Duke Williams, S, Nevada
Height: 5-11. Weight: 201. Arm: 30. Hand: 9 5/8
Projected 40 Time: 4.56.
Projected Round (2013): 3-4.
4/24/13: A lot of teams have shown interest in Williams. He played well in 2012, totaling 106 tackles, 5.5 tackles for a loss, eight passes broken up and three forced fumbles. Oddly enough, Williams struggled at the East-West Shrine, but he rebounded to have a good week at the Senior Bowl.

Williams had 83 tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss, six passes broken up and one interception in 2011. He totaled 74 tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss, four passes broken up, two forced fumbles and two interceptions as a sophomore.

Stefphon Jefferson*, RB, Nevada
Height: 5-11. Weight: 213. Hand: 9.18.
40 Time: 4.68.
Projected Round (2013): 4-6.
4/24/13: Jefferson could be this year’s Alfred Morris; a sleeper running back who surprises everyone in the NFL. Jefferson has quickness to go along with power and size. He finished second in the FBS in rushing this year with 1,883 yards (5.0 average) with 24 touchdowns. Jefferson also caught 22 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown.

Jefferson has fresh legs after serving as a backup in 2011 and 2010. He is high-character individual who will be a good teammate and locker-room presence.
