Scouts are intrigued by James Casey, Rices do-it-all prospect from Azle. As a freshman, Casey played seven positions in one game. He is working out as at tight end, where hes been compared to Indianapolis Dallas Clark.
Casey told me last week that a few teams also have talked to him about doubling as a quarterback in the Wildcat, something he did at Rice.
"Im one of the few players in college who had an opportunity to be a Wildcat quarterback," Casey said in a telephone interview. "It takes a different mind-set to do that, and I have experience doing it."
Tennessee Titans head scout C.O. Brocato thinks Casey will be drafted in the second round because of his versatility. Casey stands 6-foot-3, weighs 246 pounds, has a 41-inch vertical jump, managed 28 reps in the 225-pound bench press at the combine, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.71 seconds and has a 3.84 grade-point average as a triple major in economics, managerial studies and sports management.
"Hes a great athlete and a very interesting prospect," Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson said at the NFL Scouting Combine. "I like a guy that played baseball. It shows hes athletic.
"Casey is very confident in his ability, and hes willing to work hard to get what he wants."
