  1. Phillip Thomas, S, Fresno State
    Height: 6-1. Weight: 208. Arm: 30 1/4. Hand: 9 1/4.
    40 Time: 4.65.
    Projected Round (2013): 2-3.

    4/24/13: Thomas led the nation with eight interceptions in 2012. He had three picks against Colorado, returning two of them for touchdowns. Thomas also recorded 82 tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, four passes broken up and four forced fumbles. He really put himself on the map with his big plays and made up for lost time.

    Thomas played well at the Senior Bowl, which helped his draft standing, but he was underwhelming at the Combine. He ran better at his pro day with a 40 time of 4.53 seconds. Thomas took a medical redshirt in 2011 and missed the entire season after breaking a leg and dislocating an ankle three days before the first game. He had 64 tackles and three interceptions in 2010.


  2. Robbie Rouse, RB, Fresno State
    Height: 5-5. Weight: 190. Arm: 27 1/2. Hand: 9 1/8.
    40 Time: 4.80.
    Projected Round (2013): 6-FA.

    4/24/13: Rouse averaged 5.3 yards per carry and ran for 1,490 yards with 12 touchdowns as a senior. He also caught 63 passes for 435 yards and two touchdowns. Rouse ran for 1,549 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2011. He is a good runner and receiver, but struggled as a blocker in blitz protection at the Senior Bowl.

    Rouse is thickly built, but is still extremely undersized for the NFL. He had a surprisingly slow 40 time at the Combine.
