Speed: 4.39
20 yard shuttle: 4.08

WR Brad Ekwerekwu, 6' 3" 209 Lbs. Missouri
Brad looks like a possible late round sleeper prospect or more like a priority free agent, at Missouri’s pro day he measured in at 6’ 3.5” 209 pounds and ran a 4.40 second forty yard dash, also recorded a 37 1/2 vertical, 3.88 short shuttle, 60 yard shuttle 10.85, 10'6" broad jump. His 6.62 second 3-cone time was spectacular. Ekwerekwu didn’t have great production at Missouri, but he is a silky-smooth, long-striding wideout with excellent size, speed and good hands. He is a 3-year starter and was the team captain and the most experienced WR on the squad with 34 career starts. He needed just 5 catches and 44 yards to reach 100 catches and 1,000 yards for his career.

CB C.J. Wilson, 6' 1" 195 lbs. Baylor
Wilson was at one time a highly rated cornerback that didn’t run very well at the 2007 NFL Combine, his official 40 time of 4.64 seconds was devastating to his draft stock. However, he greatly improved his 40 time at Baylor’s Pro day, he measured in at 6' 1” 195 pounds and ran a 4.48 second forty.

CB Courtney Brown, 6’ 1” 200 lbs. Cal-Poly
Brown put up some very respectable numbers at the San Jose’s Pro Day. He ran the 40 in 4.32, had a vertical of 41.5, broad jump--10' 11", short shuttle--4.06, 3 cone--7.12 and did 15 reps on the bench.

S Nedu Ndukwe, 6' 1" 206 lbs. Notre Dame
Speed: 1.59 second 10-yard split4.52 second 40 yard dash

DT Walter Thomas, 6' 5" 370 lbs. NWCC
What does the 2005 NFL Draft and the 2007 NFL Draft have in common? There were/are two players from a community college that were/are major NFL Prospects. In the 2005 NFL Draft, Larry Brackins was from Pearl River Community College and was drafted in the 5th round (19th pick) by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brackins tested positive for steroids and is not on the Bucs roster currently. This year in the 2007 NFL Draft there is a monster defensive tackle named Walter Thomas from Northwest Mississippi Community College. Thomas weighed 6' 5" 370 pounds at the Texas vs. Nation All-Star game, and can reportedly run in 4.8-4.9 range. He was heavily recruited, but left Oklahoma State early in his college career. Thomas Played in only two games last year (2006) for his tiny Community College, but completely and utterly dominated those games with 16 tackles, 9 tackles for loss and 4 sacks. Thomas is only a junior, so this young man has a lot of upside. He has been all the talk recently among NFL Scouts, and I have even heard some say he could be drafted as early as the 6^th round in the 2007 NFL Draft.

S Eric Frampton, 5' 11" 200 lbs. Washington State
Pro Day: Ran his 40s in 4.56 and 4.53 seconds. He also notched a 36 ½-inch vertical. 2006 Stats: Teams leading tackler with 100 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 5 interceptions, 8 pass break-ups.

OT Jacob Bender, 6' 6" 315 lbs. Nicholls State
Very under rated tackle with great feet. Ran his 40 yard dash in 5.22 seconds. Has dominated his competition thus far in college. Bender has the talent to start in the NFL with a little seasoning.

Safety Darren Stone, 6' 3" 220 lbs. Maine
Pro Day: Ran his 40s in 4.47 and 4.56. He also had a 39 ½-inch vertical jump, 11-foot-5 long jump and 15 bench presses.
