2012 NFL SCOUTING COMBINE PREVIEW
Each year around 330 prospects are invited to the annual event and there are always 20-25 small school prospects in that group. We have decided to take a look at those we expect to test well, those who have to answer questions, and even those we believe would be better replacements for some invited to the event.

TEST FREAKS
Here is a look at those who we believe will light up the NFL Scouting Combine.
DC/SAF Justin Bethel, Presbyterian College
Bethel only ran a 4.57 40-yard dash in the spring but at 5’11, 196 pounds he could jump in the 40-42 range in the vertical and his tape shows better than 4.5 speed. We think he runs in the 4.4s and tests very well all around to improve his stock.
DC DeAndre Presley, Appalachian State
While he stands at just 5’10, 177 pounds you can expect him to test off the charts. His short shuttle, 3-cone, 10-yard, 40-yard dash, and vertical should all look good compared to others. He is a fluid and explosive athlete who could run in the 4.3s and really open eyes. Plus he could throw, catch passes, carry the ball out of the backfield, returns punts and kicks, and even line up at corner. With versatility and speed like his it is tough to imagine he won’t get drafted.
