Here’s a look at the top five.
• Tre Mason, Auburn, 5-foot-8, 207 pounds, 4.50 40-yard time
“He’s very efficient; he doesn’t waste steps,” the AFC executive said. “Once he’s in the open field, he has good, but not great, speed. His game is based on short area quickness and breaking tackles. Right now, he is a second-rounder, and there is a chance he ends up being the first back taken
“He came on late,” the NFC personnel man said. “He has good vision, and for a guy his size, he doesn’t wear down. He’s probably the best one of them all.”
• Carlos Hyde, Ohio State, 5-11, 230, 4.66
“One-cut downhill runner, who can pick up yards after contact,” the AFC executive said. “He looks like he has the burst and the quickness to hit the hole before it closes. He has a lot of power and can run over you.”
“Strictly a power back,” the NFC personnel man said. “He runs over you, not around you. Little worrisome about some stuff (tested a nine on the Wonderlic test).”
“I think he could slip into the bottom of the first round,” the NFC scout said. “He’s a big, power back. If you’re looking for that, he’s the guy.”
• Bishop Sankey, Washington, 5-9, 209, 4.49
“Ran faster than you thought he would (at the Combine),” the AFC executive said. “He’s tough. He can break a tackle or two. And he can run away from you, too.”
