Most college football fans know the story of Mark Herzlich; a bona fide first round talent in 2008 is diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a form of bone cancer, and must miss the entire 2009 season. He returned to the field in 2010 cancer-free but was not the same player. Because of chemo and radiation treatment his weight was down and his explosiveness gone.

Projection: 3rd round

Jarrett will not wow you with his athleticism and speed but has the skills to be a starting NFL safety. He shows good recognition skills in coverage and is always in position. Is better in zone coverage but can cover slot receivers.

S, Florida
5-9, 185, 4.5-40
Projection: 3rd round

Black makes plays all over the field. He is aggressive in run support and has good coverage ability. He is small for a safety and that will cause his stock to drop. He was very productive for the Gators intercepting 13 balls over his last three years.

CB, North Carolina
5-9, 180, 4.47-40
Projections: 4th round

Strictly a nickel corner. Burney lacks the size to line up as an every down corner but he plays bigger than his measurables. He is quick and athletic. Has good short-area burst to make plays in front of him.

G, Miami
6-6, 318, 5.3-40
Projection: 3rd round

Has experience at both guard and tackle but projects to guard at the next level. Is a physical blocker who plays with a mean streak. Has good size and bulk for the position. Is a very good run blocker - good quickness off the snap and takes good angles.

QB, Alabama
6-2, 220, 4.8-40
Projection: 5th round

McElroy lacks the size and arm strength to be a starter in the NFL but he will be a solid back up. Very smart, reads defenses well and makes quick decisions. Is poised in the pocket and does a good job of sidestepping the rush. Is very mature and does not try to do too much - knows when to get rid of the ball when nothing is there. Has very good mechanics and shows good balance as a passer.

WR, Pittsburgh
6-5, 225, 4.48-40
Projection: 3rd round

Has rare size, speed and athletic ability. Has excellent hands. Tracks the ball well in the air. Has good body control and adjusts well to off-target throws. Uses his size to his advantage gaining position over smaller DB’s. Is at his best going up high where he can use his long arms and leaping ability.

RB, Virginia Tech
5-9, 212, 4.5-40
Projection: 2nd round

Williams has the vision, balance and instincts to be a top-flight back in the NFL. He is at his best when he can make one cut and go - has rare cutback ability. He is very patient and sets up his blocks well. Has quick feet and changes direction well and explodes out of his cuts.

OLB, Oklahoma
6-3, 260, 4.8-40
Projection: 3rd round

A very consistent player. Has good pass rush skills - can bend the corner and beat the OT to the outside. Has a quick first step and uses his hands well. Very smart.

S, West Virginia
6-5, 215, 4.5-40
Projection: 4th round

Even with Jim Leonhard in the line up the Jets had problems matching up against tight ends. When he went down with an injury, they struggled even more. Brodney Pool came on late and played well in the playoffs but he did not distinguish himself in coverage this past season and may not be brought back.
