Mike Mason - 5115, 190, 4.31 Tennessee State

Has great timed speed and extremely quick with a burst. A deep vertical threat. He changes directions well and is elusive in the open field. Decent ball skills with very good hands. His size and bulk are adequate. Can also contribute as a return man.

Character, maturity and attitude are major question marks. He was never overly productive. Is not very strong or physical and will struggles to beat the jam. A marginal blocker. Lacks toughness and hears footsteps. Just might have a limited upside.

Played most of his career at North Carolina until he was dismissed from the team due to off-the-field transgressions. He definitely has some tools to work with and you can't teach speed. Needs to keep is head on straight to even have a chance.

John Broussard - 6006, 176, 4.38, San Jose State

Explosive receiver who flashes the ability to stretch the defense. Displays a good sense of timing, offers the quarterback a nice target and consistently extends to make the reception away from his frame. Has a burst of speed and solid open-field running skills.

Does not always come away with the difficult catch and loses out in battles against larger opponents. Marginally productive on the college level.

After a promising junior campaign, Broussard was unable to capitalize or take his game to another level last year. His speed will help him get into a camp next summer, where he must produce on special teams.

Drisan James - 6000, 193, 4.55, Boise St.

Adequate height. A vertical and deep threat. Does a good job of getting off the line. Very athletic with good hand-eye coordination and ball skills. Terrific leaper.and a elusive playmaker. Displays nice body control. Aggressive & goes after the ball.

Needs to add some bulk. Speed and quickness are nothing special. A mediocre route runner that is not real physical and lacks toughness. Doesn't do much after the catch. Hands are shaky. Doesn't work the middle. Has some attitude concerns.

Notes:
Was overshadowed at times by Legedu Naanee and Jerard Rabb. Has some tools to work with and did a nice job considering his opportunities were somewhat limited. May be able to stick as a #4 or #5 guy.

Derek Stanley - 5099, 172, 4.45, Wisconsin-Whitewater

Has terrific timed speed. Elusive and runs well after the catch...A big play threat who is a good leaper. Has decent hands. Has experience as a return man. Has lots of special teams potential.

Undersized and doesn't have either the ideal height of bulk you look for. Did not play against top competition and will be making a huge leap. Not a great route runner and needs to work on his technique. Probably more of a long-term project.

Was a man amongst boys at the Division III level. Also played a little defense in college. He could be a real interesting developmental guy. Profiles as more of a backup or slot receiver and return specialist in the pros. A nice sleeper prospect.

Onrea Jones - 5111, 202, 4.42, Hampton

He plays faster than he times and has good size and toughness. Onrea Jones, WR, from Hampton has the West Coast receiver with attractive 6'2" 202 height Weight package.

Not very quick Onrea Jones looks like a possession receiver who has deceptive build up speed to occasionally burn tight coverage. He is still raw in terms of routes and reading coverage.

Based purely on his measurables and most of his production: 2006 - 32-631-19.7-2 in 2005. 7-49-7.0 in 2004, 2003 [was missed due to academics]

Lorenzo Hoffman - 6064,216, 4.68, Alabama State

short shuttle in 4.45 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.43 seconds. He measured a 31-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot-5 broad jump and completed 13 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press.

Marquay McDaniel - 5106, 205, 4.58, Hampton

A smooth athlete that i very athletic. A terrific route runner that is more quick than fast with great change of direction. Elusive and has a burst. Great hands. A hard worker and team leader with top intangibles. Solid blocker. Can return kicks and punts.

Size is only average. Timed speed is nothing special. Needs to get stronger. Will get jammed at the line. Is not a deep threat. His upside may be limited. Didn't play against elite competition.

The type who does most everything well but nothing great. Will never be a star in the NFL but could make a roster and contribute as a backup wideout. His most significant contributions might come on special teams. Profiles as a slot receiver.

Jeff Samardzija - 6-5, 216, 4.50, Notre Dame
Worth a last round pick just incase.

Brad Ekwerekwu - 6036, 209 4.48 Missouri (TE/WR)

A long strider who is deadly after the cacth. Very fluid. A very good athlete with great hands.

Display good open field speed and looked a little sluggish trying to get downfield at times. Has not yet grasping the subtlities of using his size, speed, and leaping ability..

Played slot, WR and TE.

short shuttle in 4.02 and the three-cone drill in 6.78. He had a 37½-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot-6 broad jump and 17 bench presses.

Julius McClellan - 6035, 246, 4.56, North Carolina Central

He also had a 32-inch vertical jump, 9-foot-3 long jump, 7.84 three-cone drill and 14 bench presses.
