Georgia
Rennie Curran, OLB, Georgia Height: 5-11. Weight: 235.
Projected 40 Time: 4.59.
Combine 40 Time: 4.72.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.67.
Benchx225: 25. Vertical: .
Projected Round (2010): 4-5.
1/11/10: Rennie Curran has declared for the 2010 NFL Draft. Curran is 4-3 only, so he could slip this April. He just turned 21, so I don’t see what the rush is. Curran would have been better off going back to school.
1/8/10: Led the SEC with 131 tackles. Rennie Curran also had 5.5 TFL and three passes broken up. He’s expected to declare for the 2010 NFL Draft along with teammate Reshad Jones.
2/16/09: Although he was just a sophomore in 2008, Rennie Curran was one of the few bright spots for the Bulldogs; the 220-pound linebacker garnered 115 tackles, 10 TFL and three sacks. Like all of the other sophomore linebackers on this list, Curran will need to add about 10 pounds of bulk.
8/2/08: Despite being a true freshman last year, Rennie Curran started five games. He had 53 tackles (nine for loss). He was a member of the Freshman All-America first team.
Reshad Jones, FS/SS, Georgia Height: 6-1. Weight: 214.
Projected 40 Time: 4.54.
Combine 40 Time: 4.54.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.52.
Benchx225: 24. Vertical: 39.5.
Projected Round (2009): 2-3.
3/3/10: Reshad Jones ran well (4.54) and had a nice vertical (39.5) at the Combine. I also thought he looked very good in the drills.
1/5/10: Reshad Jones has declared for the 2010 NFL Draft. Jones probably won’t be a first-round pick, but as a 22-year-old fourth-year junior, the timing is probably right. No need to risk injury.
5/23/09: As a sophomore, Reshad Jones managed 76 tackles, five interceptions and three passes broken up.
Michael Moore, WR, Georgia Height: 6-2. Weight: 198.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.45.
Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2010): FA.
1/19/10: Not the senior year Michael Moore was hoping for. The filmaker caught only 25 passes for 249 yards and five scores.
2/7/09: When he’s not making videos to piss off half the nation, Michael Moore is putting up mediocre stats at Georgia. Moore had 29 receptions for 451 yards and two touchdowns as a junior with Matt Stafford under center.
Jeff Owens, DT, Georgia Height: 6-1. Weight: 304.
Projected 40 Time: 4.98.
Combine 40 Time: 4.97.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.88.
Benchx225: 44. Vertical: .
Projected Round (2010): 4-5.
1/24/10: Didn’t bounce back well off his knee injury; had 32 tackles, 3.5 TFL and a sack this year.
2/14/09: Suffered a torn ACL in the 2008 season opener.
5/9/08: A quick under tackle with speed who can get to the quarterback. Putting up 525 pounds ain’t bad either.
2007: Jeff Owens may be the smaller of the two Georga defensive tackles, but don’t underestimate his strength; Owens can bench more than 525 pounds.
Kade Weston, DT, Georgia Height: 6-5. Weight: 320.
Projected 40 Time: 5.05.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.97.
Benchx225: . Vertical: .
Projected Round (2010): 7-FA.
1/24/10: Solid numbers for a nose tackle: 28 tackles, six TFL and two sacks.
2/14/09: In 10 games, Kade Weston managed 18 tackles and 3.5 TFL.
8/1/08: A huge defensive tackle who made five starts and registered 6.5 tackles for loss. Kade Weston had six starts as a freshman as well.
Penn State
Navorro Bowman, OLB, Penn State Height: 6-0. Weight: 242.
Projected 40 Time: 4.62.
Combine 40 Time: 4.72.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.61.
Benchx225: 26. Vertical: .
Projected Round (2010): 2-3.
3/18/10: Like every Penn State player at their Pro Day, Navorro Bowman ran a great 40.
1/5/10: Navorro Bowman has declared for the 2010 NFL Draft. Bowman has legal issues in his past, and being strictly a 4-3 linebacker, the lack of demand for that position could force him into Round 3.
5/20/09: Sentenced to probation a second time in April. The first was for disorderly conduct. The second for marijuana. Brad Childress is already interested.
2/16/09: Arguably the best player on Penn State’s defense Navorro Bowman had 106 tackles, 16.5 TFL, four sacks and five passes broken up.
Daryll Clark, QB, Penn State Height: 6-2. Weight: 235.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.61.
Hand: 9 1/2.
Projected Round (2010): 7-FA.
1/15/10: Notched 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions on a 7.9 YPA and 60.9 completion percentage. Unfortunately, the offense he played in was goofy and didn’t translate to the NFL – and I’m saying this as a Penn State alumnus.
2/4/09: A strong-armed quarterback who can move the chains with his legs. Daryll Clark threw for 2,597 yards, 19 touchdowns and six picks as a first-year starter. His YPA (8.1) was very impressive.
Dennis Landolt, OT, Penn State Height: 6-4. Weight: 310.
Projected 40 Time: 5.11.
Pro Day 40 Time: 5.00.
Benchx225: . Arm: .
Projected Round (2010): 6-7.
1/18/10: An AP All-America third-teamer.
2/9/09: After a very good junior season, Dennis Landolt was voted as an All-Big Ten honorable mention.
7/27/08: A first-year starter in 2007, Dennis Landolt surprised many by becoming one of the team’s top offensive lineman almost instantly. Landolt is athletic and could play on either side at the next level.
Sean Lee, ILB, Penn State Height: 6-2. Weight: 236.
Projected 40 Time: 4.78.
Combine 40 Time: 4.72.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.60.
Benchx225: 24. Vertical: .
Projected Round (2010): 3-4.
3/18/10: Sean Lee ran a great 40 at his Pro Day (4.60), but it’s hard to take that seriously because nearly every Penn State player ran a blazing-fast 40 time.
1/8/10: Sean Lee did a terrific job bouncing back off his ugly knee injury, mustering 86 tackles and 11 TFL in 10 games this year. Lee is a first-round talent, but teams may be scared off by his recent ACL tear.
2/19/09: Sean Lee needs to prove that he’s not a risk, given that he’s coming off a torn ACL. Lee was a former first-round prospect.
Andrew Quarless, TE, Penn State Height: 6-4. Weight: 254.
Projected 40 Time: 4.59.
Combine 40 Time: 4.69.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.59.
Benchx225: 23. Vertical: . Arm: 34.
Projected Round (2010): 6-7.
2/28/10: Andrew Quarless had a solid 40 (4.69), but dropped numerous balls in the drills and generally looked sloppy. Quarless has a laundry list of off-the-field issues, so a weak Combine is not what he needed.
1/21/10: Andrew Quarless had a very impression senior campaign, catching 41 balls for 536 yards and three touchdowns. More importantly, he hasn’t gotten into trouble in a long time.
10/10/09: It looks like Andrew Quarless has finally gotten his act together; through five games, he has 16 receptions for 153 yards. Even better, he hasn’t been suspended in a while.
1/5/09: A first-round talent with a seventh-round attitude. Whoever drafts Andrew Quarless will have to deal with a major headache. Quarless had 11 catches, 117 yards and a touchdown in 2008.
5/23/08: Andrew Quarless is just as talented as any tight end on this list, but he has major character issues. He slacks in practice and it seems like he gets suspended every other week. When will he grow up and stop acting like a spoiled 4-year-old? If Quarless had decent character traits, he’d top this list easily.
Mickey Shuler, TE, Penn State Height: 6-4. Weight: 251.
Projected 40 Time: 4.80.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.69.
Benchx225: 28. Vertical: 37. Arm: .
Projected Round (2010): 7-FA.
1/21/10: Finished his senior year with 11 catches. Contributed mostly with blocking.
2/8/09: An elite blocking tight end, Mickey Shuler chipped in with nine receptions for 120 yards and a touchdown in 2008.
7/27/08: Mickey Shuler caught just seven passes in 2007, but he happens to be one of the top blocking tight ends in the 2010 class.
A.J. Wallace, CB, Penn State Height: 6-1. Weight: 195.
Projected 40 Time: 4.49.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.45.
Benchx225: 14. Vertical: .
Projected Round (2010): 7-FA.
1/9/10: Suspended for two games for not going to class. Hey, A.J., next time pay some freshman to go to class for you.
3/7/09: More playing time actually hurt A.J. Wallace, as he was often exposed. Still, he runs a great 40, so someone will consider him in the later rounds.
8/5/08: A.J. Wallace will have scouts and GMs drooling, as he easily runs a 4.3 with a very nice frame (6-1). He started four games as a sophomore, and recorded 33 tackles and four pass break-ups. He also had a touchdown on a kick return. Wallace will have more playing time with Justin King off to the NFL.
Eastern Washington
Matt Nichols, QB, Eastern Washington Height: 6-2. Weight: 219.
Projected 40 Time: 4.78.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.88.
Hand: .
Projected Round (2010): FA.
7/24/08: Matt Nichols put up prolific numbers at Division 1-AA Eastern Washington as a sophomore (3,744 yards, 34 TDs, 9 INTs), but he didn’t play any BCS competition, so we don’t really know what he’s made of just yet.
Nathan Overbay, TE, Eastern Washington Height: 6-5. Weight: 259.
Projected 40 Time: 4.90.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.74.
Benchx225: 19. Vertical: 28.5. Arm: .
Projected Round (2010): 7-FA.
1/21/10: Nephew of Toronto Blue Jays player Lyle Overbay, Nathan caught 51 passes for 588 yards and 13 touchdowns as a senior.
Central Washington
Johnny Spevak, WR, Central Washington Height: 6-2. Weight: 210.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.60.
Vertical: 29.5. Broad: 9-2.
Projected Round (2010): 7-FA.
1/19/10: As a senior, Johnny Spevak had 74 receptions, 1,020 yards and 12 scores.
2/7/09: Johnny Spevak dominated the opposition in 2008, finishing with 91 catches, 1,442 yards and a whopping 20 touchdowns.
