But we need a WR, not a TE. |
That subtle difference in spelling gets a lot of people...  |

You mean, like this subtle spelling difference:
Coach: "Get in there and Play Looser"
versus
Coach: "Get in there and Play Loser" |

Yeah I've heard of Purify too. Good prospect. By the way, I didn't mean this thread was ONLY for small players, just a figure of speech. Any player who is considered too small, too slow, from too small a college, was hurt their senior season, didn't do enough bench reps etc. will qualify for this thread.  |

I'm not trying to be a smart ass here, but you do realize that, based upon those criterium, this thread could include every prospect projected to go in the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds, and any prospect projected to be an undrafted free agent. That totals somewhere in the vicinity of 500 prospects. |

| There are plenty of late round picks who are big enough, plenty fast, plenty strong and have just never played great football. Someone will draft them for their measurables alone. However, the main point is, rather than simply reading mock drafts for the first few rounds, we actually report on those longshot players we really KNOW something about (from watching them in college or otherwise) and share that information here. It's a lot more interesting than simply regurgitating Kiper and McShay quotes every day. |

OK. I get you now. And, yes, Kiper and McShay make me want to regurgitate. That's another story.
Here's a good list of seventh round or undrafted prospects from small division 1 and division II schools. Videos added where I could find them.
WR Ramses Barden Cal Poly 5th 6'6", 228lbs, 4.63 40

CB Darren Banks West Liberty State 5th 5'11", 185lbs, 4.43 40
DE Dexter Manley II West Texas A&M 7th-PFA 6'2", 266lbs.
S Pierre Banks Appalachian State 7th 6'0", 210lbs.

TE Darius Hill, Ball State 7th-PFA 6'5", 235lbs, 4.64 40 |
