Michigan State
Blair White, WR, Michigan State Height: 6-2. Weight: 205.
Projected 40 Time: 4.51.
Combine 40 Time: 4.50.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.42.
Vertical: 35.5. Broad: 10-0.
Projected Round (2010): 4-5.
3/20/10: Blair White had a great Pro Day, running a 4.42. He’ll be sought after in Rounds 4-5 for a team looking for a pro-style receiver.
1/19/10: The Blair White Project finished his senior campaign with 70 catches, 990 yards and nine touchdowns.
11/7/09: Through eight games, the Blair White Project has 52 receptions, 766 yards and seven scores.
10/10/09: Blair White is having a great senior season; he has 29 catches, 399 yards and four touchdowns through five games.
Illinois
Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois – Scouting Report Height: 6-1. Weight: 218.
Projected 40 Time: 4.46.
Combine 40 Time: 4.48.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.40.
Vertical: 37.5. Broad: 10-1.
Projected Round (2010): 1-2.
3/20/10: Arrelious Benn ran a great 4.40 at his Pro Day. He’ll likely be the second or third receiver taken off the board.
3/1/10: Mixed reviews at the Combine: Arrelious Benn had a very nice 40 (4.48) at his size, but dropped numerous passes in the drills. He’s Braylon Edwards 2.0.
1/3/10: Arrelious Benn has declared for the 2010 NFL Draft. Benn had a disastrous junior season mired by drops and poor effort (i.e. the Bengals might be interested in Round 1). Still, it was a great move to get out of the Illinois sinking ship.
11/7/09: Needs to practice catching toilet paper in the super market; his hands suck.
10/10/09: Juice Williams’ ineptness has debacled Arrelious Benn, who has only 10 catches in four games. Benn’s role in Illinois’ goofy offense will cost him on Draft Day.
2/7/09: Lucky for Arrelious Benn – all the top 2010 and 2011 receiving prospects declared, making him the No. 1 wideout on the board. Big Benn caught 67 passes for 1,055 yards as a sophomore.
7/26/08: The Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Arrelious Benn led the Fighting Illini with 54 catches and 676 yards. He was consistent all year, registering at least four receptions in 11 of his 13 games.
Michael Hoomanawanui, TE, Illinois Height: 6-4. Weight: 263.
Projected 40 Time: 4.73.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.77.
Benchx225: 25. Vertical: 32.5. Arm: 33.
Projected Round (2010): FA.
1/21/10: Michael Hooma had 10 grabs for 114 yards in eight games.
2/8/09: Ugh. I can’t even pronounce Peria Jerry, and they’re giving me this guy? I’m going to call this person Michael Hooma from now until he retires from the NFL. Hooma had 25 receptions, 312 yards and two touchdowns in 2008.
Juice Williams, QB, Illinois Height: 6-1. Weight: 226.
Projected 40 Time: 4.67.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.91.
Hand: .
Projected Round (2010): 7-FA.
1/15/10: Showing absolutely no leadership in a miserable senior campaign, Juice Williams collected 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions on a 57.7 completion percentage and 7.2 YPA.
5/10/09: Could be drafted as some exotic Wildcat specialist like Pat White. Will probably play another position.
2/4/09: I’m still listing Juice Williams here, but he’ll most likely play another position in the NFL. Williams heaved 16 interceptions and had just a 57.5 completion percentage. On the bright side, he threw for 3,173 yards and 22 touchdowns, maintained an 8.3 YPA and rushed for 719 more yards.
7/24/08: There’s no question Juice Williams will be playing at the next level. It’s just a matter of which position he’ll play. Williams is a threat at Illinois because of his dynamic rushing ability, but his mediocre completion percentage and touchdown-to-interception ratio say otherwise of his ability to be a quarterback in the NFL. Seriously, you can’t go 7-of-15, 145 yards and two picks against Ball State.
UTEP
Cornelius Brown, CB, UTEP Height: 5-11. Weight: 198.
Projected 40 Time: 4.53.
Combine 40 Time: 4.56.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.46.
Benchx225: 11. Vertical: 31.
Projected Round (2010): 7-FA.
Da’Mon Cromartie-Smith, FS, UTEP Height: 6-2. Weight: 206.
Projected 40 Time: 4.56.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.50.
Benchx225: 20. Vertical: 32.
Projected Round (2010): 7-FA.
1/14/10: A tackling machine, Da’Mon Cromartie-Smith had 106 tackles and four TFL as a senior. Cromartie-Smith only broke up one pass, but still was voted to the All-Conference USA First Team.
3/13/09: An All-Conference USA honorable mention, Da’Mon Cromartie-Smith finished his junior campaign with 77 tackles, three passes broken up and two interceptions.
8/6/08: This Cromartie hopes he’s as good as the other two. Da’Mon started every game as a sophomore, and logged 90 tackles, seven pass break-ups and two picks. Needs a better 40 to warrant draft consideration.
Jeff Moturi, WR, UTEP Height: 6-0. Weight: 183.
Projected 40 Time: 4.43.
Pro Day 40 Time: 4.42.
Vertical: 30.5. Broad: 9-10.
Projected Round (2010): 7-FA.
1/19/10: Had 53 catches, 974 yards and four touchdowns as a senior.
2/7/09: Jeff Moturi’s numbers fell a bit, as he caught 51 passes for 655 yards and nine touchdowns. Still, his 40 time will impress some GMs.
7/26/08: Emerged as one of the top receivers in Conference USA in 2007, notching 65 catches, 891 yards and 13 touchdowns as a mere sophomore. Jeff Moturi had two games where he caught at least 10 passes. A member of the All-Conference USA first team.
