Risers

Rashad Greene/WR/Florida State: Things have not come all that easy for the Seminoles this season yet a real buzz is building around receiver Rashad Greene in scouting circles. The senior is on pace for a career season, accumulating 44 receptions, 683 yards (15.1 yard average) and 3 scores midway through the campaign. His quickness, ability to get open and playing smarts have been impressive as has Greene’s dependability. He’s not going to put up eye popping numbers at the combine yet many scouts feel Greene is a legitimate top 65 selection.

Leonard Floyd/DE-OLB/Georgia: Floyd was someone I spoke of in glowing terms prior to the season and he’s met expectations placed on him. During the Bulldogs blowout victory over Missouri this weekend Floyd was a disruptive force posting 1 sack, 1 tackle for loss and was credited with 4 quarterback hurries. The sophomore is a tremendous pass rusher with the athleticism and mobility to bend off the edge then alter his angle to chase down quarterbacks or ball handlers. While I plan to get into more detail on underclassmen later this week, the word from Athens is Floyd, a true sophomore who spent a year in prep school, is likely to enter the draft.

Grady Jarrett/DL/Clemson: Jarrett has quietly been rising up draft boards and scouts are positive about his next level ability. The senior leads all Clemson defensive linemen in tackles this season, most recently posting 5 tackles with 1 for loss and a fumble recovery during the victory over Louisville. Slightly undersized at 6-feet/.5-inches and 280-pounds, his athleticism and movement skills have scouts believing Jarrett will be the perfect three-technique tackle on Sunday’s.

Henry Anderson/DT/Stanford: More and more the name of Henry Anderson continues to pop up in conversations with scouts when speaking of prospects on the rise. Entering the season with late round grades, Anderson has rebounded well from an injury plagued 2013 campaign, playing smart, tough football this season. Scouts feel, and justifiably so, Anderson will be a solid middle round pick who’ll go onto to have a long career in the NFL as either a two-gap end or defensive tackle.
