Jeremy Sprinkle, TE, Arkansas: Sprinkle looked like one of the best tight ends in the country against Florida on Saturday afternoon. The 6-foot-6, 256-pounder presents difficulties for linebackers and safeties with his large frame. Sprinkle has catcher's mitts for hands to bring in difficult catches while on the run. While he didn't look especially fluid in an H-back role, Sprinkle displayed a willingness to block on the edge. Technique work on moving his feet after contact should be enough to make him serviceable there at the next level. Sprinkle reminds me of former Packers first-round pick Bubba Franks. Franks was overdrafted by Green Bay, but he still had a very good run as a two-way tight end.
Bradley Chubb, DE, North Carolina State: The Wolfpack fell to Florida State on Saturday, but Chubb once again showed scouts his potential. The junior has added 20 pounds since last season, when he was a linebacker, to become one of the better defensive ends in the country. The 6-4, 275-pound Chubb ranks 12th in the nation with 13 tackles for loss (he had 1.5 vs. FSU), and already has six sacks. Whether coming out of a three- or four-point stance, his ability to power off the ball makes it difficult for tackles to maintain their anchor. Chubb still looks like a linebacker when chasing from the backside, as well, which is impressive. The sky's the limit for Chubb.
