2011 Small School Prospects- Final Edition
Thank you all in the interest in the small school rankings. By now, you should all know the drill, but I will give a brief rundown.
I define small school prospects as players who did not play FCS. This includes players from FBS (formerly D1AA), DII, DIII and NAIA players. Somewhere around 20 small school players get drafted each year, with another 30-50 getting UDFA and camp tryout offers. So this weekend if you hear a name you are unfamiliar with, I hope that you can find him here, and get a rough idea of his ability and potential. As always, I am happy to discuss my rankings and individual prospects (including those that just missed the cut, and are therefore not found in the list). It should be noted that the heights and weights are from either NFLDRAFTSCOUT or JBSCOUTING, as I have found them to be more trustworthy that the numbers given by colleges. However, the rankings are completely and totally my own, formed from hours of film, reading player reviews, and talking with other draftniks such as yourselves.
Also, these rankings are NOT how I think NFL teams are going to draft. Some players dont have the measurables that scouts love, but the game tape in stats show a true football player. Other players have the sick measurables, but lack the game tape for me to feel comfortable ranking highly.
I think thats about it, thanks for reading everyone!
