3/28/10: Pulled his hamstring during the Pro Day 40, which impacted his time.
1/18/10: There’s a lot of concern here. First, Jason Fox just had knee surgery. Second, he missed the final game of the regular season with an irregular heartbeat. Teams may shy away from this suddenly risky prospect.
10/24/09: Anchoring upstart Miami’s offensive line. Projects as a left tackle.
2/9/09: Missed some time with a leg injury as a junior.
7/27/08: An athletic left tackle who has been a starter for Miami ever since he arrived on campus.

2/28/10: Jimmy Graham didn’t disappoint in the 40 (4.56) and definitely looked like a natural tight end in the drills. Some team will take a chance on him in Rounds 3-4.
1/21/10: A forward on the Miami basketball team, Jimmy Graham is a project but has a ton of upside and athleticism. He caught 17 passes for 213 yards and five touchdowns in his only year playing football.

5/21/08: After a decent 2006 campaign, Javarris James struggled last year, gaining just 3.7 yards per carry. He was hindered by inconsistency; for every 18-carry, 103-yard performance against N.C. State, there was a 10-carry, 7-yard blunder versus Virginia Tech.

2/19/09: Unlike last year, Darryl Sharpton stayed healthy all year. He had 58 tackles, six TFL and 1.5 sacks.
5/11/08: Struggled with injuries in 2007 and looked out of place when he returned to the lineup.
2007: Darryl Sharpton, who was moved into the starting lineup as a freshman, maintains incredible speed at his size. If he can run in the 4.4s at the Combine, he’ll skyrocket even further up this chart.

2/14/09: A monstrous nose tackle who compiled six TFL and five sacks. Somehow just an All-ACC honorable mention.
