in the NFL.
Jeffrey Bassa
Oregon
LB
Ht: 6 - 2
Wt: 230
Fierce, instinctive linebacker who is best defending the run. Smooth, fluid and fast moving in any direction. Breaks down well, flows laterally to the action and quickly locates the ball handler. Plays with a nasty attitude, attacks assignments and sells out to make the tackle. Explodes up field to make plays against the run. Fluid flipping his hips and changing direction, quick in lateral pursuit and possesses a closing burst. Makes the defensive calls and remains disciplined.

Struggles in coverage and is slow getting his head back around tracking the pass. Undersized and lacks growth potential.

Bassa was an outstanding leader on the Oregon defense who showed consistent improvement in his game. He's a run-and-chase linebacker who would fit nicely on the inside of a 3-4 system, though he must improve his skills in coverage to be a three-down defender.
Jordan Phillips
Maryland
DT
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Underrated defensive tackle who can be used in either a one-gap or two-gap scheme. Bends his knees, plays with great pad level and consistently gets leverage on opponents. Powerful, explosive and holds his ground while displaying the ability to stand up blockers. Takes on double-team blocks, clogs the middle of the line and allows teammates to make plays on the ball. Displays a solid spin move, has good change-of-direction skills and effectively uses his hands to protect himself. Powerful in his lower body and bull rushes opponents to collapse the pocket. Gets off the snap with an explosive first step and knocks opponents back off the line.

Must develop more moves with his hands. Turned in average production last year and was not much of a pass rusher.

Phillips was a dynamo in the middle of the Maryland defensive line the past two years, and despite poor production, he displayed himself as a playmaker during Shrine Bowl practice. He offers potential as a nose tackle and conventional defensive tackle and may even be able to line up and in certain three-man fronts. Phillips comes with tremendous upside and starting potential for the next level.
Andrew Mukuba
Texas
S
Ht: 6 - 0
Wt: 195
Consistent collegiate safety who improved his game last season after transferring to Texas from Clemson. Displays outstanding ball skills patrolling the middle of the field. Displays a nice move to the throw and possesses terrific hands for the interception. Effectively covers opponents on crossing patterns, stays on the receiver’s hip out of breaks and remains disciplined with assignments. Occasionally lines up over the slot receiver, mixes it up with opponents and displays the ability to get his head back around to track the pass in the air. Intercepted five passes last season and broke up 11. Aggressive, fires up the field to defend the run and drives his shoulders into ball handlers. Wraps up ball handlers and brings them down in the open field.

Must improve the consistency of his backpedal. Possesses a thin build and short arms. Must do a better job recognizing routes in zone coverage.

Mukuba was productive out of the gate for Clemson then really showed a complete game last season. He must add strength to his game, yet he offers possibilities at the next level as a free safety, zone safety or nickel safety that can lines up over the slot receiver.
Tate Ratledge
Georgia
OG
Ht: 6 - 6
Wt: 320
Large and powerful interior offensive lineman who blocks with a nasty attitude. Keeps his head on a swivel, works well with linemates and hits as many defenders as possible each snap. Strong, fires into blocks and turns defenders from their angles of attack. Stays square in pass protection and anchors at the point. Quick to the second level and displays skill blocking in motion.

Gets narrow-based in his setup. Must be more cognizant of his hand placement. Struggles adjusting.

Ratledge is a large, nasty and hard-working blocker with potential in a variety of next-level schemes. He must refine his mechanics and loosen up, but he has starting potential.
Zy Alexander
LSU
CB
Ht: 6-1
Wt: 190
Southeastern Louisiana transfer who displayed a lot of progress in his game the past two seasons. Engages receivers at the line of scrimmage, quickly flips his hips and stays downfield with opponents. Works to get his head back around, tracks the pass in the air and possesses good hands for the interception. Displays an explosive break to the ball out of his plant, plays with a vicious nature and physically beats down opponents to defend passes. Mixes it up with receivers throughout the route, stays on their hip and has a solid move to the throw. Shows ability in zone coverage or backed off the line of scrimmage.

Gets twisted and off balance trying to follow receivers out of breaks. Guesses wrong at the line of scrimmage, which puts him a half-step behind receivers.

Alexander was productive the two seasons he played for LSU and possesses the size and speed to make an NFL roster. He comes with scheme versatility as well as a lot of upside, and his best football is ahead of him.
Bhayshul Tuten
Virginia Tech
RB
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Explosive ball carrier with the strength to run on the inside and the speed to turn the corner. Patient, quick-footed and has a terrific stutter step. Possesses a burst, beats defenders into the open field and can run to daylight. Quickly cuts back against the grain without losing momentum, will picks his spots on the inside and possesses outstanding vision. Finds the running lanes, uses his blocks everywhere on the field and keeps his feet moving. Strong and rarely brought down by the first defender. Experienced kick returner.

Short, which could be a problem for some teams. Struggled with an ankle injury most of 2024. Isn’t a great perimeter ball carrier despite his speed.

Tuten was productive during the four years he played on the college field, initially at North Carolina A&T then Virginia Tech. He's one of the more underrated ball carriers in this year's draft and will be a terrific situational player on Sundays and a Day 3 steal.
Ashton Gillotte
Louisville
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 3
Wt: 275
Explosive one-gap defensive lineman who fires off the snap with a tremendous first step and consistently penetrates the line of scrimmage to make plays in the backfield. Aggressive, plays with a violent nature and possesses a burst moving in any direction. Fast laterally and shows speed in pursuit and the ability to get outside the box to make plays in space. Easily changes direction, shows resilience and goes hard. Strong in his lower body and knocks offensive tackles off the line of scrimmage.

Lacks bulk and gets engulfed at the point by a single opponent. Sack totals were reduced by almost a third last season while he produced fewer tackles and TFLs.

Gillotte is a hard-working and explosive defensive lineman with average size and growth potential. After totaling 11 sacks as well as 14.5 tackles for loss as a junior, he failed to meet expectations last season, yet he’s still a solid next-level prospect. He offers potential as an end in a four-man line and will also get consideration as a three-technique tackle.
Cody Simon
Ohio State
LB
Ht: 6-2
Wt: 229
Underrated off-ball linebacker who does a little bit of everything extremely well. Breaks down well, uses his hands to protect himself and is incredibly instinctive. Efficient, immediately diagnoses plays and always takes proper angles to plays. Flows well laterally, possesses a closing burst and wraps up tackling. Explodes through the gaps to defend the run, shows a lot of ability in coverage and remains disciplined with assignments. Terrific special-teams player who gives effort on coverage units.

Lacks size, gets handled by tight ends and struggles getting off blocks. Not a stout linebacker.

On a defense full of stars, Simon was one of the most consistent players for Ohio State last season. Though not the biggest, he is efficient and proficient in every aspect of the game and offers scheme versatility at the next level. Don't be surprised if Simon develops into one of the better three-down linebackers from this draft.
Charles Grant
William & Mary
OT
Ht: 6 - 3
Wt: 291
Athletically gifted small-school blocker who offers potential at multiple offensive line positions. Patient, keeps his feet moving and shows great range off the edge in pass protection. Blocks with excellent lean and proper fundamentals and consistently gets leverage on opponents. Works his hands throughout the action, keeps his head on a swivel and easily slides off the edge. Quick to the second level, effective blocking in motion and easily adjusts or redirects. Occasionally lines up as an H-back, gets put in motion pulling across the line of scrimmage and obliterates opponents.

Must improve his blocking strength, as he rarely finishes off opponents. Small and reportedly played at 285 pounds last season. Could do a better job sinking his butt at the line of scrimmage.

Grant received high grades from NFL scouts entering the season, as he's an athletic college tackle who can play guard or center at the next level. He must get bigger and stronger, yet he possesses the tools necessary to line up in a zone-blocking scheme.
Jordan James
Oregon
RB
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Explosive running back who has shown consistent development the past three seasons and took his game to another level last year. Possesses a strong build, gets a lot of momentum going and is tough to bring down. Keeps the play in bounds, runs with a compact style and squeezes through the small creases of the offensive line. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and displays a burst through the hole. Possesses outstanding vision, will pick or choose his spots and runs with balance as well as body control. Runs hard on the inside, has a pounding style and rarely goes down on initial contact. Outstanding pass catcher who often lines up on the flanks. Tracks the pass in the air, adjusts to the throw and extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame.

Not a true perimeter runner and doesn't display the lateral speed necessary to get around the outside. Not a big-bodied back who will move the pile despite his style of play on the college level.

Jordan was an outstanding all-around running back for Oregon the past two seasons as a ball carrier and pass catcher. He possesses the skill and traits necessary for the next level and can be an exceptional third-down back/situational runner.
Tai Felton
Maryland
WR
Ht: 6 - 2
Wt: 185
Explosive and productive gamebreaker at receiver whose draft stock is soaring. Athletic, runs sharp routes and separates from defenders. Quickly gets in and out of breaks, stays low on exit and positions himself to make the reception. Adjusts to the errant throw, makes the reception in stride and possesses soft as well as strong hands to snatch the ball from the air. Tracks the pass in the air, times receptions and makes the difficult over-the-shoulder reception at full speed. Plays with balance as well as body control, knows where he is on the field and uses the sidelines well. Settles into the open spot on the field then extends and exposes himself to the big hit to come away with the reception. Quick-footed with the ability to create yardage when the ball is in his hands.

Lacks a true second gear despite his speed. Not a stout receiver. Arms measured 30 1/2 inches with 8 7/8-inch hands at the Senior Bowl.

Felton is a legitimate vertical receiver who doubled his pass-catching numbers last season, totaling 96 receptions for 1,124 yards and nine TDs. He is an underrated prospect who has the athleticism and pass-catching skills necessary to develop into a No. 3 receiver on Sundays.
Denzel Burke
Ohio State
CB
Ht: 6 - 1
Wt: 190
Athletic cornerback with nice size. Quick-footed, has an explosive burst to the ball out of his plant and shows the ability to stay on the receiver’s hip out of breaks. Effective facing the action, remains disciplined with assignments and keeps opponents in front of him. Strong, fast and flashes on the scene. Gives effort defending run plays and screen throws. Wraps up tackling and brings larger opponents down in the open field.

Bites on receivers’ moves and gets twisted and beaten too often. Guesses wrong on too many occasions. Inconsistent in his game.

Burke looks like a legitimate shutdown cornerback at the top of his game, but his inconsistencies are a major red flag. He showed little improvement last season and really needs to be coached up to have a consistent and productive career in the NFL.
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Georgia
EDGE
Ht: 6-5
Wt: 278
Former reserve lineman who moved in with the starting unit last season and had a career campaign. Quick, explosive and displays a variety of moves to protect himself. Easily redirects to the action or immediately alters his angle of attack, possesses a closing burst and consistently plays with leverage. Athletic, moves well around the field and makes plays in any direction.

Handled at the point by a single blocker and even gets taken from the action by tight ends. Posted one productive season, totaling 17 tackles, eight TFLs and three sacks.

After sitting on the bench for most of his Georgia career, Ingram-Dawkins broke into the starting lineup last season and showed a lot of ability. He possesses next-level size and athleticism and has an upside, yet he must get bigger and stronger and complete his game to consistently see the field on Sundays.
Kobe King
Penn State
LB
Ht: 6-1
Wt: 236
Athletic three-down linebacker who consistently makes positive plays. Fast moving in every direction, displays ability in pursuit and gets depth on pass drops. Keeps the action in front of him, takes proper angles and plays heads-up football. Breaks down well, stays with assignments and uses his hands effectively. Remains disciplined, makes the defensive calls and gets his teammates in proper position. Strong tackler who sells out to defend the run.

Possesses average size and lacks growth potential. Production and ability in coverage is minimal.

King was a terrific middle linebacker at Penn State who showed ability up field and in pursuit. He's a two-down defender who must improve his play against the pass before he’ll start on Sundays.
Jah Joyner
Minnesota
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 5
Wt: 265
Undersized but athletic pass rusher who is quick, explosive and moves well around the field. Easily changes direction or immediately alters his angle of attack and moves well. Displays outstanding hand technique, plays with leverage and works hard as a pass rusher or defending the run. Rarely off his feet, possesses a closing burst and plays bigger than his listed size.

Lacks bulk and is easily ridden from his angle of attack or controlled in one-on-one blocking situations. Average production on the college level. Coming off a disappointing, injury-plagued campaign.

Scouts expected Joyner to take off last season after showing flashes as a junior in 2023, yet he was held back by injury. He's an athletic one-gap pass rusher with potential standing over tackle or coming out of a three-point stance. Very likely a Day 3 pick, Joyner possesses a large upside and could be a terrific situational pass rusher on Sundays if he stays healthy, adds bulk and strength to his frame and improves his game.
R.J. Mickens
Clemson
S
Ht: 6-0
Wt: 199
Nice-sized safety who showed tremendous improvement in his game last season. Keeps the action in front of him, has good instincts and effectively times pass defenses. Immediately picks up coverage assignments in the middle of the field and displays solid ball skills. Plays faster than his 40 time and covers a lot of area on the field. Takes proper angles to the action, quick to the sidelines and flies around the action. Occasionally used over the slot receiver, stays on the receiver’s hip out of breaks and has a nice move to the throw. Fluid, easily changes direction and displays excellent movement skills. Tough run defender and wraps up tackling.

Does not time well in the 40. Turned in average production until last season. May not have enough speed to be a true center fielder on Sundays.

Mickens is a terrific football player who comes off a career season where he totaled 75 tackles and broke up nine passes. He's an underrated prospect who should be effective in a zone system.
Tre Harris
Mississippi
WR
Ht: 6-2
Wt: 208
Consistent pass catcher who has shown a developing game the past two seasons. Tracks the pass in the air, extends his hands and makes the reception in stride. Gets vertical and extends or exposes himself to the big hit and consistently catches the ball away from his frame. Comes back to the ball to make himself an available target, is strong running after the catch and breaks tackles to pick up yardage off initial contact. Well-built and uses his frame to shield away defenders.

Plays to one speed, doesn’t outrun defensive backs and plays like a slower possession receiver. Must improve his route running. Struggled with injuries in the past.

Harris possesses the size and pass-catching skill to be a possession wideout, yet he may never be anything other than a fourth receiver on the depth chart despite all the hype.
Smael Mondon Jr.
Georgia
LB
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Undersized yet explosive linebacker with terrific instincts. Quickly diagnoses plays, stays with assignments and flows laterally to the action. Covers a lot of area on the field, shows speed in pursuit and displays terrific sideline-to-sideline range. Cuts off the corners from ball carriers, gets into space to make the tackle and flies around the football. Fires upfield filling gaps and runs down ball handlers from the back side. Makes the defensive calls and gets teammates in proper position.

Not big or super fast for a smaller linebacker. Watched his production drop off the past three years. Totaled just one interception during his four years at Georgia.

Mondon is an undersized run-and-chase linebacker who gets the most from his ability and plays heady football. He lacks great upside, yet he could be an invaluable nickel linebacker, but he must improve his skill in coverage.
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Kentucky
LB
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Tough, punch-you-in-the-face type of linebacker who is best defending the run. Explosive, fires upfield and runs through blocks to make plays. Quickly recognizes the action, immediately picks up assignments and stays with the play. Strong, breaks down well and flows laterally to the action. Stands up blockers, gets to the action and wraps up tackling. Plays heads-up football, works hard and has a violent nature to his game.

Slow flipping his hips in transition and does not get great depth on pass drops. Not fluid pedaling in reverse.

After an injury-riddled season at Georgia in 2023, Dumas-Johnson transferred to Kentucky and turned in an outstanding campaign. He's a natural two-down, run-defending linebacker who will be underdrafted in April, yet I fully expect Dumas-Johnson to be productive immediately as a rookie.
Kyle McCord
Syracuse
QB
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Ohio State transfer coming off a tremendous campaign. Possesses a next-level build, an NFL arm and makes all the throws. Patient in the pocket, keeps his eyes downfield and challenges the vertical game. Easily gets outside the pocket to make the throw on the move and loses no speed on passes. Delivers the ball with a fluid over-the-top delivery, puts touch on throws when necessary and has a quick release. Put speed on all his passes, drives the deep throw and makes a lot of difficult passes due to his arm strength. Flashes the ability to accurately drop the ball between defenders into the receiver’s hands.

Does not sense backside pressure. Has always been slow moving his head off the primary target. Passes tend to get away from him and are often high of the mark.

After a disappointing campaign for Ohio State in 2023, McCord came back and played incredibly well at Syracuse last season, throwing for 4,779 yards with 34 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He possesses all the physical skills to start on Sundays and comes with a large upside, yet McCord must be quicker going through progressions as well as improve his pass placement.
Josaiah Stewart
Michigan
EDGE
Ht: 6 - 1
Wt: 245
Undersized but productive pass rusher who plays with a violent attitude. Plays with great leverage as well as balance, shows explosiveness off the edge and is fast up the field. Consistently gets leverage on offensive tackles, immediately alters his angle of attack and shows a lot of natural pass-rushing skill. Uses his hands well, nicely redirects to the action and shows speed in backside pursuit. Plays faster than his 40 time. Patient and quickly locates the ball handler. Slides down the line of scrimmage and gives effort against the run. Shows a nice shoulder dip that allows him to bend off the edge and get underneath blockers. Was dominant at times during Senior Bowl practices in January.

Lacks natural bulk and is easily out-positioned from the action by a single blocker. Primarily used up the field and rarely asked to make plays in space. Production has not been overwhelming the past two years.

Despite not being a headliner on the Michigan defense, Stuart was a productive and disruptive pass rusher the past two seasons. His funky measurables will turn some teams off, yet Stewart will be a terrific Day 3 selection as a situational pass rusher/special-teams player.
Harold Fannin Jr.
Bowling Green
TE
Ht: 6 - 4
Wt: 230
Record-setting tight end coming off a career campaign. Fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage and possesses outstanding eye/hand coordination as well as a sense of timing. Nicely makes the reception on crossing patterns or running laterally, adjusts to the errant throw and makes the catch in contorted positions. Displays excellent route discipline, consistently extends to make the reception away from his frame and possesses soft hands. Very smooth, sneaks downfield and tracks the deep pass in the air. Can be used all over the place as a receiver, lining up as a traditional tight end or as an H-back. Caught 117 passes last season for 1,555 yards, including 11 passes for 137 yards against Penn State and eight catches for 145 yards against Texas A&M.

Not a big or bulky tight end. Rarely used as a blocker and marginally effective in that area, though not due to lack of effort. Plays to one speed and does not show a burst in his game.

After a solid sophomore campaign in 2023 when scouts took notice of his ability, Fannin lit the world on fire last season and was Bowling Green’s go-to receiver that opponents could not stop. He's a traditional move tight end and a natural pass catcher who does have speed and blocking limitations. Fannin comes with an upside, yet he must complete his game before he'll ever be a No. 1 tight end on Sundays.
Carson Bruener
Washington
LB
Ht: 6-1
Wt: 235
Productive four-year linebacker who flies around the football field. Instinctive, remains disciplined with assignments and does not bite on ball fakes. Plays heads-up football, works hard in all aspects and displays himself as a playmaker. Flows well laterally, quickly locates the ball handler and makes the play in space. Has the uncanny ability of diagnosing plays before they unfold. Effectively uses his hands to protect himself, gets depth on pass drops and chases the action hard. Explosive, plays faster than his 40 time and has a closing burst.

Undersized and does not have much growth potential. Shows ability in zone coverage yet struggles in man situations.

Despite poor height and weight, Bruener plays big, tough football with a high level of intelligence. Measurables will push him into the third day of the draft, yet he has enough skill and athleticism to make a roster as a fifth linebacker.
Jack Nelson
Wisconsin
OT
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Large, durable college left tackle who projects to the right side on Sundays. Quickly gets into blocks, keeps his feet moving and makes excellent use of angles in pass protection. Stays square, anchors at the point and seals defenders from the action. Strong run blocker who turns defenders off the line to remove them from plays. Very effective with his hands. Keeps his feet moving, shows terrific vision and keeps his head on a swivel. Jolts defenders with explosive hand punch.

Lacks agility and bends at the waist. Struggles with his footwork in pass protection.

Nelson was a terrific offensive lineman at Wisconsin, though he never truly improved his game the way I thought possible. He possesses size, growth potential and the attitude necessary to develop into a starter at right tackle.
Lathan Ransom
Ohio State
S
Ht: 6-0
Wt: 208
Athletic safety with excellent size and upside potential. Instinctive, remains disciplined with assignments and quickly diagnoses plays. Take proper angles to the action, covers a good amount of area on the field and possesses a closing burst. Devastating hitter who drives his shoulder pads into the ball carrier and plays aggressive football. Engages receivers at the line of scrimmage in man coverage, battles throughout the route and stays on the opponent’s hip out of breaks. Displays a closing burst in a straight line as well as laterally.

Best facing the action and struggles in man coverage. Showed a lot of inconsistency in his game after a terrific sophomore season.

Ransom possesses the size, speed and football ability to be a starting center fielder in the NFL if he elevates his game. He offers potential in a number of schemes, but he must consistently play at a high level to have a next-level career.
Warren Brinson
Georgia
DT
Ht: 6-4.5
Wt: 309
Explosive defensive tackle with excellent size who showed progress in his game the past two years. Strong, quick and fires off the snap. Discard blockers to penetrate the line of scrimmage, effectively uses his hands and keeps his feet moving. Plays with proper pad level and collects a lot of double-team blocks yet holds his ground. Fluid sliding down the line of scrimmage and gives effort defending the run.

Does not show a lot of pass-rushing ability. More of a gap occupier than a playmaker. Lacks natural bulk and gets out-positioned from the action by a single blocker.

Brinson continually improved his game over the course of the past two seasons then stood out during Shrine Bowl practice and was one of the better defensive linemen in attendance. He's a long defender with next-level athleticism as well as growth potential and the ability to line up in a variety of schemes.
Quincy Riley
Louisville
CB
Ht: 6 - 0
Wt: 195
Feisty cornerback who flashes ball skills. Engages receivers at the line of scrimmage, tracks the pass in the air and has a nice break to the throw. Aggressive, battles opponents throughout the route and works to get his head back around in man coverage. Displays good hands for the interception. Effective when backed off the line of scrimmage and shows a burst to the ball out of his plant. Plays to his 40 time if not faster.

Slow reacting to receivers’ moves off the line and is consistently a half-step behind opponents. Late recognizing routes in zone coverage. Undersized and easily blocked from the action.

Riley is highly considered in many areas of the scouting community and has shown flashes of next-level ability the past three years. He lacks size as well as consistency, but he has enough ability to line up as a dime back on Sundays who can also help out returning punts.
Tyler Shough
Louisville
QB
Ht: 6-4.5
Wt: 230
Well-traveled quarterback coming off a terrific season. Possesses outstanding size and a next-level arm and withstands the rush. Patient and poised in the pocket, natural looking off the safety and displays pocket presence. Sees the field, senses the rush and avoids defenders. Goes through progressions, does not force the ball into covered targets and takes the safe underneath outlet when nothing else is available. Throws with an over-the-top delivery and makes a lot of difficult passes thanks to his arm strength. Drives deep throws with speed and flashes impressive accuracy, placing the ball where only his receiver can come away with the catch. Does not force the ball into covered targets. Takes off upfield only when necessary.

Often late delivering passes, which gives defenders a chance to make the play on the ball. Overaged and a seventh-year senior. Had a lot of problems with injury and inconsistency in the past.

At one time considered a potential franchise quarterback prospect, Shough transferred out of Oregon after an outstanding campaign in 2020 only to struggle the next three seasons for Texas Tech. He pulled it altogether last year at Louisville and really built upon the skills he showed early in his college career. Shough is as good as he's going to get, yet the size, arm strength and field vision he showed last season is very attractive.
Kyren Lacy
LSU
WR
Ht: 6-1.5
Wt: 212
Talented pass catcher coming off a career season. Knows where he is on the football field and plays with balance as well as body control. Sells routes, fires into breaks and tracks the pass in the air. Displays a sense of timing and eye/hand coordination and easily adjusts to the errant throw or gets down to scoop up low passes. Explosive, possesses soft as well as strong hands and gets vertical to high point passes over defenders. Displays excellent route discipline, comes back across the middle of the field to make himself an available target and makes the reception in stride.

Lacks the second gear and isn’t a vertical receiver. Posted just one year of great production. Arrested in January on multiple charges related to a December 2024 automobile accident. Accused of causing a crash that killed a 78-year-old man then fleeing the scene without calling authorities.

Lacy watched his game take off last season and was the go-to receiver opponents could not stop. He possesses the ability to be a No. 2 wideout on Sundays, yet pending legal matters will dictate his draft positioning and future at the next level.
Tez Johnson
Oregon
WR
Ht: 5 - 10
Wt: 161
Undersized but explosive receiver with game-breaking ability. Quick in all his actions, has a burst of speed and effectively catches the ball down the field on crossing patterns. Sells routes, quickly gets into breaks and consistently separates from defenders. Has a burst that he turns on in a single step, plays faster than his 40 time and does an outstanding job tracking the pass in the air. Effectively times receptions, possesses eye/hand coordination and easily adjusts to the errant throw. Dangerous after the catch.

Does not consistently snatch the ball away from his frame and cradles it against his body to secure the reception. Possesses a slight build and will struggle in press coverage.

Johnson was an explosive receiver for Oregon after transferring from Troy and was incredibly productive the past two seasons. Totaling 169 receptions for 2,080 yards and 20 TDs since 2023, he is a threat to score any time the ball is in his hands. He comes with limited size and marginal growth potential, yet he fits a vertical offense and can double as a return specialist.
LeQuint Allen
Syracuse
RB
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Strong downhill ball carrier who is also an outstanding pass catcher out of the backfield. Patient, gritty and tough. Displays outstanding vision, will pick his spots on the inside and keeps his feet moving. Does not go down on the initial hit, picks up a lot of yardage off initial contact and falls forward when tackled. Quickly finds the running lanes, has a burst and uses a quick jump step that deceives defenders. Catches the ball like a receiver, tracks the pass in the air and adjusts or contorts to make the reception with his hands. Rushed for more than 1,000 yards each of the past two seasons and accounted for 25 TDs on the ground. Receiving totals last year included 64 catches for 521 yards and four TDs.

Ineffective trying to turn the perimeter. Doesn’t improvise when plays break down. Plays to one speed.

Allen is a hard-charging, between-the-tackles ball carrier who is also a legitimate threat catching the ball. He possesses the ability to be a No. 1 running back on Sundays, and at the very least his pass-catching skill sets him up perfectly to be a rotational ball handler.
Malachi Moore
Alabama
S
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Underrated safety with a well-rounded game. Instinctive, quickly diagnoses plays and does an outstanding job with coverage assignments between the numbers. Consistently positions himself to make a play against the pass, tracks the ball in the air and has a nice move to the throw. Works well with cornerbacks to bracket receivers, possesses solid ball skills and has outstanding hands for the interception. Terrific run defender who fires up the field and aggressively goes after ball handlers, causing fumbles.

Does not play athletic football. Really does not show great speed on the field.

Moore was consistently productive the past three seasons, displaying progress in his game each year. Though he may never be a true center fielder, he offers ability in zone coverage and possesses enough skill to line up over the slot receiver.
Ja'Corey Brooks
Louisville
WR
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Tall, surehanded receiver coming off a career season. Quickly releases off the line of scrimmage, immediately gets to top speed and does a great job tracking the pass in the air. Comes back into the clearing or across the field to make himself an available target, gets vertical and adjusts or contorts to come away with the difficult catch. Displays eye/hand coordination as well as focus and consistently makes the reception away from his frame. Sells routes, is on the same page as his quarterback and possesses soft hands. Uses his frame to shield away defenders and plucks the ball from the air.

One-speed receiver who lacks the second gear. Cannot run to the deep throw. Turned in just one year of big production.

After totaling 57 receptions over three years at Alabama, Brooks transferred to Louisville and totaled 61 receptions, 1,013 yards and nine TDs last season. He's a solid possession wideout with consistent hands as well as a sense of timing and would be a good fit in a West Coast offense.
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Auburn
WR
Ht: 6-0.5
Wt: 185
Consistent receiver with solid size as well as speed. Stays low exiting breaks and positions himself to make the reception. Tracks the pass in the air and extends his hands to make the catch away from his frame. Adjusts to the errant throw and takes a big hit yet holds onto the ball. Lays out for the difficult reception and looks the pass into his hands. Possesses eye/hand coordination as well as focus and nicely times receptions.

Despite running the forty in 4.37 seconds at the Combine, does not translate that speed onto the field and isn’t a vertical threat. Must improve his route running.

Lambert-Smith was productive the past two seasons, and after transferring to Auburn from Penn State, he really watched his game take off. He's a surehanded wideout who must improve his route running, but he has enough ability to make a roster as a fifth receiver.
Thomas Fidone
Nebraska
TE
Ht: 6-4.5
Wt: 241
Underrated tight end with a large upside. Fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage, sells routes and tracks the pass in the air. Displays terrific eye/hand coordination as well as a sense of timing, gets vertical in a crowd and extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame. Uses his large frame to shield away defenders or protect the pass and consistently wins out for the contested throw. Nicely adjusts or contorts and displays strong hands. Quickly gets into routes, stays low on exit and makes the reception on crossing patterns. Fires off the snap into blocks, stays square and gives effort blocking everywhere on the field. Senior Bowl measurements included 34-inch arms and hands that were 10 3/4 inches.

Must improve his blocking strength. Tends to gather himself into routes. Not a downfield threat.

Fidone showed terrific progress in his game the past two seasons and is one of the more underrated tight ends in this draft. After leaving Nebraska because he was not a good fit for their offense, he'll need a bit of work on his blocking and route running, yet Fidone is a natural pass catcher who could eventually develop into a productive tight end on Sundays.
Jo'Quavious Marks
USC
RB
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Mississippi State transfer who has consistently displayed himself as a versatile three-down back. Quick-footed, displays outstanding vision and effortlessly bounces around piles or defenders. Patient, finds the running lanes and has a burst through the hole. Uses his blocks everywhere on the field, runs with outstanding balance and will pick and choose his spots on the inside. Plays with excellent speed and is much faster than his 40 time. Multi-cut ball carrier who easily changes direction without losing momentum. Solid pass catcher out of the backfield who makes the reception with his hands.

Lacks the speed necessary to run to daylight. Not a power back who breaks a lot of tackles despite his size. Will be 25 years old this season.

Marks was consistently productive throughout his college career and turned in a career campaign with the Trojans last season that included 1,133 yards rushing and nine TDs. He's a versatile back who can be a nice situational runner or third-down player on Sundays.
Tommi Hill
Nebraska
CB
Ht: 6-0.5
Wt: 210
Nice-sized cornerback who flashed the ability to shut down opponents in the past. Quick and fluid pedaling in reverse, flips his hips in transition and mixes it up with receivers throughout the route. Battles opponents, tracks the pass in the air and nicely times pass defenses. Instinctive, quick diagnosing plays and shows a burst to the ball out of his plant. Gives effort against the run and wraps up tackling.

Does not always take proper angles to the action. Struggled with injury last season and played in just seven games, then was up and down during Senior Bowl practices.

Hill is a talented cornerback with the size, speed and the underlying skill to play at the next level. He'll need time to finish his game, yet he has an upside and will be a steal during the final day of the draft.
Anthony Belton
NC State
OT
Ht: 6 - 6
Wt: 336
Large, athletic offensive tackle with an inconsistent game. Starts with good knee bend, quickly sets up off the snap and immediately gets his hands up. Blocks with outstanding lean, keeps his feet moving and is explosive at the point. Strong, stays with blocks and turns defenders from the action. Keeps his head on a swivel, moves incredibly well around the field and is very athletic.

Off balance and gets turned. Struggles to adjust. Bends at the waist. Lacks balance and is on the ground too much.

Scouts graded Belton as a potential top-60 pick two seasons ago, yet he never showed a consistent game or much development on the field. Belton did put together three days of solid practice at the Senior Bowl, which gives people hope for the future. He must lose weight, improve his blocking balance as well as his confidence and really elevate his play to meet the expectations scouts have of him.
Jonas Sanker
Virginia
S
Ht: 6-0.5
Wt: 206
Underrated safety who gets the most from his ability. Instinctive, quickly locates the ball and sells out to make plays against run plays and screen passes. Effectively diagnoses plays, moves well laterally and keeps the action in front of him. Plays within the system, communicates well with teammates and shows a lot of ability in coverage when facing the action. Hard hitter who displays a straight-line burst of speed and makes a lot of plays in run defense.

Lacks true next-level speed. Turned in average ball production the past two seasons.

Sanker was a tackling machine at Virginia the past two seasons, totaling 205 tackles. He's an average athlete, yet he’s instinctive and plays smart, disciplined football. Sanker displayed a lot of skill during Senior Bowl practice and is a Day 3 pick who would be a good fit in a zone scheme.
Jalen Rivers
Miami-Fl
OG
Ht: 6-5.5
Wt: 337
Versatile offensive lineman with potential at guard or tackle. Blocks with leverage, effectively uses his hands and anchors in pass protection. Strong, stays square and keeps his feet moving. Controls defenders at the point of attack or turns them off the ball to open running lanes. Keeps his head on a swivel and shows outstanding awareness.

Lacks footwork in pass protection and does not always make proper use of angles. Gets beaten by quick edge rushers.

Lining up at left tackle the past two years for Miami, Rivers is a strongside blocker with potential at guard or tackle. He looked terrific during three days of Senior Bowl practices at guard and will be a solid Day 3 pick who needs to finish his game.
Ajani Cornelius
Oregon
OT
Ht: 6-4.5
Wt: 319
Rhode Island transfer who started at right tackle for Oregon the past two seasons. Patient, explosive and stays square. Bends his knees, gets his hands up and blocks with a nasty attitude. Tough, strong and knocks defenders off the ball. Quickly sets up in pass protection and displays above-average athleticism. Seals defenders from the action and works to finish them off. Keeps his head on a swivel and displays outstanding blocking vision. Jolts opponents with explosive hand punch.

Does not always make proper use of angles in pass protection. Not a nimble lineman who can adjust. Ineffective blocking in motion.

Cornelius was a terrific blocker for Oregon and possesses the size and style to be used on the strong side at the next level. He's a solid yet unspectacular prospect who could be an invaluable backup.
JJ Pegues
Mississippi
DT
Ht: 6-2
Wt: 327
Athletic and disruptive defensive line prospect with an underrated game. Plays with excellent pad level and agility and fires off the snap with a terrific first step. Easily moves to any direction of the field, quick when asked to twist or stunt and moves well for a big man. Easily changes direction and gets down the line of scrimmage or out into space to make plays. Possesses a closing burst. Used as a ball carrier and lead blocker for Mississippi in goal line situations.

Must do a better job using his hands to protect himself. Easily blocked from the action for a big man.

Pegues was a fan favorite at Mississippi as a gap-penetrating defensive tackle who was also put on the field in short-yardage situations. He possesses the size and skill to see significant action in the NFL, though Pegues must improve his playing strength and start to play to his size.
Dante Trader Jr.
Maryland
S
Ht: 5-11
Wt: 196
Explosive safety who is effective defending the run and covering the pass. Athletic, explosive and fast. Diagnoses plays, quickly locates the ball handler and has a closing burst. Punishing tackles who drives his shoulders into opponents. Tracks the pass in the air, has a nice move to the throw and displays solid range in center field. Easily changes direction, works hard and constantly makes positive plays.

Dealt with an injury last season and seemed to lose a half-step. Inefficient and does not always take proper angles.

Trader, an accomplished college lacrosse player, has shown a lot of ability the past three seasons. He's a terrific run defender who did an outstanding job in center field. Likely to be underdrafted, he has starting potential at the next level as a true free safety.
Kyle Monangai
Rutgers
RB
Ht: 5 - 9
Wt: 209
Tough and instinctive ball carrier who gets the most from every carry. Displays tremendous instincts, patience and vision and waits for blocks to develop. Quickly cuts back against the grain, has a burst through the hole and runs with authority. Loses no momentum changing direction, keeps his feet moving and falls forward when tackled. Creative, makes defenders miss and possesses the agility to turn the corner. Improvises when plays break down, stays in bounds and works to pick up as much yardage as possible. Displays outstanding blocking vision, picks up assignments and squares into opponents.

Rarely used as part of the passing game. Doesn’t move the pile or pick up a lot of yardage off initial contact. Possesses average size.

Monangai was a tremendous back at Rutgers and the focal point of the team's offense. He offers a lot of next-level ability and will start off as a situational ball carrier, but he has potential to develop into a feature runner.
Fadil Diggs
Syracuse
EDGE
Ht: 6-4.5
Wt: 256
Incredibly athletic pass rusher coming off a career season at Syracuse after transferring from Texas A&M. Intense, gives great effort and moves with speed to every direction of the field. Easily changes direction or immediately alters his angle of attack, plays with leverage and is rarely off his feet. Quick out of a three-point stance, strong for his size and bends the edge with speed. Uses his hands to protect himself, works to defend the run and attacks opponents. Can drop off the line and play in space on zone blitzes. Plays faster than his 40 time and displays speed in pursuit and the ability to catch ball handlers from the back side.

Lacks bulk and gets out-positioned by larger blockers. Never produced overwhelming pass-rush numbers.

Diggs is one of the more underrated pass rushers in this year's draft and can be used out of a three-point stance or standing over tackle. He must improve his strength at the point of attack, and while he doesn't have great upside, Diggs possesses enough ability to be used in a rotational system on Sundays.
Joshua Simon
South Carolina
TE
Ht: 6-4.5
Wt: 245
Western Kentucky transfer coming off a career year. Athletic, easily moves around the field and plays heads-up football. Reliable adjusting or contorting to the errant throw and makes the difficult reception in all sorts of positions. Fluid releasing into pass routes, uses his hands to separate from defenders and consistently makes the reception away from his frame. Explodes into blocks and gives effort. Led South Carolina last season with 40 receptions, 519 yards receiving and seven TDs. Timed 4.65 seconds in the 40 at the combine with a 10-yard split of 1.58 seconds and posted a vertical jump of 38 inches.

Lacks blocking strength, rarely gets movement and struggles finishing off opponents. Must do a better job coming back to the football out of breaks and working to make himself an available target.

Simon is an athletically gifted prospect who watched his game take off last season and displays a lot of natural pass-catching skills. He projects as a move tight end and will be productive on Sundays in the proper system.
Omarr Norman-Lott
Tennessee
DT
Ht: 6-1.5
Wt: 291
Undersized yet explosive one-gap tackle with potential as a three-technique lineman. Fires off the snap, consistently gets leverage on opponents and displays good movement skills. Quickly gets his hands up, easily changes direction and makes plays to any area of the field. Strong for his size, agile and flashes athleticism. Penetrates through double-team blocks with a combination of his first step and ability to play with leverage.

Lacks bulk and is easily knocked to the ground by a single opponent. Displayed little improvement in his game last season after a terrific campaign in 2023.

Norman-Lott is a solid athlete with a quick, resilient style of play. He's a scheme-specific lineman who must play in a one-gap system, yet he has an upside and could be a good rotational defender.
Will Howard
Ohio State
QB
Ht: 6 - 4
Wt: 236
Kansas State transfer coming off a sensational campaign. Athletic and possesses tremendous size as well as a next-level arm. Patient in the pocket, sells ball fakes and buys time for receivers. Elusive, remains poised under the rush and easily escapes defenders or picks up yardage with his legs. Effective on quarterback sneaks. Possesses a live arm and a quick release. Powers the ball through the tight window, easily drives deep passes and makes all the throws. Lengthens plays with his ability to scramble around the field, keeps his eyes downfield and loses nothing throwing on the move. Makes a lot of difficult passes due to his arm strength.

Needs to improve his overall pass placement as well as accuracy. Misses wide-open receivers due to wild throws. Does not consistently release the ball with proper footwork. Stares down the primary target and is slow going through progressions.

After transferring from Kansas State, Howard had an outstanding season that resulted in a national championship for Ohio State. He possesses all the physical traits necessary to start on Sundays, but he must really improve his accuracy and learn to go through receiver progressions before he’ll ever start in the NFL.
Jared Ivey
Mississippi
EDGE
Ht: 6-5.5
Wt: 283
Large and athletic defensive end with the ability to take over games. Agile, fluid moving in every direction and uses his hands exceptionally well. Quick, forceful and plays with proper pad level. Keeps his feet moving, slides down the line of scrimmage to defend the run and immediately collapses outside to make plays in space. Fluid when asked to twist or stunt, explosive and displays a closing burst.

Handled by a single blocker or easily turned from the action despite his size. Play has been streaky in the past. Never elevated his game to the heights expected.

Ivey checks a lot of boxes, as he's an athletic defensive end with the size, speed and skill to start on Sundays. He offers possibilities in a variety of schemes as well as the versatility to be used at several defensive line positions. He's a solid prospect with great upside, but Ivey must take his game to the next level sooner rather than later.
Hunter Wohler
Wisconsin
S
Ht: 6-1.5
Wt: 214
Intense safety with nice size. Tremendous run defender who fires up the field, explodes to the play and wraps up tackling. Tough, disciplined and does a terrific job picking up coverage assignments. Diagnoses plays before they unfold, takes proper angles and quickly closes to the action. Sacrifices his body to make the tackle. Nicely times pass defenses and shows a terrific burst to the ball out of his plant. Aggressive and works hard to get involved in the action.

Late arriving on the scene in coverage. Tackling production was almost halved during an injury-plagued 2024 season. Has intercepted three passes over his college career.

After a terrific 2023 season, much was expected from Wohler, who possesses the size, intensity and instincts to play on Sundays, yet injuries held him back. He projects as a zone or traditional strong safety and should also stand out on special teams.
Jared Wilson
Georgia
OC
Ht: 6-3
Wt: 310
First-year starter who is experienced at both center and guard. Stays square, blocks with leverage and quickly gets off the snap. Effectively places his hands into defenders, keeps his feet moving and steers opponents from their angles of attack. Adjusts picking up the blitz, keeps defenders in front of him and keeps his head on a swivel. Turned in one of the better workouts of any offensive lineman at the Combine.

Lacks the dominant base and gets pushed back off the line by defensive tackles. Has a shallow body of work.

Wilson was effective for Georgia last season after breaking into the starting lineup and showed a lot of skill and ability. While he comes with an upside, he would've been better off staying in college for another season and developing his game. Wilson grades as a late-round pick and will have to quickly impress in camp to make an active roster this season.
Jaylin Lane
Virginia Tech
WR
Ht: 5-9
Wt: 196
Short but explosive receiver with game-breaking potential. Plays with balance and body control and possesses soft hands. Fluid, quickly gets into routes and stays low exiting breaks. Adjusts to the errant throw, gets down to scoop up low passes and quickly transitions upfield after the reception. Extends to make the catch away from his frame. Effective on reverses.

Not a big or stout receiver. Easily knocked off his route by the initial hit. Needs space to work.

Lane was a consistent pass catcher at Virginia Tech and is a short but well-built wideout with solid speed. He offers possibilities as a fifth receiver on the depth chart who can also double as a return specialist.
Tim Smith
Alabama
DT
Ht: 6-4
Wt: 295
Explosive gap-occupying defensive lineman who gets the most from his ability. Plays with outstanding pad level, fires off the snap with a terrific first step and consistently gets leverage on opponents. Fights with his hands, keeps his feet moving and gives tremendous effort defending the run. Tough, plays through the whistle and nicely redirects to the ball handler to make the tackle.

Lacks bulk and gets easily turned from the action by a single blocker. Must develop more moves to get off opponents.

Smith is a hard-charging defensive lineman who did the dirty work up front for Alabama. He offers scheme versatility, though Smith may never be anything other than a rotational and backup lineman.
Xavier Restrepo
Miami (FL)
WR
Ht: 5 - 10
Wt: 198
Tough, reliable pass catcher with average size and speed. Outstanding route runner who quickly gets into breaks then stays low on exit and separates from defenders. Quickly releases off the line and shows outstanding route discipline. Comes back to the ball out of routes and extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame. Tracks the pass in the air, adjusts to the errant throw and displays outstanding eye/hand coordination. Adjusts backwards to make the reception in stride, displays incredible focus as well as concentration and knows what's happening on the field. Keeps the play in bounds and works to pick up positive yardage. Follows blocks everywhere on the field when the ball is in his hands.

Plays to one speed and isn’t a downfield threat. More quick than fast. Short. Gives effort blocking downfield but is marginally effective.

Restrepo showed terrific development in his game the past two seasons, combining for 154 yards, 2,219 receiving yards and 17 TDs during that time. He comes with physical limitations, yet he possesses natural receiving skills and could be a productive fourth wideout on a roster.
Chris Paul Jr.
Mississippi
OLB
Ht: 6-1
Wt: 222
Arkansas transfer coming off a terrific campaign. Plays heads-up football, remains disciplined with assignments and sells out to defend the run. Explosive, breaks down well and flows laterally to the action. Quickly locates the ball handler, possesses a closing burst and wraps up tackling. Easily moves to any direction of the field.

Inefficient and overpursues plays. Loses his focus and concentration and blows coverage assignments. Not a stout tackler and has ball carriers running through his arms.

Paul was a forceful linebacker for Mississippi last season who made a lot of plays in the box and behind the line of scrimmage. He comes with an upside, yet he needs experience and must polish his game.
Jarquez Hunter
Auburn
RB
Ht: 5-9.5
Wt: 209
Hard-charging, interior ball carrier who is best running downhill. Patient, runs with balance as well as body control and keeps his feet moving. Waits for blocks to develop, finds the running lanes and has quick feet. Sets up defenders to make them miss, displays a burst and easily changes direction. Runs low to the ground and behind his pads. Explosive, breaks arm tackles and bounces around piles to pick up positive yardage. Solid pass catcher out of the backfield. Does an outstanding job with blocking assignments.

Not a perimeter ball carrier and is really best between tackle. Lacks the speed to beat defenders into the open field. Marginal pass-catching numbers the past three years.

Hunter was Auburn's go-to running back the past three years and showed consistent progress in his game, rushing for a career-high 1,201 yards and eight TDs last season. He's a rotational back with an explosive style who needs to be more productive catching the football.
Jacolby George
Miami (FL)
WR
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Small yet incredibly reliable receiver who is tough to cover. Quick in his all-around game, sells routes and fires into breaks then stays low on exit to separate from defenders. Tracks the pass in the air, displays eye/hand coordination and pulls the fastball out of the air with strong hands. Follows the quarterback across the field or comes back to the ball out of breaks and knows how to become the hot receiver. Plays with great instincts as well as awareness. Gets vertical, snatches the ball out of the air and contorts to the errant throw. Extends and exposes himself to the big hit in order to come away with the reception. Very natural and displays a sense of timing.

Not a big-bodied receiver and is easily brought down at the point by a single defender or loses out in battles. Lacks a true second gear for a smaller wideout.

Though small in stature, George was a productive wideout for Miami the past two seasons then went on to have three outstanding days of practice during the Shrine Bowl. Size is a limiting factor, yet he'll be a solid middle-round pick who can line up as a slot receiver and punt returner.
Jackson Slater
Sacramento State
OG
Ht: 6-3
Wt: 313
Large, nasty small-school blocker who offers possibilities at a variety of interior offensive line positions. Explosive, quickly gets into run blocks and stays square. Strong, has an NFL build and easily seals defenders from the action. Correctly places his hands into defenders, blocks with solid fundamentals and anchors in pass protection or easily rides defenders from their angles of attack. Remains disciplined with assignments and shows good blocking vision. Quick when asked to kick out or pull across the line of scrimmage. Works blocks, plays with a nasty attitude and always tries to annihilate opponents.

Stiff and gets narrow-based at times. Ineffective trying to chop block.

Slater was highly thought-of in the scouting community coming into the season, then he turned in a good senior campaign followed up by a terrific performance at the Senior Bowl. He offers possibilities in a power gap system at either guard or center and will be a solid pick at the start of Day 3.
Yahya Black
Iowa
DT
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Athletic big man who displayed flashes of ability the past three seasons. Fires off the snap with a terrific first step and plays with excellent knee bend and leverage. Keeps his feet moving, works his hands throughout the action and easily redirects to ball handlers then wraps up tackling. Moves well on the field, commands double-team blocks and is rarely off his feet. Easily holds his ground or changes direction to get to the action. Flashes the ability to get outside the box and make plays. Tough to stop when he's focused.

Inconsistent off the snap. Must develop more moves with his hands. Streaky and does not make a lot of plays on the ball. Never truly elevated his game.

At the top of his game, Black can be a one-man show on the inside as a gap occupier and occasional playmaker. He possesses the size and athleticism to be a starter in the NFL, yet he has remained the same player the past two seasons and never elevated his game. Black will likely end up as an early Day 3 pick despite having top-60 potential, but if the light goes on and he's coached correctly, he could have a long and productive career at the next level.
Tyler Baron
Miami-Fl
EDGE
Ht: 6-4.5
Wt: 260
Athletic and explosive pass rusher who displays the ability to be a dominant force. Stands over tackle or comes out of a three-point stance, plays with leverage and displays an explosive first step. Keeps his feet moving, immediately alters his angle of attack and possesses a closing burst to the action. Forceful, gets a lot of momentum going and shows a violent nature to his game. Displays himself as a terrific pass rusher, moves well around the field and is fast pursuing the action laterally.

Seems to play half-speed on occasion and does not show a sense of urgency on the field. Gets knocked around by blockers. Totaled 5.5 sacks last season, with three of them coming against Florida A&M.

Baron is a bit of an enigma, as he possesses first-round measurables and flashes that type of ability on occasion, but he’s streaky and disappears for long stretches. He possesses tremendous upside, and should he ever decide to play to his potential on every-snap basis, Baron will be productive at the next level.
Vernon Broughton
Texas
DT
Ht: 6-5
Wt: 306
Athletic interior defensive lineman with size as well as growth potential. Plays with excellent knee bend as well as leverage, keeps his feet moving and plays explosive football. Effective with his hands, fires off the snap and discards blockers to penetrate the line of scrimmage. Chases the action hard, quickly changes direction and moves well laterally in pursuit plays down the line of scrimmage or outside the box. Effectively diagnoses plays and does more than just mindlessly rush up field.

Easily out-positioned from the action by a single opponent despite his size. Doesn't show much power in his game. Average pass rusher.

Broughton is a nice-sized defensive lineman with upside potential on the field and in the weight room. He offers possibilities as an interior defensive lineman and may even be able to line up at end in certain two-gap systems. He's a developmental prospect who would be a good backup to start his NFL career and could eventually develop into a starter.
Justin Barron
Syracuse
OLB
Ht: 6-3.5
Wt: 227
Super athletic linebacker with an underrated game. Displays terrific range, covers a lot of area and possesses speed going sideline to sideline. Instinctive, displays excellent recognition and gives great effort. Tough run defender and a hard hitter who blows up opponents. Gets depth on pass drops and possesses solid ball skills as well as a burst of speed and the ability to recover. Effective open-field tackler.

Possesses a thin build and average playing strength. Gets out-positioned from the action by blocks.

Barron displayed a developing game and totaled a combined 183 tackles the past two seasons while breaking up 12 passes. He was the best cover linebacker during three days of Senior Bowl practices and possesses the athleticism and the ability to be a starter for a variety of defensive schemes.
Clay Webb
Jacksonville State
OG
Ht: 6-2.5
Wt: 305
Georgia transfer who has been productive and durable the past two seasons. Terrific run blocker who is explosive and strong. Quick when asked to pull across the line of scrimmage, plays with a nasty attitude and works to finish off opponents. Stays square, seals defenders from the action and blocks with good lean. Moves relatively well on his feet. Had three outstanding days of practice at the Senior Bowl.

Must do a better job sinking his butt at the line of scrimmage and starting with better knee bend. Struggles hitting a moving target and lacks overall balance. Lacks smooth and quick footwork in space.

Though highly rated in some areas outside the scouting community, Webb is seen as an above-average prospect by NFL teams. He lacks great growth potential and is stuck somewhere between not being strong enough for a power gap blocker or athletic enough for a zone-blocking scheme. He does enough things well that he could make an NFL roster as a backup early on then develop into a starting lineman.
Brady Cook
Missouri
QB
Ht: 6-1.5
Wt: 206
Intelligent and resilient quarterback who is accurate in the short and intermediate passing game. Displays incredible patience, remains poised under the rush and buys time for receivers. Sees the field, makes good choices and protects the football. Sits in the pocket and takes a big hit in order to get the throw away. Gets outside the pocket and keeps his eyes downfield, puts the pass in front of receivers and allows them run to the ball. Puts touch on throws when necessary. Throws with an over-the-top delivery and spreads the ball around to all his targets. Possesses a strong arm and flashes the ability to accurately place deep throws. Performed well during combine workouts and looked terrific throwing the ball.

Not a threat to pick up yardage with his legs. Missed time last season with injury. Stands to improve his overall pass placement. Lacks pocket stature and size.

Cook was a productive quarterback at Missouri despite struggling with injuries last season. He displays a terrific head for the game and could develop into a No. 2 signal caller on Sundays.
Cameron Horsley
Boston College
DT
Ht: 6-3
Wt: 316
Explosive one-gap defensive lineman perfectly suited to be a three-technique tackle. Fires off the snap with an explosive first step, plays with great pad level and effectively uses his hands. Moves well on his feet and easily changes direction. Gets down the line of scrimmage to pursue plays and shows ability in space on zone blitzes. Smooth when asked to twist or stunt, possesses a closing burst and is quick in his all-around game. Stays with the action and works hard.

Lacks strength and gets knocked around by a single blocker. Did not show much improvement in his game last season. Totaled just 3 1/2 sacks during his five years at Boston College.

Horsley came into this season graded as a potential Day 2 prospect, but he did not show much improvement in his game. He's a one-gap/three-technique tackle with the quickness, movement skills and leverage to start in a four-man front.
Jaydon Blue
Texas
RB
Ht: 5-9
Wt: 196
First-year starter coming off a career season. Quick, has a burst and beats defenders into the open field. Runs hard, keeps his feet moving and breaks arm tackles to pick up yardage. Terrific pass catcher out of the backfield who competes to come away with the reception and makes a lot of difficult catches. Gives effort with blocking assignments.

Small and will struggle to carry the load as a ball carrier. Possesses marginal blocking strength. Does not display himself as a perimeter ball carrier.

After backing up most of his career at Texas, Blue moved in with the first team last season then turned in a career year. He's a situational skill player who can carry the ball and catch it out of the backfield, though Blue does have an unpolished game.
Da'Quan Felton
Virginia Tech
WR
Ht: TBD
Wt: TBD
Big-bodied receiver with reliable hands. Displays good route discipline, extends his hands and grabs the pass from the air. Adjusts to the errant throw, competes to come away with the catch in a crowd and offers the quarterback a large target. Uses his frame to shield away defenders, displays eye/hand coordination and gets vertical to high point the throw over defenders. Gives effort blocking and gets results.

Lacks quickness and speed and cannot run to the deep throw. Tends to round off routes.

Felton is a big-bodied possession wideout who uses his large frame and long arms to beat opponents. He’d be a solid fit in a timing offense and has the potential to be a significant red-zone threat.
Ozzy Trapilo
Boston College
OT
Ht: 6-8
Wt: 314
Massive lineman who blocks with solid fundamentals and shows ability in motion. Patient, keeps his feet moving and works his hands throughout the action. Starts with excellent knee bend and blocks with proper lean. Stays square and anchors in pass protection. Explosive, fires into blocks and knocks opponents off the line. Effective with his hands, keeps his feet moving and possesses outstanding vision. Makes proper use of angles in pass protection. Quick to the second level, gets good fits on linebackers and seals them from the action.

Doesn't show much agility in his game. Lacks footwork and range off the edge. Struggles with his balance when sliding in pass protection.

Trapilo was a durable three-year starter at both left and right tackle for Boston College and showed consistent improvement in his game. He's a natural strongside lineman who could effectively back up for a variety of blocking schemes.
Sam Brown Jr
Miami-Fl
WR
Ht: 6-2
Wt: 194
Once-highly rated receiver coming off a disappointing campaign. Sized well, athletic and plays with balance as well as body control. Comes back to the ball in a crowd, consistently extends to offer the quarterback a target and makes the reception away from his frame. Tracks the pass in the air, adjusts to the errant throw and possesses eye/hand coordination. Fluid, smooth and uses the sidelines well. Gives effort as a blocker and is very effective.

Lacks deep speed and a second gear. Dropped a lot of catchable throws last season. Watched his production significantly fall off after transferring from Houston.

Brown was receiving Day 2 grades entering the season, yet he was very streaky last year and turned in limited production. He possesses the size and speed and previously showed the pass-catching skill to play on Sundays, and at the top of his game, Brown offers potential as a third receiver.
Miles Frazier
LSU
OG
Ht: 6-5.5
Wt: 317
Three-year starter at LSU who also played with the first team for Florida International in 2021. Fluid zone-blocking prospect with an upside. Quick, smooth pulling across the line of scrimmage and shows a lot of ability blocking in motion. Fires his hands into defenders, keeps his feet moving and stays square. Keeps his head on a swivel and always looks to hit someone. Adjusts or redirects to pick up the blitz as well as blocking in motion. Explosive at the point and works to finish blocks.

Must do a better job bending his knees and playing with leverage. Must improve his playing strength.

Frazier displayed a tremendous amount of improvement in his game last season and still offers terrific upside potential. Best fitting a zone-blocking scheme, he also has the size to play in a power system if he improves his playing strength.
Kaden Prather
Maryland
WR
Ht: 6-3
Wt: 209
Reliable possession receiver who turned in two productive seasons for Maryland. Quickly releases off the line of scrimmage, shows a burst and plays faster than his 40 time. Displays excellent route discipline and takes a pounding yet holds onto the throw. Extends his hands, consistently makes the reception away from his frame and competes to come away with the difficult reception. Tracks the pass in the air, uses the sidelines well and always works to become an available target. Gives effort blocking downfield and does the little things well.

Lacks vertical speed. Dropped some very catchable passes during Shrine Bowl practices. Was never a real red-zone threat for Maryland.

Prather was a reliable receiver for Maryland and has enough pass-catching skill and football intellect to make a roster as a fourth or fifth receiver on Sundays.
Shemar James
Florida
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized run-and-chase linebacker who is best in pursuit. Fast moving in every direction, quickly gets out to the sidelines and makes a lot of plays in space. Aggressive, breaks down well and works hard to make the tackle. Fluid moving in every direction of the field, quick flipping his hips in coverage and gets depth on pass drops. Quickly picks up assignments in coverage and sticks with opponents. Immediately diagnoses plays and possesses a closing burst.

Not forceful on the blitz. Does not stack well against the run. Inefficient and does not always take proper angles. Struggled during coverage drills at the Senior Bowl.

James was a terrific off-ball linebacker at Florida, chasing the action sideline to sideline and making a lot of plays in space. He offers scheme versatility and can line up at inside or outside linebacker.
Jordan Watkins
Mississippi
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated receiver who has been productive the past three seasons. Quick, has a terrific burst of speed and displays himself as a legitimate deep threat. Tracks the deep pass, keeps his focus and concentration and makes the contested grab down the field. Possesses eye/hand coordination, adjusts to grab the errant throw from the air and displays a sense of timing. Extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target and makes the reception away from his frame. Displays good route discipline, knows where he is on the field and uses his frame to shield away defenders. Comes back to the ball or across the field and makes the difficult catch in a crowd.

Must improve his footwork in and out of routes. Takes his eyes off the ball on occasion, which leads to drops.

Watkins possesses a solid build and next-level speed, and he has shown NFL pass-catching skills the past three years. He possesses the ability to line up Sundays as a fifth receiver and also comes with return potential.
Phil Mafah
Clemson
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Large, powerful downhill ball carrier who is best between the tackles. Runs with good lean, keeps his feet moving and is rarely brought down by the first defender. Follows blocks everywhere on the field, will pick and choose his spots and has a punishing style. Drives his shoulders into defenders, knocks them backwards and picks up the difficult yardage. Displays excellent blocking vision, stays with assignments and becomes the hot receiver when necessary.

Loses balance trying to immediately cut back against the grain, cannot make defenders miss or avoid piles and is unable to improvise if plays break down. Lacks lateral agility as well as speed and cannot beat defenders around the corner.

Mafah is a hard-working downhill back who can also block. He's perfect for short-yardage or goal line situations and can be kept in the backfield on passing downs as an extra blocker.
Gunnar Helm
Texas
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized tight end who projects as a No. 2 at the position. Fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage, displays terrific eye/hand coordination and remains focused. Lays out for the difficult reception and takes a big hit or pounding yet holds onto the ball. Settles into the open spot in underneath coverage and uses his frame to shield away defenders. Tracks the pass in the air and nicely times receptions. Exposes himself to the big hit to come away with the catch. Blocks with leverage, stays square and is strong at the point.

Not fast, lacks a burst and isn’t a true downfield threat. Shows a lot of stiffness in his game. Was minimally productive until last season.

Helm became much more involved in the passing offense at Texas this season and turned in a career campaign, catching 60 passes for 786 yards with seven TDs. He does a little of everything well, yet he is really nothing more than a short or intermediate pass-catching target at his position. Helm should be a productive second tight end on the roster and can be a three-down player.
Aeneas Peebles
Virginia Tech
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Explosive one-gap defensive lineman coming off a terrific season. Plays with great pad level, consistently gets leverage on opponents and easily changes direction. Moves well laterally to get down the line of scrimmage or outside the box in pursuit. Keeps his feet moving, displays a variety of moves to get off blocks and plays through the whistle. Effective with his hands and incredibly quick.

Lacks bulk and gets out-positioned from plays by a single blocker. Never had great pass-rushing production despite his size and style.

Peebles is a smaller defensive tackle with limited growth potential whose style is perfectly fitted to be a three-technique tackle on Sundays.
Jamaree Caldwell
Oregon
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated defensive tackle who has a terrific combination of size, explosion and athleticism. Agile for a big man, fires off the snap with a terrific first step and moves well in every direction of the field. Uses his hands to protect himself, keeps his feet moving and flashes power in his lower body with the ability to knock blockers off the ball. Easily changes direction, fluid when asked to twist or stunt and gets out laterally in pursuit of plays. Takes on double-team blocks yet holds his ground.

Was never overly productive on the college level. Did not record a sack last season. Easily out-positioned from the action by blocks.

Caldwell is a wide-bodied offensive tackle with the traits necessary to start on Sundays. He offers a high upside, and if he continues to improve his game, Caldwell could eventually break into a starting lineup.
Jonah Monheim
USC
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Talented offensive lineman who made a successful transition from left tackle to center last season. Athletic, fluid pulling across the line of scrimmage and easily moves about the field. Fires off the snap into blocks, plays with leverage and works his hands throughout the action. Keeps his feet moving, can slide in space and nicely redirects or adjusts to defenders. Shows great awareness and blocking vision. Effective with the shotgun snap.

Lacks functional football strength, does not get movement run blocking and is often tossed aside by defenders. Arms measured just 30 1/2 inches during the Senior Bowl.

On film, Monheim looks like a terrific zone-blocking linemen who was effective at multiple positions for USC. He must get stronger to play on Sundays, and his short arms will push him into the late rounds of the draft if not out of all seven rounds completely.
Teddye Buchanan
California
LB
Ht:
Wt:
UC-Davis transfer coming off a career campaign. Intense, flies around the field and sells out to make the tackle. Breaks down well, quickly locates the ball handler and shows speed moving in any direction. Gets depth on pass drops, displays speed to the sidelines and is effective in pursuit. Remains disciplined with assignments and quickly locates the ball handler.

Easily out-positioned by blocks. Not forceful on the blitz. Must improve his ball skills.

Buchanan was graded as a street free agent entering the season, and then he went on to total 114 tackles, 12 TFLs and five sacks while breaking up four passes. Just scratching the surface of his game, he possesses the speed and athleticism to play on Sundays and offers scheme versatility.
Nazir Stackhouse
Georgia
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Large, sometimes dominant defensive tackle who plays with solid pad level to get leverage on opponents. Works his hands throughout the action and slides off blocks laterally. Flashes an explosive first step, quickly locates the ball handler and makes tackles in space. Shows agility and gets a lot of momentum going upfield. Keeps his feet moving and gives effort.

Inconsistent in all areas of his game. Does not consistently get off the ball with a great first step. Gets turned from the action or controlled by a single opponent despite his size. Marginal pass rusher who totaled three sacks in 59 games.

Stackhouse was well-liked in the scouting community for the longest time and received second-round grades, yet he never took his game to the next level. Possessing the size and skill to play on Sundays, his game can be characterized as streaky to marginal, and Stackhouse must do more than display flashes of ability to make an NFL roster.
Ethan Downs
Oklahoma
EDGE
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized but athletic one-gap defensive lineman who gets the most from his ability. Plays with leverage, effectively uses his hands and moves well around the field. Fires off the snap, plays with consistent leverage and shows speed off the edge. Occasionally stands over tackle and shows pass-rush skill. Remains disciplined with assignments, gives effort against the run and knocks away the pass if he cannot get to the passer. Easily changes direction, plays to his 40 time and displays speed pursuing the action to the sidelines.

Lacks size and bulk and is easily controlled by a single opponent. Marginally productive the past two seasons.

Downs is a hard-working prospect who shows a degree of athleticism in his game and projects as a situational pass rusher for a variety of schemes on Sundays.
Sebastian Castro
Iowa
S
Ht:
Wt:
Explosive, hard-hitting, run-defending safety coming off a disappointing season. Quickly picks up assignments and remains disciplined. Fires upfield and gives effort defending screen passes or the run. Strong open-field tackler who is forceful on the blitz and sells out to make plays. Nasty, goes hard after opponents and sells out to make plays.

Late transitioning off the line in coverage, which results in a lot of chasing receivers down the field. Cannot stay with receivers out of breaks. Lack of height results in mismatches against tight ends.

Castro was graded as a potential Day 2 prospect entering the season, yet he failed to live up to expectations and really struggled in coverage. He's a hard-hitting defensive back who is best between the numbers and could line up in a zone system if he gets his game back to prior form. At the very least, Castro should be a terrific special-teams player.
Raheim Sanders
South Carolina
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Large, powerful ball carrier who is best running downhill. Strong, runs hard on the inside and does not go down without a fight. Displays excellent vision, is tough to bring down and carries two or three defenders before being tackled. Uses an effective straight arm to keep plays alive and works to get as much from every carry as possible. Solid pass catcher out of the backfield who adjusts to the errant throw and extends to make the reception away from his frame. Displays vision carrying the ball or blocking, sees the blitz and squares into defenders.

Lacks quickness as well as playing speed and presents himself as solely a downhill ball carrier. Loses a lot of momentum trying to cut back against the grain and must gather himself.

Sanders is a powerful, straight-ahead ball carrier who also does a solid job as a pass catcher out of the backfield. He's strictly a short-yardage or goal-line ball carrier who can also be brought onto the field as an extra blocker in the backfield.
Tyreem Powell
Rutgers
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Once-highly rated linebacker who breaks down well, quickly diagnoses plays and is effective moving in every direction. Shows ability in pursuit, quickly gets to the sidelines and scrapes laterally to fill the gaps in run defense. Fluid, forceful upfield and wraps up tackling. Makes plays in space and always works to make something positive happen. Effectively communicates with his teammates and makes the defensive calls.

Struggled with a wrist injury in 2023 then tore an Achilles tendon in the spring of 2024. Did not show much quickness or speed in his game last season coming off the injury.

Powell looked well on his way to being an early-round prospect after the 2022 season before being slowed by injuries. He possesses the size and previously showed the speed to be a starting linebacker on Sundays, but he must get back to full health and show durability.
Payton Page
Clemson
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Quick, explosive defensive lineman who could be used as a conventional tackle or a three-technique lineman. Plays with great leverage, possesses an explosive first step and does a great job getting his hands up into blockers. Fluid when asked to twist or stunt, moves well in every direction and gets down the line and out into space to pursue plays. Consistently gets leverage on opponents, plays through the whistle and is quick in all his actions.

Struggles getting off blocks and gets consistently handled at the point of attack. Not much of a pass rusher and recorded half a sack during his college career. Marginally productive until last season.

Page comes off a terrific senior campaign at Clemson, and he’s an explosive lineman who is just hitting his stride. He comes with upside and offers potential as a backup in a variety of defensive schemes.
Craig Woodson
California
S
Ht:
Wt:
Explosive run-defending safety who shows ability covering the pass between the numbers. Vicious hitter who is instinctive and effective facing the action. Fast in a straight line, keeps the action in front of him and works to make plays against run plays and screen passes. Tracks the pass in the air, shows solid ball skills and has a closing burst out of his plant. Effectively communicates with teammates in the secondary.

Overpursues plays on occasion. Often a half-step late getting to the action. Gets confused and blows coverage assignments.

Woodson has been a solid safety for California the past three seasons primarily as a run defender, yet he is also someone who can cover the pass in a small area. A zone safety prospect, Woodson must make it at the next level as a special-teams player.
Garrett Dellinger
LSU
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Strong and fundamentally sound blocker who is best in a small area. Bends his knees, blocks with leverage and is explosive at the point. Stays square, effectively uses his hands and knocks defenders off the line. Anchors in pass protection, keeps his head on a swivel and works run blocks.

Lacks footwork sliding in space. Struggles to adjust.

Dellinger was a productive two-year starter at LSU, though he did miss four games with an ankle injury last season. He's a dominant power gap prospect who comes with growth potential.
Jordan Hancock
Ohio State
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Talented nickel back with excellent size. Athletic, aggressive and shows a lot of ability over the slot receiver. Quick flipping his hips in transition, immediately diagnoses plays and possesses a burst to the ball out of his plant. Stays on the opponent’s hip out of breaks and has a nice move to the throw. Fires up the field to make plays against the run and short passes.

Hesitates out of his transition and does a bit of trailing downfield. Does not always play to his 40 time. Gets turned on occasion, which results in completions for the opposition.

Hancock displayed a steady line of progression in his game and would've been the top cornerback on many programs around the country. He possesses the size and ball skills to play in nickel or dime packages at the next level once he polishes his game.
Konata Mumpfield
Pittsburgh
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Consistently productive wideout with reliable hands. Quickly exits routes, comes back to the ball and uses his frame to shield away defenders. Sturdy, takes a big hit and holds onto the pass. Tracks the deep ball in the air, keeps his focus as well as concentration and adjusts to grab the errant throw in stride. Displays eye/hand coordination and will make the difficult over-the-shoulder reception downfield. Fluid and natural.

Not a deep threat and plays to one speed. Average run-after-the-catch ability. Shrine Bowl measurements included arms under 30 inches and hands just 8 1/2 inches.

Mumpfield was a reliable target at Pittsburgh and possesses enough pass-catching skill to line up as a fifth receiver on Sundays.
Eric Gregory
Arkansas
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Explosive defensive tackle with a developing game. Plays with terrific pad level, gets leverage on opponents and effectively uses his hands. Quick off the snap, moves well laterally and gets down the line of scrimmage to pursue running plays. Flashes the ability to take over games.

Does not play like a big, stout, 323-pound defensive tackle. Consistently out-positioned from the action by a single opponent. Despite flashes of athleticism and isn’t much of a pass rusher.

Gregory possesses the size and athleticism to be used in multiple fronts on the defensive line, and though he comes off the solid season, he must continue to elevate his game to make an NFL roster.
Major Burns
LSU
S
Ht:
Wt:
Feisty run-defending safety who is best making plays up the field. Stays with assignments, shows good recognition and fires to the action. Breaks down well and uses his hands to protect himself. Aggressive and physical defending the run. Works to get off blocks and plays through the whistle. Strong open-field tackler who easily redirects to the ball handler. Battles receivers in coverage and works to track the pass.

Lacks ball skills and tends to trail opponents downfield. Watched his production fall way off last season. Intercepted two passes during his college career.

Burns possesses the size and temperament to play on Sundays, yet he must expand his game and improve his play against the pass.
Montrell Johnson Jr.
Florida
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Consistently productive running back who displays excellent vision. Patient, follows blocks and picks his way on the inside. Quickly cuts back against the grain, has a burst that he turns on in a single step and works runs. Runs with excellent lean and behind his pads, picks up the difficult yardage and falls forward when tackled. Creates yardage in the open field. Solid receiver out of the backfield.

Lacks the speed to turn the perimeter or beat defenders into the open field. Struggled with injury during a disappointing 2024 season.

Johnson possesses the ball-carrying and pass-catching skills to be a situational runner on Sundays.
Pat Bryant
Illinois
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized wideout who has shown consistent improvement in his game and turned in a career season last year. Quickly releases off the line into routes, is feisty and uses his hands to separate from defenders. Sells routes, stays low exiting breaks and adjusts to the errant throw. Battles to separate from defenders, displays outstanding eye/hand coordination and reaches back to grab the errant pass from the air. Competitive, gets vertical and fights to come away with the contested grab. Nicely makes the reception on crossing patterns. Consistently extends to make the reception away from his frame.

Not a deep threat and plays to one speed. Average run-after-the-catch skill. Inconsistent blocking.

Bryant was a productive receiver at Illinois the past three seasons and watched his game take off as a senior, when he caught 54 passes for 984 yards and 10 TDs. He’s an instinctive receiver who consistently finds ways to separate from defenders and catches everything thrown in his direction. He has potential as a fifth or possibly fourth receiver on the depth chart and projects as a solid Day 3 pick.
Theo Wease
Missouri
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized pass catcher with reliable hands. Effectively uses his hands to separate from defenders, tracks the pass in the air and displays focus as well as concentration. Extends to make the reception away from his frame, quickly turns upfield and works after the catch. Uses the sidelines well and wins out for the contested grab. Plays heads-up football and shows excellent awareness.

Lacks speed and quickness and cannot run to the deep throw. Must improve his route running. Tested poorly during the combine.

Wease was a consistent target for Missouri the past two seasons and showed development in his game. He lacks great upside, yet he displayed a lot of polish catching the ball and could make a roster as a fifth receiver.
Cam Jackson
Florida
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Massive interior defensive lineman with an inconsistent game. Plays with leverage and explosiveness and quickly gets his hands into defenders. Keeps his feet moving, knocks blockers off the ball and penetrates the line of scrimmage. Shows the ability to discard opponents and gives effort defending the run. Fires off the snap with an explosive first step.

Too often controlled at the point by a single opponent. Small-area lineman who struggles getting outside the box to make plays. Average pass rusher who totaled just 1.5 sacks the past two years.

Jackson possesses the size to play on Sundays and is a leverage lineman who flashes ability. Yet he does not consistently play like a 335-pound defender and is often controlled at the point. He must get stronger and, more than anything else, learn to play every snap with a nasty attitude.
Justin Walley
Minnesota
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated cornerback who has been very productive the past four seasons. Physical, willingly takes on bigger pass catchers and throws his body around the field. Tracks the pass in the air, has a nice move to the throw and shows a burst to the ball out of his plant. Works to get his head back around and does a solid job making plays with his back to the ball. Fires upfield to defend screen throws and stop the run.

Slow off the line, which puts him a half-step behind opponents and consistently playing catch-up. Will do a bit of face guarding at times. Plays to one speed and cannot recover.

Walley has broken up 34 passes over the past four years, and he was a cornerback opponents purposely avoided. Best facing the action, he shows potential as a dime back in a zone system and comes with an upside.
CJ Dippre
Alabama
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Well-built tight end who is effective as a blocker and short-range pass catcher. Blocks with terrific fundamentals, stays square and anchors at the point. Shows ability as a position blocker and works to get a pad on defenders before releasing into pass routes. Adjusts to the errant throw, extends his hands and makes the reception away from his frame. Settles into the open spot in underneath coverage, displays good route discipline and works to make himself an available target. Ran incredibly well at the Combine, timing 4.69 in the forty.

Lacks quickness and playing speed. Struggles finishing blocks and falls off opponents. Moderately productive, catching 32 passes for 443 yards with no touchdowns the past two seasons.

Dippre is a hard-working tight end who gets the most from his ability, yet he may never be anything more than a No. 3 on the depth chart.
Tonka Hemingway
South Carolina
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Explosive one-gap defensive tackle who projects as a three-technique lineman. Plays with terrific leverage, gets off the snap with an explosive first step and gives effort. Moves well around the field, works hard to make plays and consistently gets behind the line of scrimmage to disrupt the action. Improved his pass-rushing skills last season.

Lacks size and strength and is consistently handled at the point or sealed from the action. Must improve his hand use.

Hemingway is an athletic interior defensive lineman who must improve his overall strength and add bulk to his frame.
Alijah Clark
Syracuse
S
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized safety with an explosive nature to his game. Quick diagnosing plays, fast moving laterally and quickly gets to the flanks to help cornerbacks. Tough run defender who sells out and sacrifices his body to make the stop. Possesses an explosive closing burst, wraps up tackling and brings opponents down in the open field. Tracks the pass in the air and displays an excellent move to the throw.

Inefficient and takes improper angles to the action. Has one career interception on his tally.

Clark is an underrated prospect with the size and athleticism to start on Sundays. Though he could develop into a center fielder, he's likely better off in a zone system early in his career, and Clark should lend a hand on special teams.
Marcus Harris
California
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Physically gifted cornerback coming off a disappointing season. Aggressive, mixes it up with opponents and physically beats down receivers to knock away passes. Tracks the pass in the air, plays to his 40 time and has a nice move to the throw. Works to get his head back around to make plays. Effective covering receivers on crossing patterns. Displays a burst to the ball out of his plant. Defeats blocks to get upfield and make plays against screen throws or the run. Solid open-field tackler.

Mistimes pass defenses on occasion. Overpursues plays and takes himself from the action. Desire to play football has been questioned by some.

Harris possesses the size as well as speed to play on Sundays and shows a good combination of ball skills and tenacity. He comes with a large upside, yet he must be more consistent on the field and elevate his game.
Bam Martin-Scott
South Carolina
OLB
Ht:
Wt:
Slightly undersized linebacker coming off a career year. Breaks down well, uses his hands to protect himself and moves well around the field. Athletic, covers a lot of area and has an explosive closing burst to the action. Effectively diagnoses plays, shows lateral speed and easily changes direction. Fires upfield to defend the run, gives effort and sells out.

Easily blocked from the action. More of a downhill linebacker and struggles in coverage.

Martin-Scott is a fast-flowing pursuit linebacker with potential in a one-gap system, but he must stand out on special teams.
Andrew Armstrong
Arkansas
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Woefully underrated pass catcher with reliable hands. Instinctive, properly reads defenses and finds the open spot on the field. Plays with balance as well as body control, tracks the pass in the air and uses his frame to shield away defenders. Possesses quick, strong hands and snatches the ball out of the air. Sells routes, quickly gets into breaks and uses the sidelines well. Effective running after the catch with the ability to create yardage. Plays faster than his 40 time. Gets vertical in a crowd and competes to come away with the catch.

Does not show much of a burst in his game. Possesses a thin build.

Armstrong turned in a productive campaign in 2023 at Arkansas after transferring from Texas A&M Commerce and had a career year last season with 78 receptions for 1,140 yards. He's a surehanded wideout who would fit in a variety of offensive systems and will be one of the steals at the receiver position this year.
Jake Briningstool
Clemson
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Tall and fluid pass catcher who displays a lot of athleticism in his game. Easily moves about the field and shows the ability to adjust to the errant throw. Tracks the pass in the air, gets down to scoop up low throws and consistently makes the reception away from his frame. Extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target and uses his frame to shield away defenders. Gets vertical and competes to come away with the difficult catch. Possesses the speed necessary to split the seam. Effective when focused on his game.

Must improve his blocking strength and struggles finishing off linebackers. Did not consistently come away with the contested grab last year and dropped a lot of catchable throws, seemingly losing his focus as well as concentration. Hand length at the Senior Bowl came in under nine inches after a somewhat disappointing season.

Entering the season graded as a potential Day 2 selection, Briningstool never truly elevated his game and struggled more than usual catching the ball. He's a tall, athletic tight end prospect with growth potential who could develop into a starter if he gets his game back on track and receives proper coaching.

Explosive run-and-chase linebacker who is best in pursuit. Aggressive, flies around the field and covers a tremendous amount of area. Quickly picks up and stays with coverage assignments, gets depth on pass drops and has enough speed to stay downfield with tight ends and running backs. Instinctive, takes proper angles to the action and is quick getting to plays. Plays to his 40 time if not faster, has a closing burst and stands out in pursuit. Goes hard and works to get involved in the action.

Must improve his ball skills and do a better job getting his head back around to locate the pass in the air. Struggles taking on blocks and gets caught up in the trash.

Carter was a productive three-year linebacker for Clemson who comes with an upside. He's a traditional weakside linebacker prospect who can also play on the inside of a 3-4 where he is allowed to freely run to the ball.
Luke Lachey
Iowa
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Once-highly rated tight end who is still struggling to return from the injury he sustained in 2023. Natural receiver who extends his hands and makes the reception away from his frame. Tracks the pass in the air, adjusts to the errant throw and displays soft as well as strong hands. Played faster than his 40 time prior to his injury. Runs solid routes, stays low on exit and positions himself to make the reception. Sturdy pass catcher with terrific eye/hand coordination. Starts with good knee bend as a blocker, keeps his head on a swivel and stays with assignments.

Played in just three games before suffering a season-ending ankle injury in 2023. Seemed to lose a lot of quickness and zip in his game last year. Never had great production, posting a career-high 28 catches for 398 yards as a sophomore in 2022.

Lachey looked as though he would be the next great tight end from Iowa early in his career, yet the ankle injury in 2023 set him back. He rebounded and played well last season, yet he was never the pass-catching force many thought he would develop into. He comes with a good degree of upside, and if he’s able to return to prior form, Lachey will be a Day 3 steal.
Bradyn Swinson
LSU
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Oregon transfer who displayed tremendous improvement in his game last season. Plays with leverage, effectively uses his hands and does a terrific job rushing the edge. Displays a shoulder dip which allows him to get underneath blockers and penetrate the line of scrimmage, has a closing burst and moves incredibly well. Plays faster than his 40 time and makes plays in space. Possesses a nasty attitude, attacks opponents and is effective out of a three-point stance as well as standing over tackle. Works hard to defend the run and sets the edge to allow teammates to make plays on the ball.

Lacks great long speed. Comes with average size and speed for a next-level pass rusher. Posted just one year of great production.

Swinson was a disruptive force for LSU last season and displayed a lot of next-level skill and effort. He’ll be a situational pass rusher on Sundays who can stand over tackle or line up as a one-gap defensive end, and Swinson comes with a special-teams mentality.
Bru McCoy
Tennessee
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Once-highly rated receiver who fires into pass routes, gets out of breaks smoothly and positions himself to make the reception. Tracks the pass in the air, extends his hands and snatches the ball away from his frame. Displays strong hands with the ability to pull the fastball out of the air. Possesses terrific eye/hand coordination as well as timing, adjusts or contorts to the errant throw and makes the difficult over-the-shoulder reception. Gets vertical to high-point the ball over defenders. Shows a lot of strength after the catch and carries defenders to pick up yardage.

Never built upon his terrific junior season of 2022 and disappointed in 2024. Lacks a quick release off the line of scrimmage, does not show a burst in his game and plays to one speed. Must improve his route running and expand his route tree.

McCoy was graded as a potential Day 2 selection by scouts entering the season, yet he really wasn't involved in the Tennessee offense, nor was he the No. 1 wideout. He possesses a next-level frame and has displayed a lot of pass-catching skill, which could help him catch on as a fifth/possession receiver.
Dominic Lovett
Georgia
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Slightly undersized receiver with reliable hands. Quick, fires into routes and separates from opponents out of breaks. Adjusts to the errant throw, extends his hands and snatches the ball away from his frame to make the reception in stride. Tracks the pass in the air, gets vertical and comes away with the difficult reception in a crowd. Remains disciplined with routes, settles into the open spot of the defense and plays heads-up football. Gives effort and lays out or extends for the difficult catch.

Possesses a smaller frame and struggles in battles. Hears footsteps on occasion. Plays to one speed and isn’t a deep threat.

Lovett turned in two productive seasons at Georgia after transferring from Missouri, catching 113 passes the past two seasons. He's a smaller possession wideout who would benefit by displaying return skills in camp this summer.
O'Donnell Fortune
South Carolina
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized corner who displayed consistent improvement in his game. Stays with assignments, works to track the pass in the air and possesses a nice move to the throw. Displays a burst out of his plant, is quick to close and displays excellent hands for the interception. Instinctive facing the action and nicely times pass defenses. Gives effort against the run.

Struggles staying on the receiver’s hip out of breaks. Gives up a lot of receptions. Possesses a thin build and poor playing strength.

Fortune possesses the size to play on Sundays and offers possibilities in zone or man coverage, possessing the skills to line up in dime packages.
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Florida
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Large lineman with growth potential who blocks with solid fundamentals. Displays terrific vision, consistently stays square and is phenomenal using his hands. Bends his knees, blocks with solid pad level and keeps his feet moving off the edge. Anchors in pass protection and seals defenders from the action. Explodes into run blocks.

Lacks footwork and balance in pass protection. Not quick to the second level. Really doesn't finish run blocks.

Upon transferring to Florida after starting three seasons at Stan San Diego State, Crenshaw-Dixon was one of the Gators’ most consistent offensive lineman last year. He's a developmental prospect who must fill out his frame and improve his run blocking strength to make a roster, yet Crenshaw-Dixon comes with upside.
Connor Colby
Iowa
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized Interior offensive lineman who gets the most from his ability. Starts with excellent knee bend, fires into blocks and is explosive at the point. Keeps his feet and hands working throughout the action, displays solid footwork in pass protection and stays square. Strong and seals defenders from the action. Controls opponents in one-on-one blocking situations and battles in the middle of the line.

Struggles to adjust. Average athlete who displays marginal ability blocking in motion. Has shown too much inconsistency in his game.

Colby possesses solid size as well as growth potential and offers potential as a power gap lineman if he fills out his frame.
Antwane Wells Jr.
Mississippi
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized wideout who rebounded well after missing most of 2023 with injury. Physical, uses his hands to separate from defenders and displays excellent route discipline. Quickly gets in and out of routes, consistently extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target and makes the reception away from his frame. Comes back to the football, plays with outstanding body control and works to make himself an available target. Gets vertical in a crowd, nicely times receptions and makes the contested grab. Easily adjusts or contorts to the errant throw. Plays with outstanding awareness.

Lacks deep speed as well as a burst and isn’t a vertical threat. Caught just 28 passes last season, though six of them resulted in touchdowns, after missing all but three games in 2023 with a foot injury.

Prior to his injury two years ago, Wells was highly considered in the scouting community as a Day 2 pick. He's a surehanded wideout who plays with excellent instinct while possessing next-level receiving skills. Though he wasn’t very productive last season, Wells could turn into one of the steals on the third day of the draft once he gets his game back on track.
Jaylen Reed
Penn State
S
Ht:
Wt:
King-sized safety who is best defending the run and covering the pass between the numbers. Works to keep the action in front of him, takes proper angles to plays and flows well laterally. Plays heads-up football, stays with assignments and shows ability in zone. Uses his hands well, sells out to defend the run and is a strong tackler. Instinctive, gets teammates in proper position and quarterbacks the secondary.

Does not show great speed or range in center field. Best playing downhill.

Reed showed terrific improvement in his game last season and watched his production take off. He possesses the size as well as the speed to play on Sundays and offers potential as a zone safety or traditional strong safety.
Eugene Asante
Auburn
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized but explosive linebacker who flies around the football. Breaks down well and is very quick. Effective with his hands, fast moving in every direction and has an explosive closing burst. Fires upfield, sells out to defend the run and plays with a vicious attitude. Effective pedaling in reverse, gets depth on pass drops and shows skill in coverage or making plays in space.

Bites on ball fakes and gets caught out of position. Struggles taking on blocks.

After an outstanding campaign in 2023 when he recorded 86 tackles, Asante struggled with injuries last year, and his game took a step back. He is an explosive one-gap linebacker who could back up on Sundays.
Eli Cox
Kentucky
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Four-year starter who lined up at both guard and center. Explosive, keeps his feet moving and stays square. Very quick, blocks with leverage and turns defenders from the action to open running lanes. Fires into blocks, immediately gets his hands into defenders and works through the whistle. Displays outstanding vision and quarterbacks the offensive line. Quick to the second level and effective blocking in motion.

Lacks power, gets knocked around in the middle of the line and does not get much movement run blocking.

Cox was durable and productive during his time at Kentucky and offers position versatility as well as growth potential. He has enough skill and upside to develop into a starter down the road.
Kalel Mullings
Michigan
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Powerful ball carrier coming off a career season. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and shows terrific strength as a runner. Breaks tackles, rarely gets brought down by a single defender and falls forward when tackled. Displays solid footwork in a small area, will pick and choose his spots and squeezes between blockers to get through the running lanes. Possesses outstanding vision, works runs and follows blocks everywhere on the field. Gets a lot of momentum going and can be tough to stop. Picks up blocking assignments, stays square and attacks opponents. Does a terrific job picking up the blitz.

More of a power runner who lacks the speed to beat defenders into the open field Turned in one big year of production. Combined for eight receptions the past two seasons.

Mullings was the third option at running back from Michigan in 2023 before becoming the primary ball carrier last year and rushing for 948 yards with 12 TDs. He's more of a downhill, between-the-tackles ball carrier who will be a solid Day 3 pick for a team needing a short-yardage or goal-line running back.
Sai'vion Jones
LSU
DT
Ht:
Wt:
College defensive end who projects to the inside on Sundays. Consistently gets leverage on opponents, fires off the snap with a quick first step and is effective with his hands. Explosive, agile and moves well laterally. Bends off the edge and chases the action in pursuit. Works hard defending the run and rushing the passer.

Struggles getting off blocks and gets handled by a single opponent. Average pass rusher. Streaky and flashed ability rather than playing consistently productive football.

Jones showed a lot of skill at defensive end for LSU, but he really stood out when he lined up at defensive tackle during Senior Bowl practice. He possesses the athleticism, quickness and upside to be used as a rotational defensive lineman in a four-man front.
Elijhah Badger
Florida
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Arizona State transfer who was a productive three-year starter and presented himself as a big-play wideout last season. Very quick and immediately gets to top speed off the line of scrimmage. Sells routes, tracks the pass in the air and gets vertical over defenders to win out for the contested throw. Sneaky fast, effectively times receptions and makes the over-the-shoulder catch at full speed in stride. Extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target and plucks the ball from the air. Competes to come away with the difficult grab. Flashes open-field running ability when the ball is in his hands. Gives effort blocking.

Lacks the second gear and isn’t a true vertical threat. Must improve his route running.

Badger was productive the two seasons he started at Arizona State and was Florida's big-play threat last season, averaging 20.7 yards on 39 receptions. He's a small and agile receiver with reliable hands who could make a roster as a as the fifth wideout.
Jalen McLeod
Auburn
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Consistent run-defending linebacker with an explosive style. Agile, flexible and very quick. Uses his hands well, is rarely off his feet and plays aggressive football. Displays good change-of-direction skills, quickly closes to the action and attacks opposing ball handlers. Effective in pursuit, covers a good amount of area and gets depth on pass drops. Quickly locates the ball handler and easily redirects to the action.

Not a surehanded tackler and has opponents running through his arms. Not forceful on the blitz. Struggled in coverage drills during Senior Bowl practices.

McLeod is an explosive run-and-chase linebacker, though he’s more of a two-down defender. He possesses the temperament to play special teams and can make a roster as an eighth linebacker.
Robert Longerbeam
Rutgers
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Feisty but undersized cornerback who is best facing the action. Shows good recognition of assignments in zone, stays with receivers on crossing patterns and quickly diagnoses plays. Plays faster than his 40 time, displays the speed necessary to recover and has a closing burst. Willingly takes on bigger opponents and gives effort defending the run.

Slow transitioning with receivers and often finds himself trailing them downfield. Must improve his hip flip.

Though small in stature, Longerbeam plays aggressive football and does not back down from a challenge. After breaking up 21 passes the past two seasons, he’s best facing the action and can be used as a dime back in zone coverage or backed off the line of scrimmage.
Caleb Ransaw
Tulane
S
Ht:
Wt:
Tough and physical defensive back who is highly regarded in many areas of the scouting community. Instinctive, quickly locates the action and chases hard to get involved. Immediately picks up assignments, fires upfield to defend the run and throws his body around the action. Engages receivers off the snap, mixes it up throughout the route and works to get his head back around to track the pass in the air. Quickly locates the ball and comes off his assignment to make the tackle. Physically beats down receivers to defend passes.

Sort of an in-between prospect who is part cornerback and part safety. Late transitioning off the line in man coverage and trails receivers downfield. Marginally productive, totaling 33 tackles last season and not intercepting a single pass.

Ransaw was graded by some scouts as a potential Day 2 pick entering the season, yet he never truly elevated his game. He's a size/speed prospect who can make a roster as an eighth defensive back that also lines up on special teams.
Xavier Truss
Georgia
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Three-year starter who is experienced at guard as well as both tackle positions. Explosive, stays with blocks and always looks for someone to hit. Stays square, keeps his feet moving and seals defenders from the action. Possesses excellent blocking vision, picks up blitzes and stunts and out-positions defenders from the action. Easily controls defenders run blocking and turns them from the line to open the running lanes.

Struggles sliding in pass protection and lacks footwork. Stiff, which hurts his ability to finish blocks. Not a natural knee bender.

Truss was durable as well as productive at Georgia and comes with next-level size. He possesses an upside and at the very least should be an invaluable swing blocker who could back up for multiple positions on the offensive line.
Isaiah Neyor
Nebraska
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Large, athletic receiver starting to hit his stride. Fluid, athletic and displays solid deep speed. Tracks the pass in the air, gets vertical and contorts to the errant throw. Tracks the pass in the air, displays eye/hand coordination and works to make the reception away from his frame. Agile as well as flexible. Offers the quarterback a big target. Gives effort blocking downfield and gets results.

Rough around the edges and more athlete than football player at this point. Doesn't show great field awareness. Drops some catchable throws and does not always win out for the contested pass.

Neyor bounced around during his college years, starting at Wyoming and moving to Texas before finishing up at Nebraska, where he had a solid campaign. He's a developmental prospect with a huge upside, much of which he showed during three days of Shrine Bowl practice, when he was outstanding. Neyor could end up a late-round steal and be a really good NFL receiver if coached properly.
Jay Toia
UCLA
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Large and relatively athletic defensive lineman coming off a disappointing season. Plays with proper pad level, works his hands throughout the action and moves incredibly well for a bigger defensive tackle. Quick, effective when asked to twist or stunt and explodes through the gaps upfield. Possesses a quick first step off the snap.

Plays more like a one-gap defender despite his size. Easily controlled at the point by a single blocker. Not much of a pass rusher. Watched his production steadily fall off the past three seasons.

Toia looks the part and occasionally plays to it, yet he has shown little progress in his game since 2022. He possesses the size to be used at nose tackle and the athleticism to line up in a variety of schemes, yet Toia must take his game to the next level to have a career in the NFL.
Seth Coleman
Illinois
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated linebacker who shows ability in all areas of the position. Explosive, instinctive and relentless. Terrific pass rusher who can bend off the edge, immediately change direction or alter his angle of attack. Effective with his hands, moves well laterally to chase plays in pursuit and keeps his feet moving. Breaks down well, effectively uses his hands to protect himself and is forceful on the blitz. Gives effort as a pass rusher and run defender. Rarely off his feet. Stays with assignments, quickly locates the ball handler and remains disciplined.

Controlled by a single blocker or sealed from the action. Does not show great pursuit speed despite his 40 time. Did not show much improvement as a senior.

The past two seasons, Coleman has been one of the more underrated 3-4 outside linebacker prospects in the nation. He's displayed ability as a pass rusher and run defender and can even cover the pass in space. At best a late-round pick, Coleman has the tools necessary to be a situational pass rusher/special-teams player on Sundays.
Isas Waxter
Villanova
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized college cornerback who also offers possibilities at safety on Sundays. Disciplined, effectively diagnoses plays and competes. Physical, jams receivers at the line of scrimmage and mixes it up throughout routes. Quick flipping his hips in transition, shows the ability to stay on the receiver’s hip out of routes and has a nice move to the throw. Very effective facing the action. Fires upfield to defend the run and flies around the ball.

Late following receivers off the line in man or press coverage. Doesn't show much quickness and possesses an average close. Does a lot of faceguarding and is slow getting his head back around to track the pass in the air.

Waxter was a consistent and productive small-school cornerback who was rarely challenged by opponents. Best facing the action, he projects as either a zone cornerback or safety.
Brashard Smith
SMU
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Miami transfer coming off a career season. Patient, will choose his spots and easily cuts back against the grain. Displays terrific vision, follows blocks everywhere on the field and consistently finds the running lanes. Smooth, has a burst through the hole and creates yardage. Terrific pass catcher out of the backfield.

Not a stout or physical runner. Easily tackled by the initial defender. Does little more than get in the way as a blocker.

Barely a blip on the scouting radar prior to this season, Smith rushed for 1,332 yards and 14 TDs in 2024. He possesses the skills to line up as a third-down back, though Smith must pick up the intensity and start doing the little things well.
Khari Coleman
Mississippi
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Run-and-chase linebacker who plays with excellent speed. Aggressive and easily changes direction. Quick chasing plays laterally in pursuit, plays with a lot of athleticism and covers a good amount of area on the field. Quickly recognizes and stays with assignments, slides off blocks and fires to the action to make tackles against the run. Fluid pedaling in reverse, gets depth on drops and takes proper angles to the action.

Undersized and gets caught up in the trash. Occasionally gets caught out of position. Moderately productive throughout his college career and never truly stood out. Coming off a somewhat disappointing campaign.

Coleman is a quick, one-gap pursuit linebacker who does the little things well. Though he never truly improved his game last season, he does possess an upside and could make a roster that keeps nine linebackers.
Branson Taylor
Pittsburgh
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized tackle with upside. Patient, starts with good knee bend and consistently stays square. Keeps his feet moving, makes outstanding use of angles as well as body positioning and rides pass rushers from their angles of attack. Strong, turns defenders off the line and blocks down to smother opponents.

Heavy-footed and lacks ability in motion. Does not display top footwork in pass protection or range off the edge. Suffered a season-ending injury midway through the 2024 campaign after battling injuries the prior season.

Pittsburgh’s starting at left tackle the past two seasons, Taylor has the size and style to be a right tackle in the NFL. He must show durability and take his game to the next level, yet he’s a solid future prospect.
Daniel Jackson
Minnesota
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Reliable pass catcher coming off a career season. Solid route runner who quickly gets in and out of breaks and separates from defenders. Tracks the pass in the air, displays eye/hand coordination and effectively times receptions. Uses his frame to shield away defenders, extends to grab the ball away from his body and quickly transitions upfield after the catch. Comes back to the ball out of routes, uses the sidelines well and works to make himself an available target. Physical, does not back down from a challenge and makes a lot of difficult catches.

Possesses average size and speed. Was never a home-run threat at Minnesota. Must improve his blocking.

Jackson was a dependable pass catcher for Minnesota and a fundamentally sound receiver who does the little things well. He lacks vertical speed, yet he could be a very productive fifth receiver in a timing offense.
Nate Carter
Michigan State
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Connecticut transfer coming off a career season. Creative ball carrier who displays outstanding vision and patience and improvises when plays break down. Quick, displays an outstanding burst through the hole and runs with authority. Beats defenders into the open field, can run to daylight and plays much faster than his 40 time. Possesses outstanding running instincts, slips off defenders and runs with an aggressive style. Keeps his feet moving and falls forward when tackled. Possesses a tremendous stutter step, makes defenders miss and avoid piles. Outstanding pass catcher who gets downfield and comes away with the difficult reception. Nicely adjusts to the errant throw and consistently catches the ball with his hands. Gives effort blocking and helps the quarterback sell ball fakes.

Lacks top computer numbers. Was used more in a rotational role for Michigan State. Doesn’t move the pile or display himself as a top perimeter ball carrier.

Carter was effective as a ball carrier and pass catcher out of the backfield, consistently producing whenever the ball was in his hands. He's a situational player who will be underdrafted because of poor size and speed.
Kaimon Rucker
North Carolina
EDGE
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized one-gap pass rusher who was productive at North Carolina four years running. Plays with excellent pad level and leverage and is rarely off his feet. Tough, sells out and slices between blocks while displaying a solid inside move. Fast rushing off the edge, effective with his hands and gives great effort. Explosive, easily changes direction and works hard.

Possesses an average closing burst and marginal pursuit speed. Short and lacks growth potential. Easily out-positioned by a single blocker. Can be a liability against the run.

Rucker was a terrific pass rusher at North Carolina the past two seasons, totaling 14.5 sacks as well as 23 TFLs. He possesses poor measurables as well as average speed, which will be a red flag for a lot of teams, yet Rucker is a high-effort prospect who always gets the most from his ability.
Marcus Yarns
Delaware
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Creative and productive skill player who is effective carrying the ball and catching it. Patient, displays excellent running vision and quickly locates the open lanes. Quick-footed, immediately cuts back against the grain without losing momentum and will pick and choose his spots all over the field. Effectively uses blocks, has a burst and keeps his feet moving. Outstanding open-field runner who possesses the agility to turn the corner and consistently works to pick up positive yardage. Gives effort on the inside and does not go down without a fight. Displays good route discipline as a pass catcher out of the backfield, snatches the ball away from his frame and displays soft hands. Displays excellent vision as a blocker and stays with assignments.

Not a big back who picks up much yardage off initial contact. Struggled with injuries as a senior.

Yarns is a multipurpose ball carrier with a nose for the end zone. He'll be one of the better third-down/situational backs in this draft and will be a steal on the final day of the draft.
Nash Hutmacher
Nebraska
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Strong, wide-bodied interior defensive lineman who clogs the middle of the field. Plays with excellent pad level, gets leverage on opponents and is forceful up the field. Powerful, holds his ground against double-team blocks and effectively uses his hands to protect himself. Gets off the snap with a quick first step and plays through the whistle.

Must develop more moves and be quicker disengaging from blocks. Small-area defender who is ineffective outside the box. Not much of a pass rusher. Played better as a junior in 2023 than he did last season.

Hutmacher is a hard-working, lunch-pail type of defensive lineman who does the little things well. Not much of a playmaker, he's a gap occupier and offers possibilities as a nose tackle.
Luke Newman
Michigan State
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Holy Cross transfer with potential at a variety of spots on the offensive line. Quickly gets into blocks, fluidly gets to the second level and moves well around the field. Keeps his feet moving, stays square and seals defenders from the action. Explosive, plays like a good athlete and blocks with leverage. Fundamentally sound, anchors in pass protection and looks to hit as many defenders as possible off a single snap.

Lacks strength at the point of attack and does not get movement run blocking. Bends at the waist and overextends on occasion.

After holding down the left tackle spot for Holy Cross, Newman transferred to Michigan State and had a successful season at guard. He's a zone-blocking prospect who must add bulk and strength, yet Newman comes with an upside.
Kain Medrano
UCLA
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated yet athletic linebacker who displays a three-down game. Instinctive, disciplined and stays with assignments. Quick moving in every direction of the field and agile. Effective in pursuit and fast moving laterally. Breaks down well and works hard. Redirects off blocks or immediately alters his angle of attack and has a closing burst. Secure tackler who wraps up opponents and brings them down in the open field. Makes the defensive calls and gets his teammates in proper position.

Lacks size and isn’t a stout linebacker. Gets caught up in the trash.

Medrano displayed consistent development in his game the past three seasons and improved in every area of the linebacker position. He's an athletic one-gap defender who could back up on Sundays as well as stand out on special teams.
Jamaal Pritchett
South Alabama
WR
Ht:
Wt:
A small yet super productive receiver coming off a tremendous season. Quick in his all-around game, runs outstanding routes and stays low exiting breaks, positioning himself to make the reception. Tracks the pass in the air, gets vertical and competes to come away with the difficult catch. Comes across the middle of the field to make himself an available target, adjusts to the throw and effectively times receptions. Possesses soft hands and the ability to snatch the ball out of the air and is effective running after the catch. Combined for 148 receptions and more than 2,000 receiving yards the past two seasons.

Loses out in battles and gets physically beaten down by defenders. Comes with limited growth potential. Lacks a true second gear.

Pritchett is a natural pass catcher who was incredibly productive for South Alabama and has enough ability to line up as a slot receiver/return specialist on Sundays.
Glendon Miller
Maryland
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized cornerback who flashes ability. Effective facing the action, quickly diagnoses plays and works hard to get involved. Fast in every direction and displays a solid closing burst and the ability to recover. Tracks the pass in the air, displays a nice move to the throw and effectively times pass defenses. Battles throughout the route, stays on the receiver’s hip and displays skills in man coverage. Possesses good hands for the interception.

Can be slow to react to receivers’ moves off the line of scrimmage. Often a half-step behind opponents when placed over the slot receiver. Does not always take proper angles to the action defending screen throws. Very streaky player.

Despite a solid 2023 campaign, Miller was barely on the scouting radar coming into the season. He possesses next-level size and has shown a lot of ball skills as well as playmaking ability. He's a feisty cornerback with a lot of upside, yet he who must finish his game.

Kurtis Rourke
Indiana
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Patient pocket passer who has been very productive throughout his career. Remains poised, scans the field and knows where his receivers are. Natural looking off the safety, buys as much time as possible and takes a big hit to get the throw away. Senses the rush, steps up to avoid defenders and gets outside the pocket to buy additional time. Possesses great clairvoyance for what's happening on the field, shows a sense of timing on passes and does a great job protecting the football. Recorded 29 TDs to just five interceptions last year. Accurate, gives receivers a chance to make the reception and uses all his targets. Scans the field searching for the open wideout and looks away from covered targets. Elusive with the ability to avoid defenders and pick up yardage with his legs. Always in control of the situation.

Deep passes lack accuracy. Has never shown the ability to drive the deep throw. Not an RPO quarterback despite his elusiveness. Played most of last season with a torn knee ligament that was surgically repaired in January.

Rourke was one of the better stories in college football last year, and after three successful years as a starter at Ohio, he transferred to Indiana then led the program into the College Football Playoff. He possesses a tremendous head for the game and intuition at quarterback that, despite his knee injury, should help him get selected on the final day of the draft and eventually find a home as an invaluable backup on Sundays.
Lan Larison
UC-Davis
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Multipurpose skill player who is active as a ball carrier and pass catcher. Patient, incredibly quick and will pick and choose his spots. Possesses outstanding instincts as well as running vision, quickly cuts back against the grain and has a burst through the hole. Shows tremendous footwork and runs with outstanding balance as well as body control. Waits for blocks to develop and follows them everywhere on the field. Shows the ability to break arm tackles. Plays faster than his 40 time and beats defenders into the open field. Solid pass catcher who quickly gets out into pass routes, tracks the pass in the air and adjusts to make the reception in stride. Shows eye/hand coordination and reliable hands. Gives effort blocking.

Not a sturdy back who moves piles. Possesses more of a burst rather than long speed and cannot run to daylight. Lacks true perimeter speed.

Larison is a productive small-school back who rushed for more than 1,000 yards each of the past two seasons and hauled in 61 receptions last year. He possesses a nice build as well as football intellect and will be a terrific Day 3 pick for a team that needs a third-down back or situational runner.
Roc Taylor
Memphis
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Large possession receiver with reliable hands. Tracks the pass in the air and displays eye/hand coordination as well as a sense of timing. Adjusts to the errant throw, reaches back and makes the reception in stride. Uses his large frame to shield away defenders and protect the pass. Consistently extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame. Displays some quickness exiting breaks, uses the sidelines well and comes back into the clearing to make himself an available target. Sells routes, effectively makes the reception on crossing patterns and gets vertical then contorts to come away with the contested grab.

Lazily comes off the line at times. Average route runner. Lacks deep speed and a second gear.

Taylor was a productive possession receiver who watched his game take off the past two seasons for Memphis. He possesses the size and pass-catching skill to get late-round consideration and could line up as a fifth receiver on Sundays.
Darius Alexander
Toledo
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized interior lineman who flashes athleticism. Fires off the snap with an explosive first step, is quick in all his actions and consistently gets leverage on opponents. Plays with balance as well as body control, works his hands throughout the action and gets focused on by opponents. Takes up a good amount of room in the middle of the line, keeps his feet moving and works to make plays.

Plays more like a one-gap tackle and struggles getting off blocks. Must develop more moves with his hands. Not much of a pass rusher.

Alexander possesses next-level size as well as speed and showed development in his game, though he must get stronger and improve in all areas.
Hayden Conner
Texas
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized, small-area lineman who gets the most from his ability. Starts with exceptional knee bend, stays square and sets with a wide base. Effective with his hands, anchors in pass protection and displays impressive run-blocking strength. Knocks opposing defenders back off the ball to clear the running lanes. Keeps his head on a swivel and always looks for someone to hit.

Not light on his feet or quick to the second level and gets average results blocking in motion. Struggles to adjust.

Connor is a nice-sized interior lineman with limited upside, but he can slide in as a backup for a power gap scheme.
Nohl Williams
California
CB
Ht:
Wt:
UNLV transfer coming off a career season. Engages receivers at the line of scrimmage, mixes it up with opponents throughout the route and works hard to knock away passes. Quick flipping his hips in transition, stays with receivers out of breaks and has a nice burst to the ball. Instinctive, effective facing the play and quickly recognizes the action. Fires upfield and sells out to defend the run.

Must be more consistent pedaling in reverse. Gathers before planting and driving to the ball. Deep speed is a concern.

Williams comes off a career campaign where he intercepted seven passes and broke up eight more. He possesses the measurables to play on Sundays and enough skill to be used in dime packages.
Carter Runyon
Towson
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Former receiver who projects as a move tight end on Sundays. Fluid releasing off the line, displays good route discipline and tracks the pass in the air. Adjusts to the errant throw, possesses soft hands and makes the reception away from his frame. Flashes athleticism, makes the tough catch in a crowd and takes a pounding yet holds onto the throw. Starts with knee bend as a blocker, gives effort and possesses good blocking vision.

Plays to one speed and isn’t a true deep threat. Must improve his blocking strength.

Runyon made a smooth transition from receiver to tight end last year and displays a lot of potential. He still needs work on his game but has enough ability to make a roster as a third tight end.
Hollin Pierce
Rutgers
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Massive offensive tackle with surprising athleticism. Stays square, blocks with proper lean and gets his hands into defenders then turns them from the action. Keeps his head on a swivel, always looks for someone to hit and shows strength at the point. Makes excellent use of angles, gets movement run blocking and consistently stays square.

Heavy-footed and ineffective blocking in motion. Lacks footwork off the edge. Struggles finishing blocks in pass protection.

Entering the season graded as a lowly free-agent prospect, Pierce was a terrific left tackle for Rutgers then performed well during three days of Shrine Bowl practice. He's a right tackle prospect who possesses the size and skill to back up on Sundays.
Elijah Ponder
Cal-Poly
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized small-school pass rusher who projects to outside linebacker on Sundays. Athletic, plays with leverage and covers a lot of area on the field. Quick up the field and can bend the edge and flatten to pursue from the back side. Displays a good change of direction, works his hands throughout the action and is rarely off his feet. Quickly locates the ball handler, gives effort against the run and wraps up tackling. Plays with balance as well as body control and flashes an explosive first step off the snap. Shows the ability to stay within his pass-rush angle and disrupt the opponent’s game plan.

Undersized and gets easily out-positioned by opponents. Comes off a somewhat disappointing senior season. Did not show a great closing burst last year.

Ponder was an effective pass rusher on the small-school level who opponents had to game plan around. He offers potential as a situational pass rusher primarily standing over tackle on Sundays, yet he must earn his wage on special teams.
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Virginia Tech
EDGE
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized, one-gap pass rusher who fires off the snap with an explosive first step, displays ability out of a three-point stance or standing over tackle and plays incredibly hard. Effective with his hands and gets leverage on opponents. Agile and rarely off his feet. Quickly diagnoses plays and is relentless in pursuit. Totals last season included 16 sacks and 19 TFLs.

Small and marginally athletic. Taken from the action or easily blocked by a single opponent. Doesn't show great speed in backside pursuit. Marginal upside.

Powell-Ryland is an intense and high-effort prospect who gets the most from his ability and exceeded the expectations of scouts last season. He has limitations, yet he has enough ability to make a roster as a situational pass rusher.
Jake Majors
Texas
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Durable four-year starter who gets the most from his ability. Fundamentally sound, quickly sets up off the snap and keeps his feet moving. Fires to the second level, consistently blocks with leverage and stays square. Fights throughout the action and jolts defenders with terrific hand punch. Displays outstanding vision, gets fits on linebackers blocking in motion and seals them from the action. More athletic than his computer numbers would lend one to believe. Intelligent and effectively quarterbacks the offensive line.

Not a great athlete. Struggles adjusting. Must improve his strength and gets knocked back off the line occasionally. Arms measured under 30 1/2 inches at the combine.



Majors was a consistent force for the Longhorns and possesses the smarts and resiliency to back up on Sundays.
Xavier Carlton
California
EDGE
Ht:
Wt:
Quick, explosive pass rusher who plays with a nasty attitude. Gets leverage on opponents, bends the edge and flattens from the back side. Forceful up the field, effectively uses his hands and fights to get off blocks. Gives effort rushing the passer and defending the run. Consistently plays with proper pad level, nicely slides down the line of scrimmage and immediately locates the ball handler. Effective out of a three-point stance and standing over tackle and displays a spin move to get off blocks.

Possesses an average closing burst. Gets knocked around on running downs despite his size. Struggles facing off against big offensive tackles.

Carlton showed a lot of development as a pass rusher for California and totaled a career-best 11 TFLs and nine sacks last year. He possesses decent size as well as growth potential and should only improve as he physically matures and adds strength to his game.
Carson Vinson
Alabama A&M
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized collegiate left tackle with both growth and playing potential. Patient, works to bend his knees and stays square. Quickly sets up off the snap, immediately gets his hands into defenders and jolts opponents with excellent hand punch. Displays outstanding vision as well as awareness, works blocks hard and plays through the whistle. Explosive, does enough to turn defenders from the action and always looks for someone to hit.

Lack smooth and fluid footwork off the edge. Doesn't sink his butt at the line of scrimmage. Lacks agility, which hurts his ability to finish blocks.

Vinson has been a terrific left tackle at Alabama A&M, but his lack of footwork and growth potential is likely to push him to the right side or even inside to guard. He's a developmental prospect who, at the very least, should make a practice squad this fall.
Maxwell Brosmer
Minnesota
QB
Ht:
Wt:
New Hampshire transfer who acquitted himself well in the Big Ten last season. Patient in the pocket, remains poised under the rush and goes to the safe underneath outlet rather than forcing the ball into covered targets. Displays a sense of timing on passes, does not have receivers waiting for the ball and consistently finds the open wideout. Uses all his targets and spreads the ball around. Has a live arm and puts speed on short as well as intermediate passes. Does an outstanding job setting up screen throws.

Lacks a deep arm and cannot drive long throws. Lacks accuracy on longer passes and misses wide-open receivers. Must improve his pass placement, as he is consistently throwing behind receivers and giving defensive backs a chance to break on the ball.

Brosmer did a solid job his only season at Minnesota, completing 67 percent of his throws, and then he showed well during Shrine Bowl practices. He shown enough ability to get consideration for a practice squad next season.
Torricelli Simpkins III
South Carolina
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Former small-school offensive lineman who is experienced at both center and guard. Sets with a wide base, bends his knees and plays with outstanding pad level. Keeps his feet moving, keeps his head on a swivel and is explosive at the point. Strong, squares into defenders and turns them from the line to open running lanes. Fundamentally sound and consistently out-positions defenders from the action. Possesses good vision, works well with linemates and plays through the whistle.

Late with his hands. Bends at the waist. Struggles sliding in space. Tested horribly during combine workouts.

Simpkins was a lineman I first watched at South Carolina State before his transfer to the Gamecocks. He’s shown a lot of skill as well as versatility in his game and projects as an inexpensive utility blocker on Sundays.
Micah Mazzccua
Nebraska
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Tough, underrated small-area blocker who played for Baylor then Florida before finishing his career with Nebraska. Starts with good knee bend, fires off the snap and is explosive at the point. Strong, blocks with proper pad level and gets movement run blocking. Fires his hands into defenders, stays square and keeps opponents away. Opens up the running lanes and seals defenders from the action. Keeps his head on a swivel and always looks to hit someone.

Struggled with injury last season and only played nine games. Not a super athletic or mobile lineman. Never really established himself in one place.

Mazzccua is a nice-sized interior lineman who was productive when he was on the football field. More of a power gap lineman, he also shows ability on the second level, which is appealing. He comes with a large upside and should get consideration in the very late rounds of the draft.
Benjamin Yurosek
Georgia
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Former Stanford tight end who watched his production and game drop off the past two seasons. Sturdy, gets up in a crowd, extends his hands and comes away with the difficult catch. Offers the quarterback a big target and takes a pounding yet comes away with the reception. Tracks the pass in the air, adjusts backwards and consistently grabs the ball away from his frame. Blocks with terrific leverage, keeps his feet moving and is strong at the point.

Lacks a quick release off the line of scrimmage and plays to one speed. Went from catching 49 passes as a sophomore at Stanford in 2022 to a combined 31 receptions the past two years.

At one time considered a middle-round pick by NFL scouts, Yurosek watched his production drop off significantly due to a variety of factors. At the top of his game, Yurosek offers enough pass-catching and blocking skills to line up as third tight end on Sundays.
Elijah Roberts
SMU
EDGE
Ht:
Wt:
Athletic one-gap defensive lineman who shows ability as a pass rusher. Very quick, plays with excellent knee bend as well as leverage and uses his hands well. Effective out of a three-point stance as well as standing over tackle, keeps his feet moving and bends off the edge to make plays upfield. Strong for his size, fluid when asked to twist or stunt and works through blocks to make plays. Quickly locates the ball handler and gives effort defending the run.

Lacks bulk and is easily out-positioned by a single blocker. Very slow getting off blocks. Inconsistent get-off from the snap.

Roberts possesses the size and speed as well as the growth potential to play on Sundays. The pass-rushing ability he's displayed the past two seasons is attractive, and Roberts should only improve as he adds strength to his frame.
Efton Chism
Eastern Washington
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Super productive small-school receiver who cannot be covered. Possesses great intellect and awareness, consistently finds the open spot on the field and comes back to the football to make himself an available target. Incredibly quick, runs outstanding routes and separates from defenders out of breaks. Possesses soft as well as strong hands, tracks the pass in the air and makes the reception away from his frame. Does an outstanding job making the catch on crossing patterns. Gets vertical, effectively times receptions and looks the ball into his hands. Plays with outstanding balance as well as body control. Gives effort blocking downfield and competes to come away with the difficult catch.

Plays faster than his 40 time yet is more quick than fast. Lacks great size.

Chism was the go-to receiver opponents could not stop, totaling 120 receptions, 1,311 yards and 13 TDs as a senior. He was reliable with a nose for the end zone. Though he lacks next-level size/speed numbers, his football intellect and natural pass-catching abilities gives him a realistic chance to make a roster next fall.
Donovan Edwards
Michigan
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Physically gifted ball carrier who is patient, smooth and athletic. Agile, fluid cutting back against the grain and squeezes through the small openings of the offensive line. Easily changes direction, shows a burst of speed and plays faster than his 40 time. Quick-footed in a small area with the ability to make defenders miss. Terrific pass catcher out of the backfield who adjusts to the errant throw and snatches the ball away from his frame. Shows good blocking vision, picks up blitzes and stays square.

Showed a lot of indecision and hesitancy during a disappointing 2024 season. Often continues running laterally rather than turning upfield or just runs into piles. Must improve his blocking strength.

Much was expected from Edwards last season, yet he failed to meet expectations. Rather than be the featured ball carrier in Michigan's offense, he continued to be a backup and situational runner. Edwards has all the physical skills to be a No. 1 back at the next level, yet he must really elevate his game and improve the consistency of his production.
Mehki Butler
Arkansas State
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Large, wide-bodied blocker who is best in a small area. Starts with excellent knee bend and quickly gets into blocks. Explosive at the point. Stays square, works blocks and knocks defenders back off the line. Works his hands throughout the action, keeps his head on a swivel and works well with linemates. Controls defenders once engaged at the point of attack.

Lack smooth and quick footwork in space. Struggles in pass protection.

A small-area lineman with terrific power, Butler played reasonably well against Mason Graham of Michigan earlier this season. He was a consistent force on the Arkansas State line and projects as a Day 3 pick for a team that needs a power gap blocker.
Albert Gillie
Louisiana
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Durable four-year starter with potential in a variety of blocking schemes. Very quick off the snap, blocks with leverage and is explosive at the point. Immediately gets his hands into defenders, stays square and anchors at the point, controlling defenders once engaged in a block. Keeps his head on a swivel, works to hit as many defenders as possible and blocks with outstanding fundamentals. Does enough to turn defenders from the line of scrimmage on running downs.

Lack smooth and fluid footwork in space and gets off-balance in pass protection. Struggles adjusting.

Gillie is an underrated offensive line prospect who could potentially back up in a zone or power scheme. He plays with great fundamentals, comes with an upside and should get consideration in the late rounds.
Power Echols
North Carolina
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Small yet explosive pursuit linebacker who makes plays in every direction of the field. Fast, displays tremendous speed in pursuit and covers a lot of area on the field. Picks up assignments in coverage and easily runs downfield with opponents or follows them across the field. Explodes through the gaps in run defense, sells out to make the tackle and has a closing burst. Slides off blocks to defend the run, shows lateral speed and cuts off the corners from ball handlers. Breaks down well and is quick as well as fast.

Must polish his ball skills and does a lot of face guarding in coverage. Indecisive when the ball is in the air. Watched his production drop off significantly last year after two outstanding seasons.

Echols was a favorite of mine after he recorded 103 tackles as a sophomore, but he was not a big factor for North Carolina last season. He's an explosive one-gap defender who will flourish in a system that protects him and allows him to freely run to the ball.
CJ West
Indiana
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Tough, immovable nose tackle who began his college career at Kent State. Fires off the snap, keeps his feet moving and consistently defeats one-on-one blocks. Plays with exceptional leverage, commands double-team blocks and is impossible to move off the point. Resilient, agile and keeps his feet moving. Plays off blocks to get to the ball and effectively uses his hands. Explosive and displays outstanding first-step quickness.

Average pass rusher. Lacks height and gets engulfed by larger tackles. Was never a high-profile playmaker.

West significantly elevated his game last season and had three days of outstanding performances during Shrine Bowl practices. He possesses the height of a one-gap defensive yet the size and strength to be a two-gapper. West is versatile and will be a nice addition as a backup.
Greg Penn III
LSU
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Tough run-defending linebacker who has been productive the past three seasons. Quickly locates the ball handler, fights to get to the action and works to make plays. Breaks down well, effectively uses his hands and plays with a nasty attitude. Hard hitter who is explosive and quickly collapses inside-out defending the run. Has a closing burst and wraps up tackling.

Lacks great pursuit speed to the flanks. Struggles in coverage and does a lot of face guarding.

Penn is a hard-working run-defending linebacker who must improve his play in coverage and stand out on special teams to make an NFL roster.
Melvin Smith
Southern Arkansas
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Well-built and athletic small-school cornerback who doubles as a return specialist. Fluid transitioning with opponents off the line of scrimmage, quick-footed in reverse and mixes it up with receivers. Works well with safeties to bracket receivers over the middle of the field, stays with assignments and does a solid job diagnosing plays. Works his hands to get off blocks and fires upfield to defend the run. Explosive as well as quick.

Lacks desired length for the cornerback position. Played at an exceedingly low level of competition.

Smith, who was well-thought-of in the scouting community before the season, intercepted five passes last year and averaged just under 30 yards on seven kick returns. He needs to brush off his game, yet he comes with an upside and could very well end up as a dime back who is primarily used on special teams.
Charles Chambliss
Georgia
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Tough, instinctive defender who plays 100 miles per hour and gets the most from his ability. Breaks down well, remains disciplined with assignments and stays with the action. Quick, fights to make plays and is rarely off his feet. Bends off the edge as a pass rusher, uses his hands to protect himself and displays a good change direction. Takes proper angles to plays, nicely redirects and defends the run, making tackles in the open field.

Easily out-positioned by opponents or handled by a single blocker. Better making plays up the field rather than in reverse.

Chambliss is a utility pass rusher who can also defend the run in the box or laterally. He will be a terrific fit as a backup outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme and comes with a special-teams mentality.
Anderson Grover
Sacramento State
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Washington State transfer coming off a career year. Displays excellent awareness, easily tracks the pass in the air and comes back into the clearing to make himself an available target. Uses his frame to shield away defenders and extends his hands then snatches the ball away from his frame. Sturdy receiver. Possesses soft as well as strong hands. Gets vertical and high points the pass over opponents. Quickly releases off the line and stays low exiting breaks. Works to keep the play in bounds and pick up positive yardage after the catch. Gives effort blocking downfield.

Plays to one speed, lacks a burst and isn’t fast laterally on crossing patterns. Average production until last season. Unnecessarily lets the pass get inside him on occasion.

Grover possesses excellent length and consistent pass-catching hands, yet he lacks speed and quickness. He could line up as a possession wideout and make a team that keeps six receivers.
Myles Hinton
Michigan
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Former Stanford tackle coming off a disappointing season. Starts with good knee bend, quickly gets into blocks and makes proper use of angles. Fundamentally sound, stays square and anchors at the point. Patient in pass protection, keeps his head on a swivel and works well with linemates. Flashes strength as a run blocker and drives defenders off the line.

Lack smooth and fluid footwork off the edge and doesn't show much lateral range. Must be more consistent with his hand placement.

Hinton comes with great bloodlines who showed flashes of ability in 2023 after being used in a rotational system. He did not elevate his game last season, and in many ways his play went in reverse, which is a concern. He possesses an upside and offers possibilities in a power gap system, but he must build upon the ability he's previously shown.
Elijah Simmons
Tennessee
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Massive space-eating interior defensive lineman with an explosive style. Exceptionally quick, fires off the snap and plays with great pad level. Immediately gets his hands into defenders, plays with a nasty attitude and stays with the action. Moves well for a big man and displays the ability to get down the line of scrimmage in pursuit. Flashes power in his lower body.

Struggled with injury the past two seasons. Marginally productive and isn’t much of a pass rusher. Posted half a sack over his six-year college career.

Simmons is an explosive, wide-bodied gap occupier who possesses the physical ability and attitude to line up as a nose tackle.
Jay Higgins
Iowa
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Super-productive linebacker who is intelligent, instinctive and effectively makes the calls on defense. Immediately diagnoses plays and quickly locates the ball handler. Fires upfield to defend the run and wraps up tackling. Takes proper angles, covers a good amount of area on the field and shows ability in zone coverage. Sells out to make the play and is consistently around the action. Recorded 295 total tackles the past two seasons.

Does not time well in the 40. Displays average speed in pursuit. Gets caught up in the trash scraping laterally and is easily blocked from the action. Lack of size will result in mismatches against larger tight ends.

Despite lacking top computer numbers for the next level, Higgins is a tremendous football player and a very productive linebacker. There's a good chance he won’t be drafted, yet Higgins has enough ability to make a roster as an eighth linebacker/special-teams player.
Danny Striggow
Minnesota
EDGE
Ht:
Wt:
Hard-working pass rusher who is well-liked in many areas of the scouting world. Disciplined, stays with assignments and breaks down well. Uses his hands to protect himself, plays with leverage and slides down the line in pursuit of plays. Chases the action hard, does the little things well and makes plays as both a pass rusher and a run defender. Fast up the field and plays through the whistle.

Turned from the action by opposing tight ends or fullbacks. Lacks pursuit speed. Does not play like a good athlete.

Striggow is a jack of all trades who does the little things well and works hard to make plays. Some scouts believe he’s a Day 3 pick, yet I believe he will have to work his way up through the free-agent ranks. He projects as a backup 3-4 linebacker and comes with a special-teams mentality.
Makari Paige
Michigan
S
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated defensive back with solid size and speed. Instinctive, plays heads-up football and stays with coverage assignments. Effective facing the action, shows ability backed off the line of scrimmage and displays good hands for the interception. Tough run defender who is aggressive and works hard to get involved in the action.

Displays average quickness. Doesn't play to his 40 time, lacks a burst to the ball and possesses marginal deep speed. Not a stout tackler.

Paige was a productive nickel back from Michigan the past two seasons and possesses the size and underlying ball skills to play on Sundays. He needs to elevate his game, yet he could be effective as a zone safety and special-teams player.
Seth Hannigan
Memphis
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Super productive four-year starter who passed for almost 14,000 yards during his college career as well as 102 TDs. Patient in the pocket, natural looking off the safety and goes through progressions. Remains poised under the rush, steps up to buy time and keeps his eyes downfield. Stands in and takes a big hit to get the throw away, goes to the checkdown targets and puts touch on throws, delivering a catchable pass. Smart, does not make poor throws and protects the football. Throws the ball away rather than making the errant pass. Possesses outstanding poise and makes a lot of plays with his football intellect. Displays a sense of timing on throws. Possesses enough elusiveness to avoid defenders.

More of a game manager, possesses an average arm and struggles getting the ball through the tight spots. Often high of the mark when he tries to put extra speed on throws. Possesses a long, thin build and isn’t a great athlete.

Hannigan was a wonderful college quarterback and a great game manager who was always in control of the situation. He lacks next-level physical skills, yet he has enough intellect and football ability to make the roster of a timing offense as the third quarterback.
Ty Hamilton
Ohio State
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Small yet explosive three-technique lineman who plays with excellent fundamentals. Keeps his pads low to the ground and gets leverage on opponents. Fires off the snap and uses his hands to protect himself. Agile, slides off blocks and works to make plays against the run. Works his hands throughout the action, stays with assignments and quickly locates the ball handler.

Undersized and gets easily turned from the action or sealed from plays by a single opponent. Lacks bulk and strength.

Hamilton was a solid complementary player on the interior of Ohio State’s defensive line, yet he comes with limitations. He's a three-technique or one-gap defender with potential as a backup.
Jason Marshall Jr.
Florida
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Physically gifted cornerback who looks the part yet does not consistently play to it. Athletic, explosive and quick. Correctly diagnoses plays, fires upfield to defend the run and gives effort. Displays a nice move to the throw, effectively times pass defenses and physically beats down receivers to knock away the ball.

Slow getting his head back around to track the pass in the air. Bites on ball fakes and gets caught out of position, which results in big plays for the opposition. Has just two interceptions in four years of college football. Played just five games last year missing time with injury.

Marshall projects as a potential top-100 pick from a size and speed perspective, yet he rarely plays to that level. After a terrific 2023 campaign, he was injured most of last season and failed to capitalize. He's a developmental prospect with a large upside, yet he must improve his ball skills and play consistently productive football.
Maxen Hook
Toledo
S
Ht:
Wt:
Aggressive run-defending safety who is fast in a straight line. Patient, plays within the system and immediately locates the ball handler. Vicious, mixes it up and consistently flies around the action. Chases hard to make the play, wraps up tackling and brings opponents down in the open field. Recorded 107 tackles last season. Physically beats down receivers to defend passes.

Lacks lateral range and speed to the sidelines. Possesses an average closing burst. Does a lot of faceguarding in coverage and struggles tracking the pass.

Hook is an instinctive and physical safety who stands out defending the run, but he struggles covering the pass. He's a traditional strong safety type who comes with a special-teams mentality.
Ulysses Bentley IV
Mississippi
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Creative ball carrier with an explosive style. Quick-footed and consistently runs North/South. Possesses the speed to run to daylight and plays much faster than his forty time. Possesses terrific vision, has a burst that he turns on in a single step and immediately cuts back against the grain without losing momentum. Instinctive, displays outstanding awareness and easily avoid piles or defenders with quick footwork. Possesses soft, reliable hands and adjusts backwards to grab the throw as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

Doesn’t pick up much yardage off initial contact and gets brought down at the point by the first defender. Marginally productive throughout his college career.

Bentley lacks power and production, yet he’s an explosive multi-purpose ball handler who is effective as a running back and pass catcher. He'll be a terrific third-down back at the next level.
Andre Biggers
Georgia Tech
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Massive space eater who flashes athleticism. Takes up a lot of room in the middle of the line, attracts double-team blocks and plays with outstanding pad level. Fires off the snap with an outstanding first step and gets leverage on opponents. Quickly gets his hands up and uses them to protect himself. Displays a variety of moves to protect himself, stands up blockers and consistently clogs the middle of the line. Penetrates the backfield and makes his presence felt.

Slow getting off blocks and does not show much contact balance off the initial hit. Average pass rusher. More of a short-area defensive lineman who is ineffective outside the box.

Biggers is a physically imposing nose tackle/zero-technique defensive lineman with eye-popping explosion. His ability to eat up space in the bill of the line on Sundays will allow teammates to get to the ball.
Josh Fryar
Ohio State
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Large, small-area blocker with potential at right tackle or guard. Strong, anchors in pass protection and blocks with a nasty attitude. Patient, fundamentally sound and plays with leverage. Keeps his head on a swivel, shows great awareness and hits as many defenders as possible on each snap. Keeps his feet moving and works his hands. Turns defenders off the line run blocking and anchors in pass protection.

Stiff, struggles to adjust and gets exploited by quick edge rushers. Lacks footwork off the edge. Occasionally bends at the waist.

Fryar possesses next-level size as well as strength, yet he comes with athletic limitations. He's a power gap lineman who could be an invaluable utility backup on Sundays.
Ben Scott
Nebraska
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated interior lineman with potential at a variety of positions. Quickly sets up off the snap, keeps his head on a swivel and works his hands throughout the action. Technically sound, keeps his feet moving and can slide laterally. Displays outstanding blocking vision, picks up blitzes and works well with linemates. Solid position blocker who stays square and keeps the defender in front of him. Effective with the shotgun snap.

Must improve the strength of his base. Not a dominant run blocker. Average athlete.

Going back to his days at Arizona State, Scott was always a productive offensive lineman who was used at several different positions. He's been a terrific center at Nebraska the past two seasons and has enough ability and upside to make an NFL roster and eventually move in with the first team.
Traeshon Holden
Oregon
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized possession wideout who began his career at Alabama. Quickly releases into pass routes, tracks the pass in the air and lays out or extends to come away with the difficult catch. Possesses eye/hand coordination, is effective when he extends to make the reception away from his frame and nicely makes the catch on crossing patterns. Comes back into the clearing to make himself an available target and is relatively effective running after the catch. Above-average route runner for a bigger receiver.

Inconsistent pass-catching fundamentals. Does not consistently catch the ball away from his frame, rather secures the pass against his body. Plays to one speed and isn’t a deep threat.

Holden was productive for Oregon the past two seasons and really watched his game take off last year. He's a big-bodied wideout with an underrated game who has enough ability to make a roster as a fifth receiver.
Joe Huber
Wisconsin
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Quick, hard-working blocker with limited upside. Does a terrific job bending his knees, blocking with leverage and anchoring in pass protection. Shows terrific awareness, keeps his head on a swivel and works well with linemates. Fundamentally sound, effective with his hands and plays through the whistle. Strong and turns defenders from the line to open running lanes.

Not quick to the second level or effective blocking in motion. Struggles adjusting and tends to fall off opponents rather than finishing off defenders. Lacks footwork in space.

Huber has shown consistent progress in his game, yet he lacks the size to be a power blocker and the athleticism for a zone scheme.
Ethan Robinson
Minnesota
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Bucknell transfer who showed a lot of ability last season at Minnesota. Aggressive, quickly diagnoses plays and fires upfield to defend screen passes and the run. Stays with coverage assignments downfield, tracks the pass in the air and has a closing burst to the throw. Displays a nice move to the throw to defend passes. Keeps the action in front of him, smoothly flips his hips in transition and displays good hands for the interception. Mixes it up with receivers throughout the route and does not back down from a challenge.

Late reacting to receivers’ moves off the line. Deep speed may be a concern. Still very rough around the edges.

Robinson played well at Minnesota last season and showed a lot of potential, intercepting three passes while breaking up 11 more. He possesses a solid frame and can be used in either man or zone coverage as a dime back.
Gavin Bartholomew
Pittsburgh
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized tight end coming off a career season. Tracks the pass in the air, adjusts to the errant throw and makes the reception in stride. Effective making the catch on crossing patterns, extends his hands and grabs the ball away from his frame. Displays terrific route discipline, makes the tough catch in a crowd and displays a sense of timing. Gives effort blocking and squares into defenders. Anchors at the point in pass protection and shows the ability to turn defenders from the line on running downs.

Plays to one speed. Really nothing more than a short-range pass catcher.

Bartholomew does a little of everything well, yet he really does not stand out in any single aspect. Marginally productive throughout his college career, he has enough ability to make an NFL roster as the third tight end.
Cody Lindenberg
Minnesota
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Hard-working run defending linebacker who gets the most from his ability. Instinctive, quickly picks up assignments and gives great effort. Terrific run defender who immediately diagnoses plays and fires upfield. Takes proper angles to the action, gets depth on pass drops and shows the ability to make plays in space. Disciplined, tough and works hard.

Does not play like a great athlete and lacks flat-out pursuit speed. Not a forceful blitzer. Easily blocked from the action despite his frame.

After playing just four games in 2023, Lindenberg returned to have a career year last season. He's a hard-working run defending linebacker who shows ability in zone coverage against the pass and would be a good addition to a roster as a backup.
Ruben Hyppolite II
Maryland
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Consistent linebacker who is best defending the run. Instinctive, flows well laterally and quickly diagnoses plays. Displays speed in pursuit and fires upfield to defend the run. Explosive, immediately alters his angle of attack and quickly gets to the action with a closing burst. Sells out against the run and bursts through blocks to get to the ball handler. Gets solid depth on pass drops and is fluid moving in reverse.

Small. Not forceful on the blitz. Needs a free shot at the ball handler.

Hyppolite was a productive four-year starter who projects as a run-and-chase linebacker on Sundays. Unlikely to be selected in the draft, he will have a home as a backup linebacker/special-teams player.
Dillon Gabriel
Oregon
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Productive quarterback who flourished for Central Florida and Oklahoma and finally at Oregon. Patient, poised and consistently makes proper choices. Buys time for receivers, consistently goes to checkdown targets if nothing else is available and moves around the pocket to extend plays. Always in charge of the situation, spreads the ball around and delivers a catchable pass. Keeps his eyes downfield when rolling outside the pocket, improvises when plays break down and displays a sense of timing on throws. Does an outstanding job scanning the field and going through progressions. Was the best quarterback on the field during Senior Bowl practices.

Lacks size and stature and cannot withstand the rush. Lacks a vertical arm and struggles to put speed on throws. Underthrows receivers down the field. Has size limitations.

Gabriel was a terrific college quarterback and a lot of fun to watch. He led by example and rarely made mental errors, rather he found ways to move his team down the field and win ball games. He has physical limitations, yet Gabriel is a touch-and-timing passer who will flourish in a backup role.
Jahmal Banks
Nebraska
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Big-bodied receiver with a consistent and reliable game. Comes back to the ball out of breaks, extends his hands and snatches the ball away from his frame. Uses his large frame to shield away defenders or protect the pass. Plays heads-up football, follows the quarterback across the field when the passer is in trouble and works to make himself an available target. Displays excellent eye/hand coordination as well as focus and comes away with the difficult catch. Battles opponents for the reception and displays strong hands. Terrific downfield blocker.

Lacks a quick release off the line of scrimmage. Plays to one speed. Tends to gather and slow into routes.

Banks was productive for Nebraska last season, yet he's a slower possession receiver who really doesn't show much quickness in his game. His pass-catching skills could help him catch on as a fifth wideout.
Jacob Bayer
Arkansas State
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Lamar transfer who was a two-year starter at Arkansas State. Quickly sets up off the snap, blocks with leverage and keeps his feet moving. Patient, fires into run blocks and stays square. Solid position blocker who seals defenders from the action. Effective with the shotgun snap. Displays good initial strength and works blocks.

Plays like an average athlete. Lacks a dominant base and gets knocked around in the middle of the line. Lacks the size to be a power gap blocker and the athleticism for a zone blocker.

Bayer is a serviceable center who comes with limited upside, yet his approach and ability to block with tremendous fundamentals give him an outside chance to make a roster.
Ja'Quinden Jackson
Arkansas
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Utah transfer who displayed a nose for the end zone last season. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and keeps his feet moving. Strong, possesses outstanding vision and quickly finds the running lanes. Follows blocks everywhere on the field, gets a lot of momentum going and falls forward when tackled. Quick-footed for a bigger back and easily changes direction. Shows a lot of ability as a pass catcher, adjusts to the errant throw and even gets downfield to make the reception. Outstanding blocker who squares into opponents and takes them from the action.

Does not play like a big power back despite his size. Not a perimeter ball carrier. Easily brought down in the open field by a single defender.

Jackson is an enigma of sorts, as he displays solid quickness as well as footwork for a larger back yet at the same time fails to pick up big yardage off initial contact. He possesses the skills to develop for the next level and could make a roster that keeps five running backs.
Davin Vann
North Carolina State
EDGE
Ht:
Wt:
Hard-charging, productive defensive lineman who explodes off the snap with a terrific first step. Built low to the ground and fluid moving in any direction. Exploits immobile blockers, keeps his feet moving and penetrates the line of scrimmage to disrupt the action. Easily changes direction or immediately alters his angle of attack. Plays within the system, reads the action and does more than pin his ears back and rush up field. Gives great effort and is rarely off his feet.

Hammered at the point by a single blocker and easily taken from the action. Lacks size as well as growth potential.

Vann has been a tough and competitive collegiate defensive lineman, but he lacks the measurables to play on Sundays. He’s somewhere between a three-technique defensive tackle and end in a four-man front, yet he has no true next-level position. His mentality, approach to the game and intensity could help him catch on as a rotational defensive lineman.
Arian Smith
Georgia
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Thinley built receiver with next-level speed. Quickly releases off the line of scrimmage, sells routes and displays solid deep speed. Tracks the pass in the air and displays focus as well as concentration and a sense of timing. Contorts to the errant throw, possesses eye/hand coordination and adjusts to the errant pass. Beats defenders in a foot race and makes the deep reception at full speed.

Lacks soft hands, double catches too many throws and clutches the ball against his frame. Struggles in battles. Marginally productive and never caught more than eight passes in any single season until last year.

After being a part-time player for most of his Georgia career, Smith watched his game take off last season after stepping into the starting lineup. He's a slot receiver type with the speed to play on Sundays, yet at the same time he must improve his overall game.
Jasheen Davis
Wake Forest
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Former highly rated pass rusher who is quick in his all-around game. Primarily comes out of a three-point stance and easily moves around the field. Fast in every direction, athletic and plays with leverage. Fires off the snap with a terrific first step and possesses a closing burst and agility. Effectively uses his hands and rushes the edge with speed.

Undersized, easily out-positioned from the action by a single opponent and needs to take wide angles around blockers. Lacks overall playing strength. Struggled with injury at the beginning of last season, missing several games and having a generally disappointing season.

Davis was graded as a potential mid-round choice prior to the 2023 season, yet he chose to go back to Wake Forest for another year then struggled with injury and inconsistency. He possesses the size, athleticism and skill to be used as a 3-4 outside linebacker or situational pass rusher in a four-man front, yet he must get his game back to where it was more than a year ago.
Camden Miller
North Dakota State
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized yet accurate small-school passer who showed consistent development in his game the past three seasons. Patient in the pocket, scans the field and finds the open wideout. Always in control of the situation, buys time for receivers and challenges the vertical game. Consistently locates the open wideout, goes to secondary targets and knows where his receivers are. Accurate with short and intermediate passes and gives receivers a chance to come away with the ball. Natural looking off the safety, quickly gets the ball out of his hands and flashes the ability to precisely place throws.

Occasionally forces the ball into covered targets. Not a threat running the ball. Must improve his downfield accuracy. Does not have a big-league arm.

Miller was an accurate timing passer who combined for 52 touchdowns and just eight interceptions the past two seasons. He's a leader on the field and could be a competent backup for a timing offense.
Corey Thornton
Louisville
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized cornerback who began his college career at Central Florida. Aggressive, fierce and fires upfield to defend the run. Quick moving in reverse, easily flips his hips and physically beats down opponents to defend the throw. Displays a burst to the ball out of his plant, gets vertical to defend passes and dives around the field attempting to make plays.

Slow getting his head back around in coverage and does a lot of face guarding. Deep speed may be a concern.

Thorton is a developing cornerback with next-level size who flashed ball skills. He offers potential in bump-and-run coverage as a dime back on Sundays.
DeAndre Jules
South Carolina
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Once-highly rated defensive lineman who easily changes direction moving about the field. Quick off the snap with an excellent first step and effectively uses his hands to protect himself. Athletic, plays with excellent pad level and is quick in all his actions. Immediately locates the ball handler, nicely redirects to plays and shows agility. Splits double-team blocks with his tremendous first step.

Lacks power in his game and gets knocked back off the line of scrimmage. Was never a consistent starter at Pittsburgh or South Carolina and was marginally productive throughout his college career. Struggled with injuries the past season.

When healthy and on his game, Jules displays a lot of next-level ability. He possesses the size as well as athleticism to see game action on Sundays, but he must stay healthy, improve his playing strength and elevate his game.
Lawrance Toafili
Florida State
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Versatile running back who is also effective catching the ball. Explosive, strong and gets a lot of momentum going upfield. Possesses a burst through the hole, does not go down on initial contact and shows the ability to quickly cut back against the grain. Works runs, will pick and choose his spots and follows blocks everywhere on the field. Terrific pass catcher who extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame.

Very indecisive. Not a creative ball carrier who makes defenders miss. Runs with a bit of an upright style.

Toafili looked as though he could be the next top running back prospect to come out of Florida State three years ago, yet his game showed little improvement. He possesses the running skills and pass-catching ability to be a third-down back on Sundays, yet Toafili must take his game to the next level.
K.C. Ossai
Louisiana
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Three-year starter who was a tackling machine at Louisiana. Breaks down well, quickly moves in every direction of the field and works hard to get involved in the action. Uses his hands to protect himself, immediately locates the ball handler and moves well laterally, displaying above-average speed in pursuit. Sells out upfield to make the tackle on running downs. Covers a good amount of area. Quick flipping his hips in transition, easily changes direction and gets depth on pass drops. Forceful on the blitz. Stays with assignments and remains disciplined.

Inefficient, does not always take proper angles and overpursues plays. Short. More quick than fast.

Ossai accounted for 95 then 115 tackles as the leader of the Louisiana defense the past two seasons. Though he must improve his play in coverage, his athleticism and run-stuffing ability could land him in the very late part of the draft.
Jackson Hawes
Georgia Tech
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Large blocking tight end who is effective as a short-range target. Bends his knees, blocks with leverage and has a nasty attitude. Displays outstanding vision, works hard to finish off opponents and seals them from the action. Fires to the second level and removes linebackers from plays. Possesses eye/hand coordination as a pass catcher, uses his frame to shield away defenders and consistently makes the catch away from his frame. Works hard in all aspects.

Does not display himself as a as anything other than a short-range pass catcher despite his 40 time. Caught 16 passes for 195 yards last season.

Hawes is a throwback of sorts and an old-time tight end who stands out as a blocker. He possesses enough ability to make a roster as the third man at the position.
J.J. Weaver
Kentucky
OLB
Ht:
Wt:
Former highly rated prospect who breaks down well and remains disciplined with assignments. Strong and uses his hands to defeat blocks. Displays good change-of-direction skills as well as a short burst of speed. Forceful, works hard to get involved in the action and shows ability rushing the passer out of a three-point stance as well as standing over tackle.

Ineffective in pursuit. Struggled with injury last season and played just 10 games, watching his production drop off. Has not shown much improvement the past three seasons. Slow getting off blocks.

For much of his college career, Weaver was a terrific 3-4 outside linebacker who was productive rushing the passer and defending the run. His game took a step back last season, which will knock him out of the draft, yet he has enough ability to make an NFL roster as a situational pass rusher if he gets back to prior form.
Sione Lolohea
Florida State
EDGE
Ht:
Wt:
Oregon State transfer who moves well around the field, easily changes direction and possesses a closing burst. Flows laterally to the action, is fluid when asked to twist or stunt and displays a lot of pass-rush ability. Occasionally stands over tackle and shows the ability to get up the field or play in space on zone blitzes. Bends his knees and plays with consistent leverage.

At times slow locating the ball and more intent on hitting the quarterback than making the tackle. Does not show much strength and gets knocked back off the line by opponents. Had a disappointing 2024 season.

Lolohea was graded as a potential early Day 3 pick by scouts coming into the season, but he flashed ability rather than consistently making plays. He offers possibilities as a situational pass rusher, yet he must quickly impress in camp this summer.
Sal Wormley
Penn State
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated guard prospect who has been a durable three-year starter for Penn State. Fires off the snap and is quick in his all-around game and explosive at the point. Blocks with leverage, stays square and anchors in pass protection. Jolts defenders with explosive hand punch. Keeps his feet moving and works hard throughout the action. Possesses a next-level build.

Doesn't get great movement run blocking. Struggles redirecting or adjusting in motion and cannot hit a moving target.

Wormley was a tough and efficient offensive lineman at Penn State and possesses the size and upside to be a backup on Sundays.
Moliki Matavo
UCLA
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized tight end coming off a career season. Displays excellent field vision, settles into the open spot of the defense and consistently extends to make the reception away from his frame. Uses his frame to shield away defenders, possesses outstanding eye/hand coordination and tracks the pass in the air. Keeps his focus, makes the difficult catch in a crowd and consistently snatches the pass away from his frame. Reliable short-range pass catcher. Blocks with leverage, stays square and gives effort.

Lacks quickness and speed and shows no burst in his game. Not a dominant blocker despite his size.

After transferring to UCLA from Oregon, Matavao watched his game take off and displayed himself as a surehanded tight end last season. He possesses the size and skill to play on Sundays and would be a nice third tight end if he improves his blocking.
Nash Jones
Texas State
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Large power gap prospect coming off a terrific season. Mostly blocks with proper leverage and fundamentals. Explosive and stays square. Outstanding run blocker who knocks defenders off the line of scrimmage, is stout at the point and easily anchors in pass protection. Blocks with proper lean. Easily handles larger defensive tackles. Jolts defenders with explosive hand punch. Remains disciplined with assignments and always looks for someone to hit.

Heavy-footed, not quick if asked to block in motion and struggles adjusting or redirecting on the second level. Could do a better job sinking his butt at the line of scrimmage.

Jones was not on the scouting radar coming into the season then played better and better as a senior. He possesses the build and style to be a power gap blocker and could end up with the starting unit after a few seasons of development.
Silas Bolden
Texas
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Oregon State transfer who is effective as a receiver and punt returner. Solid route runner who is quick and possesses a burst. Fires into breaks to separate from defenders, tracks the pass in the air and makes the reception away from his frame. Effective after the catch and creative when the ball is in his hands. Game-breaking return specialist.

Small, loses out in battles and gets easily brought down at the point. Was never overly productive as a receiver.

After four solid seasons at Oregon State, Bolden transferred to Texas and was a reliable fourth receiver who also altered the momentum of games as a return specialist. He projects as a slot receiver on Sundays, yet returning punts and kicks will be his ticket onto a roster.
Cam Riley
Florida State
OLB
Ht:
Wt:
Tall and relatively athletic linebacker who is best defending the run. Breaks down well, easily changes direction and quickly gets to the sidelines in pursuit. Explodes upfield and possesses a closing burst as well as speed moving laterally. Works to get off blocks and defend the run.

Inefficient and overpursues the action. Started just a single game last season, finishing with 47 tackles.

Riley is a linebacker who looks the part but only plays to it occasionally. He possesses the size and athleticism to be used on the outside of a 3-4 scheme, yet he must quickly elevate his play to make it out of camp this summer.
Jared Harrison-Hunte
SMU
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Miami Hurricanes transfer coming off a career season. Gets off the snap with an explosive first step, works his hands throughout the action and plays with leverage. Quick, moves well and easily redirects to the action or alters his angle of attack. Fluid getting down the line of scrimmage or outside the box in pursuit and competes to make plays.

Lacks bulk and is easily out-positioned from the action. Gets stood up by a single blocker.

Harrison-Hunte is an explosive one-gap defender who showed ability stopping the run and rushing the passer last season. He possesses growth potential that he must meet, yet Harrison-Hunte offers potential in a variety of schemes.
Seth McLaughlin
Ohio State
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Efficient center who is well-liked in some areas of the scouting community. Blocks with excellent pad level, stays square and seals defenders from the action. Keeps his feet moving, quickly gets off the snap and fires out to the second level. Displays ability blocking in motion, moves well on his feet and redirects to linebackers. Does a great job quarterbacking the offensive line. Effective with the shotgun snap.

Consistently beaten by larger opponents and gets run over. Rarely gets movement run blocking. Tore his Achilles during practice in November.

Prior to his injury, some in the scouting community rated McLaughlin as a potential fourth-round prospect. I don't agree with that opinion, as he was a solid zone-blocking lineman who displayed little strength at the center position. He must now return from the Achilles injury that sidelined him late in the season, and it's going to be an uphill battle for McLaughlin.
Desmond Evans
North Carolina
EDGE
Ht:
Wt:
Tall and relatively athletic defensive line prospect with upside. Breaks down well, displays good-change-of-direction skills and moves well laterally. Quick, keeps his feet moving and easily gets into space to make plays. Effective pursuing the action and flashes ability as a pass rusher.

Never had great production at North Carolina. Easily out-positioned or blocked from the action. Does not hold up well against the run and gets knocked back off the line.

Evans is a tall, athletic front-seven defender who flashed ability, yet he lacks consistency. He must add bulk to his frame and strength to his game, yet measurables alone give him consideration in the late rounds.
Francisco Mauigoa
Miami-Fl
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Tough, fierce, run-defending linebacker who stays with assignments, displays an outstanding head for the game and sacrifices his body to make the tackle. Breaks down well, remains disciplined with assignments in coverage or fires upfield on the blitz.

Lacks speed in pursuit and best in the box. Cannot recover and lacks a closing burst. Stiff with poor size and speed.

Mauigoa was a tackling machine at Miami and showed improvement in his game the past three seasons. He comes with size as well as speed limitations, yet his relentless style could help him find a spot on a roster as a backup linebacker/special-teams player.
Jalen White
Georgia Southern
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Productive three-year starting running back who also showed ability catching the ball out of the backfield. Runs with good lean, shows patience and effectively follows blocks. Displays good vision, follows blocks everywhere on the field and consistently runs north/south. Displays excellent route discipline, works to become the hot receiver and extends to make the reception away from his frame. Solid short-yardage or goal line ball carrier who totaled 32 rushing touchdowns the past three years.

Not a smooth cutback runner. Plays to one speed and cannot beat defenders into the open field. Occasionally misses defenders on his blocking assignments.

White was a solid all-around ball carrier at Georgia Southern and does enough things well to get consideration as a short-yardage back on Sundays.
Colbie Young
Georgia
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Miami transfer who possesses outstanding size, offers the quarterback a large target and extends to make the reception away from his frame. Tracks the pass in the air, gets vertical and consistently high points the throw over defenders. Possesses eye/hand coordination and uses his large frame as an advantage.

Possesses average quickness as well as speed in his game. Not a downfield threat. Must improve his route running. Caught 11 passes for 149 yards during the five games he played last season before an arrest on a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.

After initially being accused of assaulting a woman and her unborn child, Young was eventually charged with disorderly conduct after the accuser recanted her initial statement. And though he returned to practice with Georgia late in the season, he didn't play another game for the Bulldogs after his arrest on October 8. From a football point of view, Young is a big possession receiver with the potential to be a terrific red-zone target.
Antario Brown
Northern Illinois
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Once-highly rated running back who was limited to eight games last season with a knee injury. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and quickly finds the running lanes. Turns it upfield, has an explosive burst and breaks arm tackles. Small and gets lost behind blockers. Easily sidesteps defenders and piles to get into the clearing. Loses no momentum cutting back against the grain and possesses the agility necessary to turn the corner.

Rarely used as a pass catcher out of the backfield. Doesn’t break a lot of tackles despite his size. Should be a much better blocker than he is.

Scouts graded Brown as a potential Day 3 pick entering the season, yet his season came to a premature end with a leg injury. He possesses enough ability to make a roster that keeps five running backs, though Brown must complete his game, improve his blocking and produce as a pass catcher out of the backfield.
Marcus Tate
Clemson
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Large, small-area blocker with marginal upside. Strong and starts with good knee bend and an exceptionally wide base. Blocks with leverage, stays square and gets his hands into defenders. Possesses tremendous vision and overall awareness. Effective with his hands.

Does not get much movement run blocking despite his size. Isn’t effective pulling across the line of scrimmage or blocking in motion. Struggles to adjust.

Tate possesses next-level size, yet he lacks the athleticism to play in a zone system and comes with limited upside.
Bilhal Kone
Western Michigan
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized cornerback coming off a terrific season. Possesses outstanding length, keeps the action in front of him and shows terrific awareness of assignments. Athletic, plays faster than his 40 time and shows the ability to recover. Quick flipping his hips, mixes it up with opponents and stays with receivers on crossing patterns. Shows a nice move to the throw, battles hard and gives effort. Effective and productive defending the run.

Shows tentativeness in his game and is often a half-step late getting to the action. Prefers to side shuffle downfield rather than backpedal.

Kone possesses next-level size and has been productive the past two seasons, really improving as a senior. He possesses an upside, yet he will need to improve his ball skills before he's ready to make an NFL roster.
Coziah Izzard
Penn State
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated defensive lineman who plays with athleticism and quickness. Bends his knees, consistently gets leverage on opponents and keeps his feet moving. Explodes off the snap with a tremendous first step, penetrates the gaps to get behind the line of scrimmage and knocks blockers off the line. Works his hands throughout the action, flows well laterally and has a closing burst. Shows the ability to hold his ground against blocks.

Does not show great strength and gets knocked around by a single blocker. Marginally productive and has combined for 47 tackles and five sacks the past two seasons.

Izzard is a prospect who caught my eye two years ago and possesses the quickness, athleticism and movement skills to line up as a three-technique tackle on Sundays.
Kaden Moore
Virginia Tech
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Slightly undersized but mobile lineman who would be a good fit in a zone-blocking scheme. Starts with good knee bend, is explosive and turns defenders off the line. Quick pulling across the line of scrimmage, effective blocking in motion and gets a pad on defenders to knock them from the action. Redirects to linebackers on the second level, works his hands throughout the action and displays outstanding vision. Displays footwork in space and the ability to slide. Keeps his head on a swivel, always looks for someone to hit and works well with linemates. Does a great job picking up stunts or twists. Experienced at both center and guard.

Lacks size and strength and struggles finishing blocks. Must get the advantage on defenders off the snap or it's a struggle.

Moore is quick and explosive with the versatility to be used at several positions on the inside of the offensive line and play in multiple blocking schemes.
Kelly Akharaiyi
Mississippi State
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Well-built and usually reliable pass catcher who tracks the pass in the air, contorts or adjust to the errant throw and possesses outstanding eye/hand coordination as well as a sense of timing. Consistent hands catcher who uses his frame to shield away defenders, extends to make the reception away from his frame and pulls the ball from the air. Displays good route discipline, finds the clearing in the defense and follows the quarterback across the field to make himself an available target.

Struggled catching the ball during a disappointing 2024 season and let catchable passes slip through his hands. Plays to one speed.

After an outstanding season with UTEP in 2023 when he totaled 1033 receiving yards and seven TDs, Akharaiyi watched his production get cut in half last year. He offers possibilities as a possession receiver in a timing offense, yet his performance in 2024 will push him out of the draft.
Cal Haladay
Michigan State
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Productive one-gap linebacker who has been a force since his freshman season. Incredibly instinctive, quick and very mobile. Immediately diagnoses the action, quickly picks up coverage assignments and covers a lot of area on the field. Breaks down well and uses his hands to protect himself. Explosive. Quick flipping his hips, gets depth on pass drops and sells out defending the run.

Undersized and gets engulfed by opponents or caught up in the trash. Gets knocked around by opposing tight ends. Lacks great pursuit speed. Arms measured under 31 inches during Shrine Bowl practice.

Haladay was a very productive linebacker for Michigan State, totaling 365 tackles the past four years. Poor measurables will knock him out of the draft, yet he has enough ability to make a roster as a backup one-gap linebacker and special-teams ace.
Johnny Walker
Missouri
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Productive college pass rusher with average size and speed for the next level. Disciplined, stays with assignments and does more than pin his ears back and rush up field. Plays with excellent pad level and gets leverage on opponents. Breaks down well and uses his hands to protect himself. Agile, easily directs to the action and moves quickly to every angle. Possesses a closing burst and is effective out of a three-point stance and standing over tackle.

Possesses a thin build and must improve his playing strength. Easily blocked from the action or out-positioned from plays.

Walker is a hard-working pass rusher with limited athleticism. He's a situational player on Sundays who must stand out on special teams.
J.C. Davis
Illinois
OG
Ht:
Wt:
New Mexico transfer who spent most of his college career at left tackle. Sets with a wide base, bends his knees and blocks with leverage most of the time. Explosive and attacks blocking assignments. Keeps his feet moving, stays square and uses body positioning to seal defenders from the action. Possesses excellent blocking vision, picks up stunts and twists and knocks defenders from the action with outstanding hand punch. Keeps his head on a swivel and looks to hit as many defenders as possible.

Does not play like a top athlete. Struggles adjusting and gets beaten by inside moves. Overextends on occasion and rarely finishes blocks.

Davis possesses the size and mentality of a power blocker and the underlying athleticism to be used at guard in a zone scheme. That being the case, he must elevate every aspect of his game to be a next-level player. Davis could end up as a late-round pick based on his potential, yet he will need a lot of work before he's NFL ready.
D'Eryk Jackson
Kentucky
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Once-productive linebacker who is instinctive, remains disciplined with assignments and quickly locates the ball handler. Scrapes laterally to make the tackle and flows to the action. Bullies his way up field and takes on blockers to allow teammates to get to the action. Remains disciplined with assignments in coverage.

Shows stiffness in his game. Plays to one speed and lacks a great burst. Missed four games with injury last season after leading Kentucky in tackles the prior two years. Also tore an Achilles tendon in 2021.

Jackson has the size and style to be a natural two-down, run-defending linebacker, yet he must get back to full health and play well on special teams to make a roster.
Mark Redman
Louisville
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Athletic tight end prospect who runs solid routes and quickly gets into breaks. Stays low on exit and extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target. Tracks the pass in the air, gets vertical and contorts to grab the errant throw away from his frame. Nicely makes the reception on crossing patterns. Displays good route discipline and settles into the soft spot of the field. Quickly gets into blocks, adjusts and stays square.

Does not show much of a burst in his game despite his 40 time. Gets no movement whatsoever blocking and lacks overall playing strength. Never lived up to expectations.

Redman possesses the size and speed to play on Sundays, yet he has been marginally productive throughout his college career and must really develop his game. His upside is enticing and should help him find a spot on the practice squad.
Nate Noel
Missouri
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Appalachian State transfer with possibilities as a rotational back. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and has an explosive burst through the hole. Quick-footed, easily cuts back against the grain and keeps his feet moving. Does not go down without a fight, consistently runs North/South and is strong in his lower body. Runs low to the ground and behind his pads. Drives his shoulders into defenders and works to pick up as much yardage as possible. Sees the blitz, quickly picks up blocking assignments and squares into defenders.

Doesn’t move the pile. Turned in average pass-catching production last season for an offense that liked the throw the ball.

Noel was a productive collegian the past three years and is a speedy ball carrier who does the little things well.
Bill Norton
Texas
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Massive interior defensive lineman who does the little things well. Tough, powerful and easily holds his ground. Stands up opponents and controls them off the snap. Clogs the gaps and quick with his hands. Fires off the snap with a quick first step. Wide-bodied defender who is tough to get around.

Minimally productive and isn’t much of a pass rusher. Was never the main guy at Texas or Georgia and Arizona, his two prior schools.

Norton is a gritty nose tackle prospect who likes to do the dirty work and plays with an aggressive attitude.
Gus Hartwig
Purdue
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Tough, three-year starter who gets the most from his ability. Smart, displays outstanding blocking vision and does a great job quarterbacking the offensive line. Blocks with excellent lean, stays square and anchors at the point. Explosive, fires off the snap into blocks and fights through the action. Stays square and seals defenders from plays. Effective with the shotgun snap.

Lacks quick and fluid footwork in space. Struggles to adjust and pick up the blitz.

Hardwick is a nice-sized center with growth potential who offers possibilities as a backup center in a zone-blocking scheme.
Jackson Meeks
Syracuse
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Large, surehanded possession wideout coming off a career season. Tracks the pass in the air, uses the sidelines well and looks the ball into his hands. Comes back to the ball out of breaks, works to make himself an available target and consistently extends to snatch the ball out of the air. Fights with his hands to separate from defenders, adjusts backwards and wins out for the contested throw.

Lacks speed as well as quickness and isn’t a deep threat. Was a nonfactor at Georgia during his time there.

After three unproductive seasons for Georgia, Meeks turned it on at Syracuse last season, catching 70 passes for 1,021 yards and seven TDs. He's a big strong possession wideout who will be a good red-zone target on Sundays.
Tamarion McDonald
Louisville
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized defensive back who is experienced at safety and cornerback. Displays speed moving laterally and covers a lot of area. Possesses a closing burst, fires up the field to defend screens and run plays and wraps up tackling. Hard hitter who drives his shoulder through ball handlers.

Must improve his ball skills. Shows stiffness in his game.

McDonald was an underrated defensive back in a Louisville secondary stacked with talent. He possesses excellent size as well as wherewithal and could fit in as a zone safety/special-teams player.
Josh Williams
LSU
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Well-rounded ball carrier with average size and speed. Patient, waits for blocks to develop and finds the running lanes. Runs with excellent lean, keeps his feet moving and displays terrific vision. Will pick his spots on the inside, keeps his feet off the initial hit and immediately gets back to running form. Solid receiver out of the backfield who adjusts to the errant throw and extends to make the reception away from his frame. Displays outstanding blocking vision and stays with assignments.

Doesn’t move the pile on short-yardage downs. Lacks the speed and agility necessary to turn the corner.

Williams was a solid rotational ball carrier at LSU who did an outstanding job as a pass catcher. He projects as a third-down back on Sundays, yet he will fall out of the draft due to the lack of size and speed.
Darryl Williams
South Carolina
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Hard-charging linebacker who is best defending the run. Effectively diagnoses plays, fires upfield and flies around the football. Moves well laterally, scrapes to the flanks and sells out. Forceful, fires upfield on the blitz and easily changes direction or immediately alters his angle of attack to get to the play. Hard-hitting and drives his shoulders through ball handlers.

Shows little in the way of ball skills and never intercepted a pass in college. Lack of height will result in mismatches against larger tight ends.

Williams was a solid linebacker for South Carolina the past two seasons and projects as a one-gap defender and special-teams ace.
Taylor Morin
Wake Forest
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Three-year starter coming off a career season. Smart and displays outstanding field vision as well as focus and concentration. Tracks the pass in the air, contorts to the errant throw and comes away with the difficult grab. Consistently extends to make the reception away from his frame and possesses eye/hand coordination as well as strong hands that he uses to snatch the ball from the air. Terrific possession receiver who immediately turns upfield after the catch and uses the sidelines well. Doubles as a punt returner and impacts the game with big plays.

Lacks a quick release off the line of scrimmage. Plays to one speed and lacks a burst for a smaller wideout.

Taylor is a surehanded timing receiver who does the little things well. He’d be a good fit in a West Coast offense and will add value on special teams.
Robbie Ouzts
Alabama
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Offensive lineman-sized tight end with an underrated game. Quickly releases off the line of scrimmage, adjusts to the errant throw and extends to make the reception away from his frame. Displays excellent vision and settles into the open spot of the defense. Stays square as a blocker, seals defenders from the action and out-positions them from plays. Displays impressive strength and the ability to bull rush opponents off the line run blocking.

Plays to one speed, which is slow. Must improve his skills in pass protection, as he is beaten by lesser opponents.

Ouzts possesses the size, blocking ability and pass-catching skills to develop into a third tight end on an NFL roster.
Justice Ellison
Indiana
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Wake Forest transfer coming off a career season. Patient, displays outstanding vision and runs hard. Quick-footed, easily cuts back against the grain without losing momentum and runs with outstanding balance. Finds the hole, has a burst and consistently runs north/south. Breaks arm tackles, picks up yardage off initial contact and falls forward when tackled. Does not go down without a fight.

Possesses average size/speed numbers. Minimally productive as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

Ellison watched his game take off last season, rushing for a career high of 848 yards as well as 10 TDs in his only season at Indiana. He's more football player than athlete, yet he would be an asset as a fourth running back on a roster.
Chimere Dike
Florida
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Wisconsin transfer who is effective as a receiver and punt returner. Quickly releases off the line of scrimmage, tracks the pass in the air and adjusts backwards to grab the errant throw away from his frame. Displays eye/hand coordination and focus and possesses soft hands. Quickly gets into pass routes, comes back to the ball and uses the sidelines well. Game-impacting punt returner. Works hard even if he's not involved in the action.

Struggles against press coverage. More quick than fast and despite timing the forty in 4.34 seconds at the Combine, does not display himself as a deep threat.

Dike is a well-rounded player who could help a team as a fifth receiver and punt returner.
Alphonzo Tuputala
Washington
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated linebacker who has been very productive the past three seasons. Explosive, quickly locates the ball handler and fires upfield to defend the run. Breaks down well, is fluid pedaling in reverse and easily redirects to the action. Athletic, plays much faster than his 40 time and shows speed in pursuit. Sells out on the blitz and gives a lot of effort.

Inefficient and does not always take proper angles to the action. Better making plays up the field than in reverse. Intercepted just one pass and broke up three during his six-year college career.

Tuputala is an undersized yet productive run-defending pursuit linebacker. He plays with a special-teams mentality and could back up on the inside of a 3-4 alignment.
Tysheem Johnson
Oregon
S
Ht:
Wt:
Hard-hitting, aggressive safety who is best defending the run. Effective diagnosing plays, fires up the field and sells out to make the tackle. Breaks down well, displays good awareness and comes off assignments to help teammates. Displays an explosive burst out of his plant and sacrifices his body to make the tackle.

Hesitant in coverage. Struggles playing over the slot receiver. Does a lot of grabbing and possesses poor ball skills.

Johnson was a dominant run defender, yet his poor size, speed and ball skills limit him for the next level. He offers possibilities as a zone safety, yet he must earn his wage on special teams.
Marcus Wehr
Montana State
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Former defensive lineman who was a productive two-year starter on the offensive line for Montana State. Sets with a wide base and fires off the snap. Stays square and displays terrific blocking vision. Explosive and quickly gets to the second level. Always looking for someone to hit, seals defenders from the action and makes excellent use of angles in pass protection. Works well with linemates. Gets movement run blocking.

Must get bigger and stronger. Gets knocked off the line in pass protection. Does not play like a good athlete.

Wehr is a terrific football player who lacks top measurables yet had three great days of practice at the Shrine Bowl. He must get bigger as well as stronger, but he offers possibilities as a backup lineman.
Gerald Mincey
Kentucky
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Well-traveled offensive lineman who began his career at Florida then moved to Tennessee before landing at Kentucky. Strong, squares into defenders and turns them from the action. Quickly sets up in pass protection, correctly places his hands into defenders and anchors at the point. Flashes quickness and athleticism pulling across the line of scrimmage.

Must do a better job sinking his butt at the line of scrimmage and bending his knees. Stiff, bends at the waist and is often off balance.

Over the past three seasons, Mincey has shown a lot of ability and comes with upside. He possesses the size and athleticism to play on Sundays, yet he must improve as well as complete his game.
Jaheim Thomas
Wisconsin
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Arkansas transfer who is disciplined, quickly picks up assignments and stays with the action. Quick, explosive and has a burst through the gaps. Flows well laterally, easily redirects to the action and breaks down well. Shows the ability to play off blocks, immediately changes direction and makes the tackle.

Not forceful on the blitz. Did not seem to be playing full speed during a disappointing and injury-plagued 2024 season. Watched his production numbers halve over the last two years.

Thomas looked like a draftable three-down linebacker in 2023 at Arkansas, but his game took a step back last season, in large part due to injuries. He possesses the size and speed to play on Sundays, yet he must now work his way through the free-agent process.
Donovan McMillon
Pittsburgh
S
Ht:
Wt:
Tall, aggressive safety who began his college career at Florida. Effectively reads and diagnoses plays, stays with assignments and works well with teammates in the secondary. Tracks the pass in the air, has a nice move to the throw and effectively times pass defenses. Fires upfield to defend run plays and screen passes and wraps up tackling. Deliberate and keeps the action in front of him.

Late getting to the flanks in coverage. Lacks top range and lateral speed and cannot recover.

McMillon possesses the size as well as speed to play on Sundays and shows solid instincts. He's more of a downhill safety who must be kept between the numbers, but he could flourish in a zone scheme.
Savion Washington
Syracuse
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Massive and relatively athletic offensive tackle with a large upside. Keeps his feet moving in pass protection, consistently stays square and anchors at the point. Fires off the snap into blocks, is explosive and can be an overwhelming force. Works to bend his knees, gets his hands into opponents and easily rides them from their angles of attack.

Does not consistently play to his size, lacks a nasty attitude and has been accused of being soft. Does not show lateral range in pass protection. Exploited by speed rushers.

Washington is a king-sized college left tackle who projects to the right side. He has outstanding physical ability, yet he must improve the details of his game and, more than anything else, start to apply himself and play at a high level on every snap.
Junior Bergen
Montana
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Small yet productive slot receiver prospect. Outstanding route runner who is very quick and separates from defenders out of breaks. Displays good route discipline, consistently extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target and makes the reception away from his frame. Comes back to the ball out of routes, adjusts to the errant throw and makes the catch in stride. Displays quick, fluid footwork, is effective running after the catch and nicely follows blocks. Competes to come away with the difficult reception. Plays faster than his 40 time.

Does not have a great burst or true second gear. Slowed by jams at the line of scrimmage and struggles in battles.

Bergen was a terrific receiver on the small-school level who also returned punts. He offers possibilities as a fifth receiver/return specialist, and though he’s unlikely to be drafted, he will have a real shot making a roster next fall.
Kevin Hester Jr.
North Carolina
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Explosive, gap-occupying defensive tackle with nice size. Powerful, tough to move off the point and overruns blocks. Takes up a lot of room, clogs the middle of the field and attracts double-team blocks, which allows teammates to make plays on the ball. Quickly gets his hands up, displays a quick first step and works hard.

Small-area lineman who does not move well laterally. Must improve his playing balance and is easily washed from the action.

Hester was a terrific defensive tackle and a tough interior player who did the dirty work at North Carolina the past three years. He offers possibilities at the next level as a backup two-gap defender.
Nick Jackson
Iowa
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Virginia transfer who was a tackling machine the past two seasons. Instinctive, keeps the action in front of him and flashes ability. Quickly diagnoses plays, remains disciplined and does not bite on ball fakes. Smooth flowing laterally and wraps up tackling. Fires upfield and gives effort against the run.

Inefficient and does not take proper angles the action. Taken from plays by tight ends and struggles getting off blocks.

Jackson is a talented football player and an underrated linebacker who had 201 tackles the past two seasons. He comes with average size/speed numbers, but he has enough ability to be a backup whose primary duties will be on special teams.
Omari Thomas
Tennessee
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Explosive interior lineman who does the dirty work. Plays with leverage, gets off the snap with an explosive first step and works hard. Keeps his feet moving, works his hands throughout the action and knocks blockers off the line of scrimmage to disrupt the action. Easily changes direction and knocks away the pass if he cannot get to the passer.

Lacks great playing strength and gets out-positioned by a single opponent. Must do a better job using his hands to get off blocks and develop more moves. Average pass rusher.

Thomas was a consistent lineman for Tennessee who was used at defensive tackle as well as an end in a three-man line. He possesses growth potential and offers possibilities as a traditional interior defensive lineman if he improves his playing strength.
Caden Prieskorn
Mississippi
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Large, dependable tight end with a complete game. Possesses soft hands, settles into the open spot of the field and makes the reception away from his frame. Tracks the pass in the air, easily adjusts to the errant throw and makes the reception in stride. Gets up in a crowd, extends and possesses soft hands. Gives effort blocking, stays square and is explosive at the point.

Plays to one speed and isn’t a deep threat. Marginally productive through most of his college career.

Prieskorn was graded as a potential Day 2 pick by NFL scouts entering the 2023 season, yet he never truly elevated his play. He's a one-speed athlete who could potentially line up as a third tight end on Sundays.
Tahveon Nicholson
Louisville
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized cornerback who is best facing the action. Quickly picks up assignments, is quick flipping his hips in transition and possesses outstanding hands for the interception. Displays a burst to the ball out of his plant, uses his hands to protect himself and works to get off blocks then make plays against the run. Stays with assignments, quickly locates the ball and works hard to get involved.

Not a stout tackler. Deep speed may be a concern. Can be a little slow out of his transition when turning to run with opponents downfield.

Nicholson was a solid situational defensive back at Louisville who could line up in dime packages either backed off the line of scrimmage or in zone coverage.
Quinn Carroll
Minnesota
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Three-year starter at right tackle who began his college career at Notre Dame. Strong, small-area blocker best in the running game. Powerful, turns defenders from the action and opens up running lanes. Quickly gets off the snap into blocks, is explosive at the point and displays outstanding vision. Stays square, keeps his feet moving and makes excellent use of angles and body positioning to seal opponents from the play. Jolts defenders with explosive hand punch and works to finish blocks.

Not a mobile lineman and lumbers around the field. Stiff, bends at the waist and struggles to adjust. On the ground too much.

Carroll is a durable offensive lineman, yet he comes with limited athleticism. He’s strictly a power gap blocker, yet he must add bulk to his frame.
Jared Gipson
Sacramento State
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Well-built receiver coming off a career campaign. Sells routes, possesses short-area quickness and comes back to the ball out of breaks. Gets vertical, contorts to the pass and makes the difficult catch in a crowd. Takes a pounding and holds onto the throw. Uses his frame to protect the pass, exposes himself to the big hit and adjusts to the errant throw. Effectively uses his hands to separate from opponents, displays a sense of timing on receptions and nicely tracks the ball in the air. Possesses eye/hand coordination and consistently makes the catch away from his frame. Above-average skill running after the catch. Gives effort blocking downfield.

Lacks a quick release off the line of scrimmage. Plays to one speed. Average production until last season.

Gipson is a surehanded receiver with a nice build who projects as a possession wideout in a timing offense.
Maurice Smith
Florida State
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized center who gets the most from his ability. Quick, explosive and hits as many defenders as possible each snap. Bends his knees, blocks with leverage and stays square. Moves well on his feet, quickly gets to the second level and out-positions linebackers from plays. Keeps his head on a swivel and does an outstanding job making the calls for the offensive line. Effective with the shotgun snap.

Small with limited growth potential. Not a powerful blocker and struggles handling larger opponents.

Smith is a small with limited growth potential, yet his ability to block in motion gives him a chance in a zone scheme.
Daniel King
Troy
OG
Ht:
Wt:
TP
Jordan Williams
Georgia Tech
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated offensive tackle and four-year starter for Georgia Tech. Starts with excellent knee bend, blocks with leverage and is patient in pass protection. Keeps his feet moving off the edge, stays square and effectively uses his hands. Moves relatively well on his feet, is quick when asked to kick out or pull and out-positions defenders when blocking in motion. Explosive at the point and plays more athletic than his computer numbers would lead one to believe.

Lacks top footwork off the edge and lateral range in pass protection. Rarely gets movement run blocking.

Williams was an efficient offensive tackle for Georgia Tech who had three solid days of practice at the Shrine Bowl. He offers possibilities as a swing offensive lineman who could back up at either tackle spot or even guard.
Mario Anderson
Memphis
RB
Ht:
Wt:
South Carolina transfer coming off a career campaign. Displays outstanding vision, does a tremendous job following blocks and plays much more athletic than his computer numbers would lend one to believe. Strong interior ball carrier who sees the field and works hard. Keeps his feet moving and is stout and tough to bring down. Patient, will pick and choose his spots on the inside and runs behind his pads. Solid pass catcher out of the backfield who adjusts to the errant throw and looks the ball into his hands. Dishes out punishment whenever the ball is in his hands, driving his shoulders into defenders and working to pick up extra yardage. Rushed for 1,362 yards and 18 TDs last season while adding 52 receptions.

Plays to one speed and lacks a burst. Not a quick cutback runner and loses momentum changing direction or altering the course of runs.

Anderson lacks the size and speed desired for the next level, yet he is a talented football player who has been consistently productive. Unlikely to be selected in the draft, his natural running skills and ability catching the ball out of the backfield could help him earn a roster spot next fall.
Aaron Smith
South Carolina State
OLB
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized and explosive run-and-chase linebacker who is most effective in pursuit. Breaks down well, quickly locates the ball handler and plays like a good athlete. Disciplined, stays with assignments and does not bite on ball fakes. Gets depth on pass drops, covers a good amount of area on the field and quickly pursues plays to the sidelines. Instinctive, feisty and has an explosive closing burst. Agile and easily changes direction or immediately alters his angle of attack to get to the play. Flows well laterally and has a quick closing burst. Shows ability in coverage.

Gets caught up in the trash and needs to run around blocks. More of a drag-down tackler. Will be outmatched by taller tight ends in coverage.

Smith is an aggressive one-gap defender who plays to his 40 time, flying around the field working to make the tackle. He will have a place at the next level as a potential eighth linebacker/special-teams player.
Jermari Harris
Iowa
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized corner who flashes ability. Effective facing the action, has a nice break to the throw and shows a closing burst. Tracks the pass in the air, works to get his head back around and effectively times pass defenses. Flashes great ability in coverage and stays with assignments in zone. Physical and works hard to defend passes. Fires upfield, defeats blocks and defends run plays or screen passes.

Loses his focus as well as concentration. Peaks upfield, which results in blown coverages. Loses receivers out of breaks. Missed the final month of a disappointing 2024 season with injury.

Harris has flashed ability the past several seasons and possesses enough size and skill to line up in a zone system on Sundays.
DJ Lundy
Florida State
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Part-time starter who breaks down well, is quick and effectively uses his hands to protect himself. Immediately reads or diagnoses plays, takes proper angles to the action and gives effort against the run. Works to get through the traffic and make the tackle.

Gets caught up in the trash. Doesn't show much of a burst in his game or pursuit speed. Marginally productive the past two seasons and never matched his play from 2021, when he recorded a career-best 69 tackles. Was lost to a season-ending injury last year after just five games.

Lundy is a hard-working but undersized and marginally athletic linebacker who must now return after missing most of last season with a reported back injury.
Bryson Nesbit
North Carolina
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Athletic pass-catching move tight end prospect. Solid route runner who quickly gets in and out of breaks. Agile, sells routes and easily adjusts to the throw. Tracks the pass in the air, keeps his concentration and comes away with the difficult catch. Makes the reception in stride and keeps the play in bounds after the catch. Battles to come away with the reception and displays eye/hand coordination.

Possesses marginal blocking strength and gets run over by opponents. Built more like a large receiver than a tight end. Does not possess blinding speed for a smaller tight end.

Nesbit was a consistent pass-catching threat for North Carolina, especially during the Drake Maye era. He’s singularly a move tight end prospect who should get better as he physically matures and adds bulk to his frame.
Tommy Akingbesote
Maryland
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Hard-working defensive lineman who gets the most from his ability. Breaks down well, works his hands to protect himself and stays with assignments. Displays good change-of-direction skills, chases plays downfield or out to the flanks and plays with a violent streak. Explosive, moves well laterally and flashes athleticism as well as power. Shows the ability to eat up one-on-one blocking. Forceful.

Marginally productive. Doesn't show great long speed chasing plays out to the flanks. Lacks size as well as growth potential.

Akingbesote was a solid contributor for Maryland the past two seasons who showed improvement in his game. He lacks great upside, yet he's a hard-working prospect that finds a way to get the job done.
Weston Franklin
Georgia Tech
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Three-year starter with an underrated game. Quick, fundamentally sound and explodes into blocks. Keeps his head on a swivel, displays outstanding blocking vision and always looks for someone to hit. Squares into defenders and turns them from the line of scrimmage. Effective with the shotgun snap.

Lacks top footwork in space. Stiff. Not a great athlete.

Franklin was durable as well as productive at Georgia Tech and offers potential as a backup interior lineman.
Marques Cox
Kentucky
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Veteran left tackle who is athletic, sets with a wide base and bends his knees. Quickly sets up in pass protection, keeps his feet moving and displays the ability to slide off the edge and cover a good amount of area. Stays square, keeps defenders in front of him and works his hands throughout the action. Keeps his head on a swivel and displays outstanding vision. Adjusts to inside moves and speed rushers.

Lacks the initial kick step in pass protection. Does not show much strength in his base and rarely gets movement run blocking. Injury history includes a back issue that reportedly prevented him from spending time in the gym.

Going back to his days at Northern Illinois, Cox present himself as an athletic zone-blocking prospect with upside. Despite this, he shown minimal improvement in his game over the years, and as a seventh-year senior, he enters the league as an overaged prospect.
Jaylin Smith
USC
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Physical cornerback who flashes ball skills. Quick and fluid pedaling in reverse, works to get his head back around to track the pass and nicely times his breakups. Runs downfield with opponents, possesses a closing burst and explodes to the ball out of his plant. Fires upfield and gives a lot of effort defending the run.

Possesses a streaky game. Lack of height will result in mismatches with opponents. Turned in marginal ball production, intercepting just three passes and breaking up eight the past four years.

Smith is a feisty cornerback with potential in a variety of coverage schemes, and he has enough ability to make a roster that keeps nine defensive backs.
J.J. Jones
North Carolina
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Consistent pass catcher who watched his production drop off last season after the departure of Drake Maye. Sized well, uses his frame to protect the pass and wins out for the contested throw. Tracks the pass in the air, adjusts to the ball and extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target. Consistent hands catcher who makes the reception away from his frame. Displays outstanding timing on receptions. Gives effort blocking downfield.

Lacks a quick release off the line of scrimmage and plays to one speed. Gets lazy in his route running.

Jones possesses the computer numbers to play on Sundays and showed a lot of ability in the past. He's an athletic pass catcher with reliable hands who must be more consistent with his route running to earn a roster spot on Sundays.
Fentrell Cypress II
Florida State
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Virginia transfer who started the past two seasons for Florida State. Displays excellent length, fights hard to make plays and fires upfield to defend run plays and screen passes. Shows ability backed off the line of scrimmage, possesses a nice move to the throw and wraps up tackling.

Not smooth transitioning off the line, does a lot of face guarding and lacks a burst as well as long speed. Occasionally bites on ball fakes and get caught out of position. Suffered a season-ending injury nine game into the 2024 campaign.

Cypress possesses the size to play on Sundays, but he lacks top athleticism and deep speed. He offers potential as a dime back in a zone system, but he must stand out on special teams.
Tre Watson
Texas A&M
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Athletic tight end prospect who moves well around the field, stays low exiting breaks and extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame. Displays a sense of timing, eye/hand coordination and enough speed to split the seam. Often lines up in the slot and fluidly releases off the snap of the ball.

Possesses average strength as a blocker and needs to turn up the blocking intensity. Caught just 21 passes for Texas A&M last season after 56 receptions the prior three years when he was at Fresno State.

Watson was given late-round grades by NFL scouts entering the season, as he possesses next-level size, speed as well as athleticism. He's never met expectations and to this point is still more athlete than football player.
Graham Mertz
Florida
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized quarterback who is patient, scans the field and locates the open wideout. Remains poised under the rush, stands in the pocket and goes to the underneath receiver when nothing else is available. Senses pressure, easily rolls outside the pocket and keeps his eyes downfield. Elusive, avoids defenders and does a nice job commanding the offense. Accurate in the short and intermediate field with the ability to get the ball through the tight spots.

Inconsistent. Inaccurate downfield, which leads to a loss of opportunity. Was more of a complementary quarterback in college rather than someone who would carry the offense on his shoulders. Played in just five games last season before suffering a season-ending MCL tear.

Since his days at Wisconsin, Mertz has flashed next-level ability and was a solid yet not spectacular quarterback prospect. He'd be a good fit as a backup signal caller in a West Coast offense.
Simeon Barrow
Miami-Fl
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized one-gap defensive tackle who displays ability as a pass rusher and run defender. Quick, agile and breaks down well. Flows well laterally, keeps his feet moving and effectively uses his hands to protect himself. Fires off the snap with a quick first step, is rarely off his feet and slides laterally to defend the run. Displays a lot of pass-rush ability.

Undersized, gets knocked around by opponents and must beat blockers off the snap.

Transferring to Miami from Michigan State, Barrow has been consistently productive throughout his college career. He’s small and comes with limited growth potential, yet he could be a solid rotational one-gap defensive lineman on Sundays.
John Pius
Wisconsin
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Once-highly rated small-school pass rusher who is agile, athletic and rarely off his feet. Moves well laterally in pursuit of plays from the back side, sifts through the trash and plays on balance. Effectively uses his hands to protect himself, is fast off the edge and has a closing burst. Occasionally comes out of a three-point stance, shows the ability to play with leverage and slides off blocks to get to the action. Fluid when asked to twist or stunt and has a quick and immediate change of direction.

Lacks bulk and strength and is easily washed from the action. Did not show the same quickness or speed in 2024 as he previously played with. Was forced to take wide angles around blockers rather than meet them head-on last season.

During his time at William and Mary, Pius was a highly rewarded and regarded pass rusher who totaled 24.5 sacks and 40.5 tackles for loss over four seasons. Hopes were high after he transferred to Wisconsin, yet he finished last season with just 21 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. Previously considered a potential middle-round choice, Pius now moves towards the draft as a free-agent prospect. He possesses the size, speed and athleticism to play on Sundays and previously showed enough skill to warrant a Day 3 pick, yet Pius must get his game back on track to avoid being cut in camp this summer.
Upton Stout
Western Kentucky
CB
Ht:
Wt:
North Texas transfer with a versatile game. Fierce, competitive and fires upfield, giving effort on the blitz or defending the run. Stays with assignments, plays bigger than his listed size and shows a closing burst as well as the ability to recover. Effectively reads and diagnoses plays, moves well laterally and nicely covers receivers on crossing patterns. Quick, explosive and wraps up tackling.

Does not always take correct angles to the action and overpursues plays. Really doesn't have much ball production. More effective facing the action than making plays with his back to the ball.

Stout is a hard-working secondary prospect with potential as a dime cornerback or nickel safety. His greatest value on Sundays will come on special teams, which will determine whether he makes a roster.
Easton Mascarenas-Arnold
USC
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Productive run-defending linebacker who totaled 202 tackles the past two seasons. Breaks down well and is fluid moving around the field and fast pursuing plays laterally. Explodes up field behind the line of scrimmage, easily changes direction and displays speed moving in every area. Instinctive and effectively makes the calls for the defense. Plays heads-up football.

Undersized and easily turned from the action by a single opponent. Gets caught up in the trash. Lack of height will result in coverage mismatches against tight ends.

Mascarenas-Arnold is a hard-charging linebacker with limited size as well as growth potential. He's a one-gap, run-and-chase linebacker who will have to earn his wage on special teams.
Timothy McKay
North Carolina State
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized blocker who has shown improvement in his game. Blocks with consistent leverage, stays square and is explosive at the point. Keeps his feet moving, is effective pulling across the line of scrimmage and displays outstanding vision. Works well with linemates, plays with a nasty attitude and gives effort.

Doesn't get movement run blocking and occasionally gets knocked back into the pocket.

McKay possesses solid size as well as growth potential for the next level. The development he showed on the field last season, as well as his performance during Shrine Bowl practice, gives people hope.
Kydran Jenkins
Purdue
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Fierce two-down, run-defending linebacker who flashes ability. Breaks down well, uses his hands to protect himself and quickly locates the ball handler. Fires upfield, squares into opponents and hits hard. Viciously attacks ball handlers and plays with a violent style. Quickly collapses inside-out to defend the run and shows a burst of speed getting to the action.

Does not show great range despite his 40 time. Possesses average ball skills and never intercepted a pass in college. Lack of height will create mismatches against taller tight ends in coverage.

Jenkins is a tough two-down linebacker who plays with a special-teams mentality. He would be a good fit as a backup traditional middle linebacker.
Jeremiah Hunter
Washington
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized receiver coming off a disappointing campaign. Tracks the pass in the air and gets vertical. Effective when he extends to make the reception away from his frame. Uses his large frame to shield away defenders and protect the pass. Comes back to the ball, extends his hands to offer the quarterback a target and works to make himself an available receiver. Adjusts to the ball at full speed and looks the pass in.

Plays to one speed and lacks a deep burst. Must improve his footwork running routes. Unnecessarily lets the ball get inside him at times.

Hunter possesses the measurables and the ability to make a roster as a possession wideout, yet he must improve the details of his game and start to produce at a higher level.
Keleki Latu
Washington
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Athletic tight end with nice size coming off a terrific season. Locates the open spot in the defense, extends his hands and offers the quarterback a target. Tracks the pass in the air, displays focus as well as concentration and consistently extends to make the reception away from his frame. Adjusts backwards to grab the errant throw in stride. Sturdy and takes a big hit yet holds onto the ball. Explosive, fires off the snap into blocks and plays with leverage.

Does not play to his 40 time. More of a short-range target.

Late had a career season in 2024, catching 40 passes for Washington. He possesses size and growth potential and will make an NFL roster if he learns to play to his 40 time.
DJ Uiagalelei
Florida State
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Well-traveled quarterback who sells ball fakes, remains poised under the rush and steps up to avoid defenders and get the throw away. Puts speed on passes and shows the ability to get the ball through the tight spots. Throws with a fluid over-the-top delivery, takes the safe underneath outlet and easily moves outside the pocket to buy time. Keeps his eyes downfield when throwing in motion, can withstand the rush and fires downfield passes with speed.

Late on many of his throws. Streaky and played poor football for long stretches. Passes tend to get away from him and open receivers have to work hard to come away with the reception. Does not find defensive backs in the secondary. Suffered an injury last season and was limited to five games. Never really improved the past few years.

As a freshman at Clemson, Uiagalelei looked like a potential top quarterback prospect after filling in for Trevor Lawrence when the 2021 No. 1 pick was sidelined with Covid. His game since leveled off and even went backwards at times, and Uiagalelei went from potential early-round pick to undraftable prospect. He possesses the size and arm strength to play on Sundays, yet he needs to be coached up and improve almost every aspect of his game.Massive space eater who flashes athleticism. Takes up a lot of room in the middle of the line, attracts double-team blocks and plays with outstanding pad level. Fires off the snap with an outstanding first step and gets leverage on opponents. Quickly gets his hands up and uses them to protect himself. Displays a variety of moves to protect himself, stands up blockers and consistently clogs the middle of the line. Penetrates the backfield and makes his presence felt.

Slow getting off blocks and does not show much contact balance off the initial hit. Average pass rusher. More of a short-area defensive lineman who is ineffective outside the box.

Biggers is a physically imposing nose tackle/zero-technique defensive lineman with eye-popping explosion. His ability to eat up space in the bill of the line on Sundays will allow teammates to get to the ball.
Gaethan Bernadel
Stanford
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Florida International transfer who was a tackling machine at Stanford the past two seasons. Breaks down well, uses his hands effectively and sells out upfield on the blitz. Quick diagnosing plays, flows laterally to the action and displays a short burst of speed. Easily changes direction and wraps up tackling. Hard hitter who brings ball carriers down on initial contact.

Best in the box and lacks lateral range. Does not display speed in pursuit and cannot recover. Struggles in coverage.

Despite his measurables, Bernadel presents himself as a two-down, run-defending linebacker who must play in the box. He comes with a special-teams mentality, which will be his avenue into the NFL.
Steven Losoya III
Vanderbilt
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Hard-working interior blocker who gets the most from his ability. Bends his knees, blocks with excellent pad level and explodes off the snap into blocks. Possesses terrific vision, keeps his head on a swivel and nicely adjusts to pick up stunts or twists. Quick to the second level and gets good fits on linebackers. Keeps his feet moving in pass protection. Quick when asked to kick out or pull.

Gets no movement run blocking and needs a running start into opponents. Gets knocked back off the line by defenders. Lacks footwork in space.

Losoya was a terrific offensive lineman for Mississippi State then Vanderbilt last season, yet he comes with minimal upside. He's a zone-blocking linemen with average athleticism, yet his football intelligence and tenacity could help him catch on as an inexpensive backup.
Kobe Savage
Oregon
S
Ht:
Wt:
Tough, run-defending safety with nice size. Keeps the action in front of him, quickly picks up assignments and is effective in the middle of the field. Physical, works hard and gives effort against run plays and screen passes. Effectively brackets receivers over the middle of the field with cornerbacks. Displays solid lateral speed.

Deep speed is a concern. Marginal ball production.

Savage racked up a lot of tackles for both Oregon and Kansas State, his former college, but he has speed and scheme limitations.
JJ Galbreath
South Dakota
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Athletic pass-catching tight end with a large upside. Sells routes, tracks the pass in the air and competes to come away with the reception. Athletic, quickly gets in and out of breaks and moves well around the field. Extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame most of the time. Starts with good knee bend, gives effort blocking and is explosive at the point.

Has a bit of a thin build. Lacks strength at the point and rarely finishes blocks, even on the small-school level. Has never been overly productive, totaling just 68 receptions and nine TDs the past two seasons.

Galbreath has the size and speed to project as a move tight end on Sundays. His upside is enticing and could end up landing him in the late part of the draft and eventually on a practice squad next season.
Brandon Johnson
Oregon
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Slightly undersized cornerback who projects to dime packages at the next level. Quickly picks up assignments and stays with receivers. Covers a good amount of area, is best facing the action and displays a nice move to the throw. Aggressive, works hard to defend run plays and screen passes and fights to get off blocks and make plays.

Slow in transition and struggles staying with receivers on crossing patterns. Does a lot of faceguarding.

Johnson has flashed skill, but he must play in a system facing the action to have a chance at the next level.
Shaquan Loyal
Rutgers
S
Ht:
Wt:
Tough run-defending safety who flashes ability in coverage. Diagnoses plays, picks up coverage assignments and tracks the ball in the air. Has an explosive closing burst, hits hard and lays it on the line. Does an outstanding job defending the run and makes a lot of athletic plays.

Struggles in man coverage and gets turned. Can be late arriving to the action.

Loyal possesses solid computer numbers and has been a terrific run defender at Rutgers while watching his play in coverage improve the past year. He offers possibilities in dime packages and comes with a special-teams mentality.
Sebastian Valdez
Washington
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Athletic defensive line prospect with excellent size and speed. Plays with tremendous pad level as well as leverage, fires off the snap and keeps his feet moving. Fluid when asked to twist or stunt and easily gets down the line of scrimmage or outside the box to make plays in pursuit. Gives great effort and plays through the whistle.

Not a bulky defender and gets knocked around by blockers or blown off the ball. Did not display himself as a top pass rusher last season.

Valdez was a productive run-defending lineman at Washington and comes with an upside. He must get stronger and improve his pass-rush skill, but he is worth stashing on the practice squad this fall.
Isaac TeSlaa
Arkansas
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Big-bodied, surehanded receiver with upside. Quick, shows good route discipline and stays with the action. Breaks off routes to help the quarterback when the passer is in trouble and works to become a free target. Possesses quick, strong hands and snatches the ball out of the air. Tracks the ball, gets vertical and wins out for the contested grab. Timed the forty in 4.43 at the Combine, much better than expected.

Not a deep threat. Needs to sharpen his route running. Marginally productive for Arkansas the past two seasons.

TeSlaa possesses the size and skill to be a possession wideout at the next level and comes with upside. At the very least, he's a practice-squad prospect who should be kept around for future development.
Xander Mueller
Northwestern
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Hard-charging linebacker who plays like his hair is on fire. Smart, disciplined and effectively makes the defensive calls. Takes proper angles to the action, plays faster than his 40 time and shows ability in pursuit. Keeps the action in front of him, quickly diagnoses plays and flashes ability in zone coverage. Stacks well against the run and wraps up tackling.

Not super athletic. Lacks next-level speed.

After recording 110 tackles as a junior in 2023, Mueller struggled with injury last season and took a step backwards. He's a tough, run-defending middle linebacker with potential as a backup who should stand out on special teams.
Joey Aguilar
Appalachian State
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Strong-armed passer and two-year starter coming off a slightly disappointing campaign. Athletic and possesses a quick release as well as a live arm. Powers the pass through the tight spots, loses nothing throwing on the move and gives receivers a chance. Effectively plays from the pocket, challenges in the vertical game and remains poised under the rush. Keeps his eyes downfield and goes to checkdown receivers if nothing is available. Arm strength allows him to make a lot of difficult throws. Sits in the pocket and takes a big hit to get the ball away.

Late delivering throws. Has receivers adjusting to passes. Not averse to throwing the ball into a crowd. Touchdown-to-interception ratio is nearly 2-to-1.

Aguilar is a nice-sized quarterback for the next level arm who disappointed NFL scouts by not showing much improvement in his game. He possesses the physical skills to play on Sundays, but he needs a lot of work to complete his game.
John Campbell Jr.
Tennessee
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Seventh-year senior who began his college career at Miami. Large, powerful lineman who is a terrific run blocker. Fires off the snap, works his hands throughout the action and stays square. Explosive, keeps his head on a swivel and always looks for someone to hit. Patient in pass protection, makes good use of angles and moves relatively well for a big tackle.

Lack smooth and fluid footwork off the edge. Struggles finishing blocks. Must be more cognizant of his hand placement.

Campbell was a durable and productive starter for Tennessee, lining up at both left and right tackle the past two seasons. He's a size prospect who lacks upside, yet the versatility he brings could help him find a roster spot as a backup.
Anthony Session
California
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated, athletic offensive lineman with an upside. Explosive and athletic. Fires into blocks and plays with leverage. Stays square and seals defenders from the action. Quick to the second level, shows the ability to adjust and is effective blocking in motion.

Plays with limited strength and consistently falls off opponents rather than finishing blocks. Bends at the waist and overextends. Lacks smooth and fluid footwork off the edge.

A three-year starter for California at right tackle, Session possesses the athleticism and movement skills to line up as a zone-blocking guard, but he must improve his playing strength and playing balance.
Andre Jefferson
Lenoir Rhyne
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Explosive and somewhat athletic defensive tackle who moves well around the field. Plays with great pad level, gets leverage on opponents and is tough to knock off his feet. Fluid when asked to twist or stunt, moves well in every direction and pursues plays down the line of scrimmage. Quickly gets his hands up, effectively uses them and shows the ability to play off blocks. Immediately locates the ball handler, has good athleticism for a big man and plays with a vicious attitude. Consistently gets double-teamed by opponents yet slices inside blocks to make plays.

Lacks great quickness and has an inconsistent first step. Easily out-positioned from the action by a single blocker. Played in just six games last season after suffering an injury.

Jefferson was a nuisance prior to 2024, combining for 26 sacks and 39 TFLs during his sophomore and junior seasons before deciding to return to the field for another year. He played in just six games and now moves towards the draft with medical questions. At the top of his game, Jefferson projects as an explosive three-technique tackle with the ability to line up in a four-man front.
Rivaldo Fairweather
Auburn
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated tight end who plays with a lot of athleticism. Quickly releases into pass routes, adjusts to the errant throw and gets down to scoop up low passes. Fights with his hands to separate from opponents, makes his way back to the quarterback and uses his frame to shield away defenders. Makes the difficult catch in contorted positions and extends to snatch the ball away from his frame. Quick to the second level, effective blocking in motion and easily redirects to defenders.

Plays faster than he times yet isn’t a downfield threat. Inconsistent. Marginally productive the past three seasons.

Fairweather flashes skill as well as ability and at times stood out at Auburn with his pass-catching skills. He offers possibilities as a backup move tight end and could be a key free-agent signing after the draft.
Jabbar Muhammad
Oregon
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Small yet feisty cornerback who gets the most from his ability. Battles receivers throughout the route, quickly locates the ball and works hard to break up passes. Displays a closing burst, gives effort defending the run and flies around the action.

Consistently beaten out by larger receivers. Slow transitioning off the line, lacks deep speed and is consistently playing catch-up.

Muhammad is a hard-working cornerback with size limitations. Potentially a dime back on Sundays, he'll have to stand out on special teams to make a roster.
Hudson Card
Purdue
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Former Texas quarterback who is patient, remains poised under the rush and shows excellent field vision. Scans the field, goes through progressions and spreads the ball around, using all his receivers. Takes the safe underneath outlet if nothing else is available, shows great awareness and puts touch on throws. Easily gets outside the pocket to make the throw on the move and is relatively accurate. Displays a sense of timing and does not make receivers work to come away with the catch. Does a solid job delivering deep passes. Effective picking up yardage with his legs.

Lacks size and struggles to withstand the rush. Passes tend to float. Never had great production in college and threw a lot of interceptions the past two years. Coming off a disappointing and injury-plagued season.

Card is a heady RPO quarterback with enough ability to back up on Sundays and make a roster as the third signal caller.
Jeremiah Byers
Florida State
OG
Ht:
Wt:
UTEP transfer who started the past two seasons at right tackle. Blocks with solid fundamentals, bends his knees and immediately gets his hands up. Explosive, anchors in pass protection and keeps his feet moving. Stays square, fights throughout the action and blocks with a nasty attitude. Makes good use of angles in pass protection, jolts defenders with outstanding hand punch and keeps his head on a swivel.

Really doesn't finish blocks and struggles handling linebackers. Off balance in pass protection. Missed time last season and was used on a rotational basis.

Byers is a nice-sized, small-area blocker who comes with an upside, but he must improve his playing strength and balance to make an NFL roster.
A.J. Henning
Northwestern
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Michigan transfer coming off a career season. Quickly releases off the line into pass routes, immediately gets to top speed and has a burst. Tracks the pass in the air, nicely times receptions and contorts or adjusts to make the difficult catch. Remains disciplined with routes, extends his hands and snatches the ball away from his frame. Effectively times receptions, gets vertical and snatches the ball from the air.

Comes with average height. Lacks the second gear. Not a true vertical threat.

Henning was a dependable receiver at Northwestern the past two seasons and offers potential as a slot wideout/return specialist on Sundays.
Wy'Kevious Thomas
South Alabama
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Quick one-gap defensive tackle coming off two disappointing seasons. Fires off the snap with an explosive first step, quickly gets his hands up and effectively uses them to protect himself. Plays with excellent pad level, gets leverage on opponents and easily moves about the field. Displays good change-of-direction skills and the ability to get out into space and pursue plays. Fluid when asked to twist or stunt and works to make plays against the run.

Easily disrupted from the action or blocked by a single opponent. Not much of a pass rusher. Displayed little improvement in his game the past two years.

Thomas is a defensive line prospect who was given late-round grades from scouts, yet he never lived up to expectations. He possesses the style and substance to line up as a one-gap tackle, yet he must turn up the intensity and production to make it out of camp this summer.
Mason Cobb
USC
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Slightly undersized yet hard-working linebacker who plays with a vicious attitude. Quick, breaks down well and shows a closing burst to get to the action. Flies around the football, chases the action hard and flows well laterally. Covers a lot of area on the field, wraps up tackling and brings opponents down in space.

Not a stout linebacker and struggles stacking against the run. Gets a little too amped up at times and overpursues plays. Better in the box and laterally defending the run than covering the pass.

Cobb is a hard-charging linebacker who comes with limited size and growth potential. He's a one-gap defender who plays with a special-teams mentality.
Cameron Broussard
Washington
S
Ht:
Wt:
Tall, athletic safety with an upside. Effective facing the action, possesses an explosive closing burst and hits hard. Works to keep the play in front of him and looks athletic on the field.

Marginally instinctive, bites on play-action passes and gets caught out of position. Totaled just 32 tackles last season without an interception.

Broussard originally started his college career at Sacramento State and possesses the size and speed for the next level, yet he looked out of place playing against better competition last year. He's a developmental prospect with an upside, yet he must complete his game.
Trey Wedig
Indiana
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Wisconsin transfer coming off a career season at right tackle. Patient in pass protection, makes excellent use of angles and displays solid range off the edge. Stays square, out-positions defenders from the action and works hard. Sets with a wide base and bends his knees. Effective with his hands and keeps his feet moving.

Must improve the strength of his base. Gets knocked around or backed into the pocket. Does not get much movement run blocking.

After being a backup for most of his career at Wisconsin, Wedig moved into the starting lineup for Indiana last season at right tackle and had a terrific campaign. He's a developmental prospect with solid size as well as growth potential, but he must really improve his playing strength to have any chance of sticking on a roster.
Connor Bazelak
Bowling Green
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Underrated quarterback who has shown consistent improvement in his game the past two seasons. Patient in the pocket, remains poised under the rush and does a great job leading the offense. Possesses a strong arm, puts speed on throws and gets the ball through the tight spots. Displays a sense of timing on passes, does not have receivers waiting for the ball to arrive and can make all the throws. Accurate and displays the ability to place passes where only his receiver can come away with the ball. Takes the safe underneath outlet if nothing else is available. Keeps his eyes downfield rolling outside the pocket.

Tends to stare down the primary target. Does not consistently follow through and releases the ball off his back foot.

Bazelak is a nice-sized pocket passer who did a terrific job at Bowling Green after transferring from Indiana. Often dismissed, he possesses enough physical skills to compete for a job in camp this summer.
Jordan Turner
Michigan State
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized run-and-chase linebacker who began his college career at Wisconsin. Breaks down well, displays good change-of-direction skills and stays with assignments. Keeps the action in front of him, effectively uses his hands and fires upfield to defend the run. Consistently flies around the action and sells out to make plays.

Inefficient, bites on ball fakes and gets caught out of position. Marginal production in coverage.

Turner is a hard-charging linebacker with average size and speed for the next level, yet he offers potential in a one-gap system. In the end, he will have to earn his wage on special teams.
Ezekiel Correll
North Carolina State
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Former highly rated offensive line prospect who began his college career at Notre Dame. Blocks with leverage, stays square and moves incredibly well on the field. Keeps his head on a swivel, quarterbacks the offensive line and works hard. Fires off the snap into blocks and is explosive at the point.

Lacks strength, gets knocked off the line by defenders and does not get movement run blocking. Rarely finishes blocks.

Correll was graded as a mid-Day 3 pick by scouts entering the season, yet he never lived up to expectations. He lacks the size and strength for a power gap system as well as the athleticism to play in a zone scheme.
Tyler Cooper
Minnesota
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Strong, quick offensive lineman who flashes athleticism. Sets with a wide base, fights with his hands throughout the action and controls opponents once engaged at the point of attack. Fires off the snap into blocks, stays square and anchors in pass protection. Quick to the second level, engages linebackers and seals them from the action.

Must do a better job sinking his butt and bending his knees at the line of scrimmage. Tends to fall off blocks rather than finishing off opponents. Sat on the sidelines the first four years of his Minnesota career.

Cooper watched his game take off last season and has the measurables to get consideration in a zone-blocking scheme. He comes with an upside, yet he must finish off his game to make a roster.
Thor Griffith
Louisville
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Harvard transfer who fires off the snap and plays with terrific pad level. Quickly gets his hands up and uses them to protect himself. Penetrates the gaps to get behind the line of scrimmage, moves well around the field and has a closing burst of speed. Fluid getting down the line in pursuit of the action, is rarely off his feet and consistently plays with leverage. Agile with the ability to immediately change direction or redirect to the play.

Consistently controlled at the point by a single blocker last year. Got knocked around in the middle of the field. Does not show much power in his game despite his size. Coming off a disappointing season.

Griffith transferred to Louisville after an outstanding career in the Ivy League, but he didn't have much impact. He possesses the size and athleticism to line up as a three-technique tackle and could be a steal as a free-agent signing if he gets his game back to where it was in 2023.
Jack Conley
Boston College
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Sixth-year senior coming off the best campaign of his college career. Quickly sets up off the snap, starts with excellent knee bend and uses his hands effectively. Fires into blocks, plays with strength and stays square. Anchors at the point of attack and seals defenders from the action. Keeps his feet moving, works well with linemates and is quick in all areas of his game. Flashes the ability to kick out or pull across the line of scrimmage, displays excellent blocking vision and out-positions opponents from the action.

Lacks balance as well as footwork in space. Struggles redirecting or adjusting on the second level. Does a bit of bending at the waist.

After being a part-time starter prior to this season, Conley was a mainstay for Boston College at right guard and showed a lot of ability in 2024. Though there’s inconsistency in his game, he's a bigger offensive lineman who blocks with solid fundamentals and shows next-level ability. At the very least, Conley should be stashed on the practice squad and allowed to continue developing his game.
Brett Gabbert
Miami-Oh
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Productive and athletic quarterback who made a heroic return from a disastrous injury. Patient, sits in the pocket and remains poised under the rush. Possesses a quick release, immediately gets the ball out of his hands and loses no velocity throwing passes on the move. Keeps his eyes downfield, consistently challenges the vertical game and drives deep throws with speed. Senses the rush, remains poised and leaves the pocket only when necessary. Possesses a quick release and a sense of timing and does not have receivers waiting on the ball. Solid deep passer who consistently gives receivers a chance to come away with the long throw.

Does not always find players in the secondary. Slow moving his head from the primary target. Has a long injury history that must be examined. Had a poor touchdown-to-interception ratio last season.

After struggling through an injury-plagued 2022 campaign, Gabbert suffered a significant compound fracture of his right leg the following year that was thought to be career-ending. Making an incredible comeback, he returned to play productive football last season. The younger brother of Blaine Gabbert, he's an athletic passer with practice-squad potential if he passes medicals.
Brandon Brown
UTSA
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Explosive, wide-bodied defensive lineman who shows playmaking ability. Fires off the snap with an explosive first step, plays with terrific pad level and gets leverage on opponents. Keeps his feet moving, works his hands and shows good change-of-direction skills. Powerful in his lower body, bull rushes opponents off the line and shows resilience. Chases the action hard and works to make plays.

Slow shedding blocks and must develop more moves. Controlled by a single opponent. Lack of height can be an issue.

Brown was a force in the middle of the Roadrunners defensive line and someone opponents consistently focused on. He must polish his game, yet he has the strength and style to line up as a nose tackle who can occupy gaps and make plays on the ball on Sundays.
Julius Buelow
Mississippi
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Massive small-area blocker best in the running game. Quickly sets up off the snap, shows patience and stays square. Sinks his butt, starts with terrific knee bend and sets with a wide base. Strong, turns defenders off the line and gets movement run blocking. Patient in pass protection and anchors at the point.

Minimally effective blocking in motion and cannot hit a moving target. Was never a full-time starter during his college career.

Buelow is a large blocker who can be used at several positions on the offensive line and is just starting to hit his stride. He offers possibilities as a power gap lineman and could be an inexpensive utility backup.
Bo Belquist
North Dakota
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Incredibly productive small-school receiver with natural pass-catching skills. Quickly releases off the line of scrimmage, immediately gets to top speed and runs solid routes. Fires into breaks, stays low on exit and positions himself to catch the pass. Tracks the pass in the air, extends and exposes himself to come away with the reception and snatches the ball away from his frame with strong hands. Does an outstanding job following his quarterback across the field to make himself an available target and uses the sidelines exceptionally well. Solid run-after-the-catch skill.

Not a strong blocker. Lacks deep speed and plays to one gear.

Belquist is an underrated pass catcher who combined for 246 receptions and more than 3,000 receiving yards the past four seasons. He comes with average size and less than desirable speed, yet his natural pass-catching skill will give a chance to make a roster next fall.
Ozzie Hutchinson
Albany-NY
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Large and somewhat athletic tackle prospect who will get consideration at guard on Sundays. Sets with a wide base, works to bend his knees and quickly sets up off the snap, immediately getting into blocks. Quick to the second level and explosive. Strong run blocker who turns defensive linemen and linebackers from the action. Keeps his head on a swivel and shows excellent awareness. Possesses a nice frame and is effective with his hands.

Struggled with a foot injury last season and missed time. Tends to get a little tall as the play proceeds. Does a bit of bending at the waist and must improve his ability blocking in motion.

Hutchinson is a nice-sized lineman who played left tackle in college and is a developmental prospect who offers scheme versatility in the future.
Matthew Salopek
Miami-Oh
OLB
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized linebacker who was a playmaker and tackling machine the past four years. Incredibly instinctive, locates the ball handler and sells out to make plays. Fires up the field to defend the run, easily changes direction and quickly gets to the action to make the tackle. Disciplined, tough and stays with assignments. Sells out on the blitz. Gets depth on pass drops, flows laterally and shows ability in zone coverage. Does a great job making the defensive calls and getting teammates in proper position.

Lacks size and strength and is easily out-positioned by blocks. Does not display great pursuit speed.

Salopek has been one of the better defenders in the nation and recorded 100 or more tackles each of the past four seasons. During that time, he also broke up 17 passes and intercepted four more. He does not pass the eyeball test and lacks the size as well as the speed that teams want in a draft pick, yet his instincts, toughness and intuition could help him catch on as an eighth linebacker/special-teams player.
DJ Jones
UAB
OT
Ht:
Wt:
Murray State transfer coming off a disappointing campaign. Fundamentally sound, blocks with leverage and stays square. Patient, quickly sets up in pass protection and keeps his feet moving. Can slide off the edge, makes good use of angles and shows ability in pass protection. Agile with the ability to adjust.

Not an overpowering blocker and struggles finishing off opponents. Heavy-footed getting out to the second level and does not play like a top athlete. Must be more consistent with his hand placement.

Scouts graded Jones as a potential late-round pick the past two seasons, yet he never truly elevated his game and struggled against better competition last season. He possesses size and growth potential and has flashed athleticism, which warrants consideration for a practice squad this fall.
Desmond Watson
Florida
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Massive interior defensive lineman who clogs the middle of the field and can be an overwhelming force. Fires off the snap with an explosive first step, commands double-team blocks and is powerful. Keeps his feet moving, strong in his lower body and knocks blockers off the line. Displays good change-of-direction skills for a big man, possesses a short burst of speed and plays with excellent pad level for the most part. Gets leverage on opponents, works his hands throughout the action and keeps his feet moving.

Consistently tipped the scales over 400 pounds and is too big. Just a small-area lineman who cannot get outside the box and make plays. Recorded 1.5 sacks and just three TFLs in four years of Florida.

Watson is a mountain of a man who projects as a zero-technique or nose tackle on Sundays, but he must significantly shed weight and expand his game.
Nate Kalepo
Mississippi
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Massive small-area blocker who plays with a nasty attitude. Fires off the snap and is strong and explosive at the point. Sets with a wide base, works to bend his knees and stays square to seal defenders from the action. Plays through the whistle and gives effort trying to annihilate opponents.

Lacks footwork and balance in pass protection. Struggles to adjust and is minimally effective blocking in motion.

Kalepo did a terrific job for Mississippi last season after transferring from Washington and offers potential as a backup guard in a power gap scheme.
Payton Thorne
Auburn
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Intelligent, tough quarterback who gets the most from his ability. Patient, scans the field and goes through receiver progressions. Displays a sense of timing, does not have receivers waiting on the ball and is accurate. Puts touch on throws and shows the ability to place passes into the receiver’s hands. Poised as the pocket collapses around him, uses all his targets and displays outstanding field vision. Correctly reads defenses, senses the rush and is a legitimate threat to pick up yardage with his legs.

Must put a lot of effort to get speed on throws. Cannot drive deep passes. Loses accuracy throwing on the move.

Though lacking top physical skills for the next level, Thorne has always been a quarterback that played over his head. The ability to read defenses, see the field and make proper choices will give him a chance at the next level.
Branson Combs
Wake Forest
LB
Ht:
Wt:
Former receiver who was been a tackling machine for Southern Illinois then Wake Forest. Instinctive, quickly diagnoses plays and moves well laterally. Displays speed in pursuit, cuts off the corners from ball handlers and is fluid moving in every direction. Breaks down well, sells out making plays and fires upfield on the blitz. Easily changes direction and has a closing burst to the play. Remains disciplined with assignments and wraps up tackling.

Not a big linebacker and easily taken from the action. Displays average skill in coverage.

Combs lacks top size for the next level, yet he is a relentless run defender who can be an asset on special teams.
Trey Washington
Mississippi
S
Ht:
Wt:
Slightly undersized safety with a complete game. Keeps the action in front of him, quickly locates the ball handler and displays speed up the field or laterally. Plays heads-up football, quickly picks up coverage assignments and displays a closing burst to the action. Gives effort defending running plays and screen passes and wraps up tackling. Aggressive.

Get tall in his tackling. Small and lacks next-level speed.

Washington lacks great physical skills, yet he's a terrific football player who can be effective as a dime safety and play special teams.
Donte Kent
Central Michigan
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized cornerback who displayed a good deal of progress in his game last season. Quick and fluid pedaling in reverse, stays on the receiver’s hip out of breaks and fires to the ball out of his plant. Physical, works hard to get involved in the action and gives effort defending the run. Immediately picks up and stays with assignments. Doubles as a punt returner.

Not an overwhelming athlete. Has just two interceptions in five years of college football.

Kent is rarely spoken about in scouting circles, yet he showed improved ball skills last season and has always been a tough run defender at Central Michigan. He possesses enough ability to line up in dime packages in either zone or man coverage, and his punt-return skills are added value.
Bryce Pierre
UCLA
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Athletic tight end prospect with upside. Quickly releases off the line, runs sharp routes for a bigger tight end and makes the difficult catch in a crowd. Extends his hands to make the reception away from his frame, adjusts to the errant throw and displays reliable hands. Moves well on crossing patterns and shows excellent route discipline. Keeps his head on a swivel as a blocker and stays square.

Does not block with proper pad level, gets narrow-based and shows average strength. Turned in pedestrian production on the college level, with his best season resulting in 17 receptions when he was with Arizona State.

Pierre possesses the size and speed to play on Sundays, but he must really piece together a full game. His underlying ability coupled with the flashes shown the past two seasons make him worth stashing on the practice squad.
Kamaar Bell
South Carolina
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Florida Atlantic transfer who initially began his college career at Auburn and is coming off a terrific season. Bends his knees, blocks with leverage and stays square. Fires off the snap into blocks, blocks with a wide base and anchors in pass protection. Keeps his head on a swivel and picks up stunts and blitzes.

Doesn't get much movement run blocking. Possesses average size and growth limitations.

Bell was consistent and durable throughout his college career then watched his game take off last season. Based on his ability, he offers possibilities in a zone-blocking scheme.
Jordan McCloud
Texas State
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Athletic quarterback who turned in two productive seasons at Texas State after stops at James Madison, Arizona and South Florida. Patient, poised and athletic. Sells ball fakes, senses the rush and steps up in the pocket to buy time and avoid defenders. Possesses a live arm, easily airs out the deep ball and makes a lot of difficult throws. Outstanding vertical passer who drives the ball downfield. Elusive, easily avoids the rush and is a threat to pick up yardage with his legs.

Tends to stare down the primary target. Can be all over the place with throws. Forces the ball into coverage on occasion. Possesses a touchdown-to-interception ratio which is just under 3-to-1 the past two seasons.

McCloud is a big-armed passer who also makes plays with his legs like a running back and can produce in a number of ways. He offers possibilities as an RPO quarterback, but he needs to improve his accuracy and the details of the position.
Anthony Torres
Toledo
TE
Ht:
Wt:
Large blocking tight end who also catches the ball well. Explosive, displays outstanding blocking vision and keeps his head on a swivel. Always looks for someone to hit, gets a pad on defenders to chip them from the action and blocks with leverage. Fluid releasing off the line of scrimmage into pass routes and tracks the pass in the air. Gets vertical and contorts to the errant throw to make the catch with defenders draped on him. Displays good route discipline and stays with assignments.

Not fast and plays to one speed. Average production as a pass catcher.

Torres is a tough tight end and a throwback of sorts. He's a traditional blocker who is also effective as a short-range target, and he has enough ability to make a roster that keeps three tight ends.
Rush Reimer
California
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized interior offensive lineman with next-level computer numbers. Fundamentally sound, quickly gets into blocks and plays with leverage. Keeps his feet and hands active throughout the play and is explosive and strong enough to turn defenders from the action. Keeps his head on a swivel, works well with linemates and plays through the whistle.

Does not play like a good athlete or show much ability on the second level. Must improve his overall playing strength and rarely finishes blocks.

Reimer possesses decent size and growth potential and has the athleticism to develop into a utility lineman, yet he must quickly elevate his game to make it out of camp this summer.
Giles Jackson
Washington
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Small yet explosive wideout coming off a career season. Quickly gets off the line, immediately gets to top speed and possesses a burst. Tracks the pass in the air and displays focus as well as concentration and eye/hand coordination. Adjusts to the errant throw, comes away with the difficult reception in contorted positions and extends to make the catch away from his frame. Quickly gets into routes, separates from defenders and is effective running after the catch. Experienced as a return specialist.

Undersized and loses out in battles. Marginally productive for most of his college career until last season.

Jackson is a quick and surehanded slot receiver who needs space to work. He offers possibilities in a timing offense, and his deep speed and potential as a vertical threat will be attractive.
Dennis Briggs Jr.
Illinois
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Explosive three-technique lineman who began his college career at Florida State in 2018. Fires off the snap with a quick first step, consistently plays with leverage and easily moves around the field. Works his hands throughout the action and keeps his feet moving. Fluid when asked to twist or stunt. Gives effort and plays through the whistle.

Lacks size and strength and gets knocked around in the middle of the field. Does not show great lateral speed pursuing plays outside the box despite his 40 time. Overaged.

A career backup throughout most of his college career, Briggs possesses the size, quickness and movement skills to line up as a one-gap/three-technique tackle.
Ethan Miner
Mississippi State
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Hard-working and once-highly rated center with an average physical skills. Blocks with excellent knee bend, stays square and fires off the snap. Quick to the second level, easily redirects or adjusts to defenders and is effective blocking in motion. Keeps his head on a swivel, works well with linemates and is effective with the shotgun snap.

Must improve the strength of his base, as he rarely finishes blocks or gets movement on running downs. Consistently off balance.

Miner is a hard-working offensive lineman, but he’s small and comes with growth limitations. Effective in motion, he’ll have an outside chance to make it as a backup in a zone-blocking system.
Zakhari Franklin
Illinois
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Well-traveled receiver who finished his career at Illinois after stops at Mississippi and UTSA. Displays naturally soft hands, plays with outstanding body control and adjusts to the errant throw. Displays great focus as well as concentration, possesses eye/hand coordination and makes a lot of difficult receptions. Comes back to the ball to make himself an available target, gets vertical over defenders and looks the ball into his hands. Competes to come away with the contested grab and snatches the ball out of the air. Natural hands catcher who is smooth and fluid. Nicely makes the reception on crossing patterns, adjusts backwards and catches the ball in stride.

Lacks quickness and speed and plays to his 40 time. Does not show a burst in his game. Average run-after-the-catch skill.

Franklin was an incredibly productive receiver who finished with 321 receptions and 42 TDs over the course of his six-year college career. He's a surehanded possession wideout with nice length and a head for the game.
Amar Johnson
South Dakota State
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Versatile running back coming off a career season. Patient, displays outstanding vision and effectively uses blocks everywhere on the field. Strong, runs with excellent lean and falls forward when tackled. Breaks arm tackles and picks up yardage off initial contact. Weaves through the traffic and picks his spots whenever the ball is in his hands. Turns it upfield, has a burst and gets a lot of momentum going. Solid receiver tracking the pass in the air and extending to make the reception away from his frame. Gives effort blocking downfield.

Not a truly creative ball carrier and struggles avoiding piles or defenders. Lacks the speed and agility to turn the perimeter.

Johnson comes off the season where he rushed for 1,222 yards and 14 TDs while adding 30 receptions. He lacks next-level size and speed numbers, but his versatility will be key in determining whether he makes a roster.
Derwin Burgess Jr
Georgia Southern
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Productive three-year starter with average size and speed. Sells routes, comes back to the ball out of breaks and extends his hands to make the catch away from his frame. Adjusts to the errant throw, does a great job tracking the pass in the air and gets down to scoop up low throws. Consistent hands catcher with a sense of timing as well as eye/hand coordination. Reliable, finds the open spot in the defense and competes to come away with the catch.

Plays to one speed and cannot beat defenders in a footrace. Lacks great height.

Burgess combined for 191 receptions the past three seasons and was a consistent target for Georgia Southern. He lacks size and comes with ordinary speed, yet receiving skills will give him a chance to catch on as a team's fifth receiver.
Hudson Clark
Arkansas
S
Ht:
Wt:
Instinctive, hard-working safety best in run defense. Keeps the action in front of him, effectively makes plays against screen passes and works hard against the run. Efficient, takes proper angles to the action and stays with coverage assignments. Tracks the pass in the air, has a nice move to the throw and flies around the football.

Lacks quickness and lateral speed. Slow in his transition and loses opponents early in the routes. Struggled with injuries last season and generally disappointed.

Clark is a box safety who lacks range and speed. He plays with a special-teams mentality and could be an asset as the ninth defensive back in the secondary.
Jacob Gideon
Western Michigan
OG
Ht:
Wt:
Versatile and hard-working blocker who can play any of the Interior offensive line positions. Fundamentally sound, explosive at the point and works blocks. Stays square, anchors in pass protection and effectively uses his hands. Quick pulling across the line of scrimmage, gets to the second level and shows terrific blocking vision. Resilient and rarely off his feet. Flashes power in his lower body and the ability to drive defenders off the line.

Lacks footwork in space and struggles sliding laterally. Tends to fall off blocks rather than finish off opponents. Possesses the size of a zone blocker and the speed of a power-scheme lineman.

Gideon was a terrific blocker at Western Michigan, yet he lacks the underlying physical skills to play on Sundays. His approach to the game, blocking intellect and versatility could help him latch on as an inexpensive swing lineman.
Diwun Black
Temple
OLB
Ht:
Wt:
Athletic and explosive college defensive end who must learn to play standing over tackle on Sundays. Quick in his all-around game, fights with his hands and plays with balance as well as body control. Rarely off his feet, fires off the snap with an explosive first step and plays with leverage. Easily changes direction, quickly gets down the line of scrimmage in pursuit of the action and gives effort against the run. Flashes outstanding pass-rush ability, bending off the edge and creating disruption.

Missed much of the first half of last season and never really developed his game. Slow getting off blocks. Handled at the point by a single opponent or smothered from plays altogether.

From a size and speed perspective, Black grades as a middle-round prospect and has flashed ability the past two years. He's never developed a complete game and is very much a developmental prospect, yet he should be given consideration for practice squad.
Joe Evans
UTSA
DT
Ht:
Wt:
LSU transfer coming off a disappointing season. Fires off the snap with an explosive first step and is fluid and quick when asked to twist or stunt. Displays good change-of-direction skills, moves well for a big man and chases the action laterally. Very explosive, consistently gets leverage on opponents and displays a burst of speed. Impossible to move off the point and holds his ground against double-team blocks.

Marginally productive. Slow getting off blocks. Does not play like an overpowering lineman.

From a size perspective, Evans is a next-level prospect who has shown ability in spurts. He's never been consistently dominant, and at times it seems like he'd rather be doing something other than playing football. Evans possesses an upside, yet he must quickly impress a team in camp this summer or he’ll be looking for a new line of work.
Nick DeGennaro
Richmond
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Productive and reliable wideout coming off an injury-plagued campaign. Displays good route discipline, comes back to the ball out of breaks and adjusts to the errant throw. Tracks the pass in the air, displays eye/hand coordination and makes the difficult over-the-shoulder reception at full speed. Knows where he is on the field, nicely times receptions and possesses strong hands. Consistently settles in the open spot on the field to make himself an available target. Uses his frame to shield away defenders and protect the pass. Helps out returning punts.

Possesses average quickness and speed. Does not show much of a burst. Not a big or stout receiver.

DeGennaro was a productive receiver at Richmond, combining for 162 receptions the past three seasons despite missing time last year with injury. He's a possession wideout who runs solid routes and could make a timing offense as a fifth receiver.
Clarence Lewis
Syracuse
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Former Notre Dame transfer who displays a lot of next-level ability. Quickly picks up and stays with coverage assignments, keeps the receiver in front of him and competes to break up throws. Has a nice move to the pass, tracks the ball in the air and displays a closing burst. Gives effort defending run plays and screen passes, works to get off blocks and fires to the action.

Does a bit of face guarding and is better off facing the action. Must improve his backpedal, as he's often off balance and stiff moving in reverse.

Despite falling off the scouting radar after a solid career at Notre Dame, Lewis displayed himself as a next-level cornerback at Syracuse, intercepting one pass and breaking up 13 more. Best in a zone system or backed off the line of scrimmage, he has enough ability to make a roster as a dime back.
Dontae Manning
Oregon
CB
Ht:
Wt:
Nice-sized corner who shows ability over the slot receiver. Engages wideouts, mixes it up throughout the route and works to get his head back around to track the pass in the air. Stays on the opponent’s hip out of breaks, displays a good move to the throw and effectively times pass defenses. Displays good hands for the interception. Fires up the field and sells out to defend the run.

Slow transitioning off the line, which puts him a half-step behind the action. Marginally productive in college.

Manning has shown enough flashes of ability the past two seasons to make me believe he could make an NFL roster as a dime back/special-teams player.
Will Rogers
Washington
QB
Ht:
Wt:
Mississippi State transfer who is patient in the pocket and spreads the ball around. Displays a sense of timing on short as well as intermediate passes. Remains poised as the pocket collapses around him and moves to the outside to give himself a better view of the field and buy time. Displays enough elusiveness to scramble away from defenders. Looks for the safe underneath outlet when nothing else is available.

Very streaky. All over the place with deep throws. Must improve his corner and fade patterns. Game has leveled off and even gone in reverse the past two seasons.

Rogers look like a potential early first-round pick at quarterback early in his career at Mississippi State, yet he struggled much of the past three seasons. He possesses the size and field vision to play on Sundays, yet he must really get his game back on track and significantly improve his accuracy.
Marion Lukes
Central Michigan
RB
Ht:
Wt:
Hard-charging ball carrier who is also effective catching the ball out of the backfield. Possesses terrific short-area quickness, bounces around piles and can turn the corner. Plays faster than his 40 time and displays a burst of speed as well as outstanding vision. Runs hard on the inside, follows blocks and rarely gets brought down by the first defender. Solid pass catcher out of the backfield who tracks the ball in the air, adjusts and snatches the pass with strong hands.

Not a quick cutback runner for a smaller ball carrier and loses momentum immediately when altering the angle of runs. Possesses poor size and speed.

Lukes was a terrific ball carrier at Central Michigan who was productive in a variety of ways, and he has enough ability to catch onto a roster as a situational or third down back.
Devonte O'Malley
Northern Illinois
DT
Ht:
Wt:
Hard-charging, one-gap defensive and who plays with a nonstop motor. Fires off the snap with a great first step, plays with terrific pad level and consistently gets leverage on opponents. Explosive, moves well laterally and strings plays out to the sidelines. Keeps his feet moving and works his hands throughout the action. Fluid if asked to twist or stunt.

Lacks bulk and strength and is easily out-positioned from the action. Gets knocked around if he does not get the first step on blockers.

O'Malley was a leader on the field who played hard on every down. He lacks size and does not have much growth potential, yet he could line up as a three-technique defensive tackle in a four-man front that protects him.
Logan Jones
Iowa
OC
Ht:
Wt:
Durable three-year starter at center who began his career at Iowa on the defensive line. Sets with a wide base, bends his knees and fires off the snap into blocks. Quick to the second level, redirects or adjusts on the move and can hit a moving target. Explosive at the point, plays through the whistle and shows a lot of ability in motion. Effective with the shotgun snap.

Lacks size and strength at the point and gets overwhelmed by larger defensive lineman. Doesn't get much movement run blocking.

Jones comes with less-than-desirable measurables, yet he shows a lot of ability on film blocking on the second or third level. His ability to block on the move will give him an opportunity to back up in a zone-blocking scheme.
Steven Parker
Texas State
OLB
Ht:
Wt:
Athletic one-gap defensive end who was a solid pass rusher at Texas State. Explosive, breaks down well and has a stout build. Fires off the snap with a quick first step, plays with leverage and attacks opponents. Gets a lot of momentum going up the field, can be tough to stop and makes a good number of plays behind the line of scrimmage.

Lacks bulk and is easily out-positioned by a single blocker. Turned in marginal production last season. Has an injury history.

Parker possesses outstanding size as well as speed, yet he is very rough around the edges and shows a one-dimensional game. He possesses an upside as well as possibilities as a situational pass rusher and at the very least should land on the practice squad this fall.
Dante Wright
Temple
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Undersized receiver who also doubles as a return specialist. Flexible, agile and fluid moving in every direction of the field. Quickly releases off the line and immediately gets to top speed. Comes back into the clearing to make himself an available target, tracks the pass in the air and adjusts to the errant throw or gets down to scoop up low passes. Displays good route discipline, quickly gets in and out of breaks and stays low on exit, extending his hands to offer the quarterback a target. Consistent hands catcher who snatches the ball out of the air and displays eye/hand coordination. Very effective on receiver screens. Gets vertical in a crowd and competes to come away with the reception.

Not a stout or big-bodied receiver. Must improve his ball security. Lacks true deep speed. Marginal blocker.

Wright really watched his game and production take off last season playing for a poor Temple program. He shows enough ability to compete for roster spot as a slot receiver/return specialist.
J.J. Roberts
Marshall
S
Ht:
Wt:
Productive run-defending safety with average size and speed. Effectively diagnoses plays, keeps the action in front of him and fires upfield, giving effort against the run or screen throws. Explosive, hard hitter who drives his shoulders through tackles. Effectively tracks the pass in the air and has a nice move to the throw. Remains disciplined with assignments.

Lacks lateral speed and is late getting to the flanks in deep coverage. Not a big or stout safety. Lacks hands for the interception.

Roberts combined for 167 tackles the past two seasons and was constantly around the ball making positive plays. He lacks the athleticism to be a true center fielder, but he does offer potential in a zone system. Roberts also comes with a special-teams mentality.
Dymere Miller
Rutgers
WR
Ht:
Wt:
Small-school transfer who had a terrific campaign at Rutgers last season. Comes back to the ball out of routes, gets vertical and contorts or adjusts to the errant throw. Extends his hands, catches the ball away from his frame and effectively makes the reception in stride. Flashes strong hands and the ability to pull the ball from the air.

Plays to one speed. Does not consistently come away with the contested grab.

Dating back to the 2022 season when he played at Monmouth, Miller was consistently productive on the college field. He lacks top size and speed, yet he offers potential in the slot.
