THE SLEEPER FILE
PROSPECTS TO WATCH FOR THE 2010 DRAFT
11. WR/PR Tim Toone, Weber State; 5-9, 175, 4.42 ... For the most part when looking for sleeper WRs we've focused on the search for the next Marques Colston, however, today we're looking for the next Wes Welker and may have found a clone at Weber State in WR Tim Toone who isn't all that big at just 5-9, 175, but he runs track for the school and has been timed in the 4.4 range for the 40. Toone is also very quick, runs precise routes and has excellent hands. Indeed, he caught 167 passes in the 2008-2009 seasons during which he averaged ove 15 yards per catch and scored 17 times as he showed the ability both to get deep as well as find the soft spots undereath as a third down possession receiver. For good measure Toone also emerged as a dangerous punt breturner last fall when he averaged almost 20 yards per return and returned 2 kicks for scores before teams started to punt away from him. Lack of prototype size will obviously be an issue for Toone along with the fact that he competed against lower level competition. Toone is also a little older than the average prospect as he did a two-year LDS mission and turned 25 this winter.
