Leonard Floyd/OLB/Georgia: I’ve been a proponent of Floyd since his freshman campaign and believe he’s one of the most dominant defenders in the nation when hitting on all cylinders. We got a glimpse of that against South Carolina. Floyd was not only unstoppable up the field (1 tackle for loss, 1 sack and several pressures) but looked nasty in space making plays in coverage or hunting down ball carriers in pursuit. Floyd smartly followed the recommendations of scouts who told him to return to Georgia after a lackluster finish the 2014 season. I’m told family members are presently vetting agents in anticipation of his move into next April’s draft.
Desmond King/CB/Iowa: Naming King as a riser could seem like a contradiction considering the next player on this list but there’s no denying he came out on top when lined up across Tyler Boyd. Except for a few crossing patterns the junior did a terrific job shutting down Boyd and picked off two passes, including one in the end zone as Pittsburgh was driving to take the lead in the first quarter. King also made several nice plays up the field against screen passes and the running plays, totaling eight tackles for thegame. While I am concerned about his measurables there’s no doubting King has starting potential on Sunday’s in the proper system.
Tyler Boyd/WR/Pittsburgh: Boyd displayed why so many are high on his next level potential. Against a tough Iowa secondary he accounted for 10 of the 21 receptions Pittsburgh totaled and finished with 131-receiving yards. He caught passes down the flanks, across the middle and even a few receiver screens to make sure the ball got into his hands. Though I wonder about his true computer numbers there’s no doubt Boyd has the ability to impact at the next level.
Cody Core/WR/Mississippi: I could probably fill the risers list with a handful of Ole Miss players after their impressive victory over Alabama for a second straight season, but I’m going with Core. The senior, graded as a late round prospect by scouts, stands in the shadows of teammate LaQuon Treadwell but is very much a next level receiver. Core is faster than Treadwell and displayed speed on Saturday, averaging just under 31 yards on four receptions, one which went 73 yards for a score. He comes with big play ability, better than average size and in the end Core could surprise on draft day.
Andrew Adams/S/Connecticut: UConn performed much better than anyone imagined, holding Missouri’s explosive offense to just 9 points and 291-yards of total offense on the road. Adams exemplified their efficient, heady play on defense despite his team’s loss. Posting just 3 tackles for the afternoon, he was constantly around the action, making plays sideline to sideline in
