Paul Richardson*, WR, Colorado Height: 6-1. Weight: 170. Projected 40 Time: 4.55. Projected Round (2014): 2-3. 12/21/13: Richardson started his collegiate career strongly as a freshman and sophomore. In 2010, he hauled in 34 passes for 514 yards and six touchdowns. Richardson made 39 receptions for 555 yards and five scores in 2011. He lost last year to a torn ACL that occurred in the final week of spring practice. Richardson came back in impressive fashion to start the 2013 season. He was the most productive receiver in the nation in Week 1 with 10 receptions for 208 yards and two touchdowns against Colorado State. Richardson maintained his strong play with 83 receptions for 1,343 yards and 10 touchdowns this year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezRBYbkChgQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8SKKj1OCZk

So when Cam did it constently he was good to go. Rice would touch the ball aboput 7 times and Harbs was fine with that being Cams' call.

Jared Abbrederis*, WR, Wisconsin Height: 6-2. Weight: 188. Projected 40 Time: 4.41. Projected Round (2013): 2-3. 12/21/13: Abbrederis has been excellent in 2013. He has produced despite spotty quarterback play and the Badgers' inclination to run the ball. There was a lot of plays where Abbrederis was wide open for long touchdowns, but passes weren't delivered. In 2013, Abbrederis has 73 catches for 1,051 yards with seven touchdowns. He torched Bradley Roby and Ohio State for 10 receptions, 207 yards and a touchdown. 8/3/13: Abbrederis suffered a mild concussion against Oregon State early last season, and Wisconsin really missed him when he was out. Despite terrible quarterback play, Abbrederis totaled 49 receptions for 837 yards and five touchdowns. He has consistently produced big plays for the Badgers the past two years. In 2011 even though Abbrederis had less receptions than No. 1 receiver Nick Toon, Abbrederis topped Toon in yardage. Abbrederis caught 55 passes for 933 yards and eight touchdowns. The sophomore exploited a lot of soft coverage and produced some big plays for quarterback Russell Wilson. Abbrederis also returned punts and averaged 16 yards per return. The Badgers lost a lot on offense following 2011, so Abbrederis saw more attention from defenses, but also more offensive opportunities. He had a modest freshman season with 20 catches for 289 yards and three scores. Abbrederis has good size with deceptive quickness. Personal: Abbrederis is a scholar athlete majoring in human ecology. He is the son of Scott and Lisa Abbrederis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E86Cq7l0gbo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVe1rjtjQJQ

Jarvis Landry*, WR, LSU Height: 6-1. Weight: 195. Projected 40 Time: 4.53. Projected Round (2014): 2-3. 12/21/13: Landry has impressed in 2013. The junior has caught 75 passes for 1,172 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2013. Landry had excellent games against Georgia and TCU. He is a tough receiver with good hands. 8/3/13: Landry flashed for LSU in 2012 and did a nice job of moving the chains in the team's run-heavy offense. He caught 56 passes for 573 yards and five touchdowns. Landry should produce more as a junior with quarterback Zach Mettenberger returning. Personal: Majoring in sports administration. Son of Dietra Landry and related to Glenn Dorsey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9pAwlKep6U Brandon Coleman*, WR, Rutgers Height: 6-6. Weight: 220. Projected 40 Time: 4.59. Projected Round (2013): 2-3. 12/21/13: The biggest question about Coleman is if he has enough speed for the NFL. The senior started out this season with nine receptions for 94 yards and two touchdowns against Fresno State. Coleman has been quiet since then, and many believe a preseason knee injury has slowed him down. He has 31 receptions for 459 yards with three touchdown receptions in 2013. Coleman decided to enter the 2014 NFL Draft, but he should have returned to Rutgers. 8/3/13: Coleman is a massive receiver who looks like a tight end. He has been very consistent for Rutgers and has produced while playing in a running offense. Coleman led Rutgers with 43 receptions for 718 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2012. He led Rutgers with 663 receiving yards on 39 receptions with 10 touchdowns the year before, too. The biggest question about Coleman will be if he has enough speed to be a high draft pick. Personal: Labor studies major. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5TRgqXdqa0

Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt Height: 6-3. Weight: 205. Projected 40 Time: 4.60. Projected Round (2012): 2-3. 12/21/13: Matthews has 107 receptions for 1,334 yards with five touchdowns this year. He had a clutch performance in a tight season opener against Ole Miss, snagging 10 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown. Matthews' score came from midfield as he took a quick swing pass the distance. The senior has looked very good with his route running and moving the chains in the intermediate part of the field. He needs to run well at the Combine to get first-round consideration. 8/3/13: Matthews was excellent for the Commodores in 2012. He contributed to Vanderbilt almost upsetting South Carolina in the season opener. Matthews showed nice quickness with a 78-yard touchdown. He totaled eight receptions for 148 yards against the Gamecocks. Matthews had 119 yards on eight receptions against Georgia. He also played well versus Florida with eight catches for 131 yards and a score. The junior finished the regular season strongly, going over 100 yards against Ole Miss, Tennessee and Missouri. Matthews recorded 94 receptions for 1,323 yards and eight touchdowns for the year. He totaled 41 receptions for 778 yards and five touchdowns in 2011. Matthews has been well coached. He is a good route-runner with excellent hands. Scouts have told WalterFootball.com that entering the season they view Matthews as a second-day prospect for the 2014 NFL Draft. They feel he lacks the speed and explosiveness to be a first-rounder. Personal: Son of Roderick and Brenda Matthews. Jordan Matthews does a lot of charity work. Matthews is the cousin of Jerry Rice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUcSt1JjuvE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYRCjAkaYYk

Odell Beckham, Jr.*, WR, LSU Height: 6-0. Weight: 187. Projected 40 Time: 4.40. Projected Round (2014): 2-3. 12/21/13: Beckham has the speed to stretch the field and has demonstrated the potential to make game-changing plays. He has caught 57 passes for 1,117 yards with eight touchdowns in 2013. Against UAB, the junior returned a missed field goal 100 yards for a touchdown, returned a punt 60 yards for a score and caught five passes for 136 yards and three touchdowns. He had six receptions for 204 yards and three scores against Furman. Beckham gave Alabama a lot of problems in their matchup. 8/3/13: Beckham has the speed to stretch the field and showed the potential to produce some big plays for the Tigers in 2012. The sophomore led LSU in receiving with 713 yards on 43 catches and two touchdowns. He averaged 9.1 yards per punt return. Beckham had a strong 2011 season for LSU. The true freshman caught 41 passes for 475 yards and two touchdowns. With Jarvis Landry on the other side, Beckham could produce a big junior season with Zach Mettenberger at quarterback. Personal: Majoring in human movement fitness. Son of Odell Beckham, Sr.; a running back for LSU in 1989-1992. His mother, Heather Van Norman, was a track star for LSU. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMnOzGS6KR4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cjvErKu35g

Allen Robinson*, WR, Penn State Height: 6-3. Weight: 204. Projected 40 Time: 4.59. Projected Round (2014): 2-3. 12/21/13: Robinson played really well for Penn State in 2013. He demonstrated nice speed and run-after-the-catch ability to go along with his size. The junior recorded 97 receptions for 1,432 yards and six touchdowns. Robinson has shown nice quickness to get separation and pick up extra yards. He turned in many prolific games, including contests against Ohio State (12-173), Illinois (11-165) and Indiana (12-173). Robinson could be on the bubble between the first and second day of the 2014 NFL Draft. How well he runs at the Combine and his pro day will have a big impact on his draft stock. Penn State head coach, the former Patriots offensive coordinator, Bill O'Brien has developed Robinson well for the NFL. 8/3/13: The 2012 season was a challenging year for Penn State and Robinson was one of the bright spots. He excelled in the Nittany Lions' new pro-style offense. Robinson hauled in 77 passes for 1,018 yards and 11 touchdowns after barely playing in 2011. He has good size and the only question is if he has enough speed for the NFL. Personal: Majoring in communications. Son of Allen and Tracie Robinson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xm3MFgJaD4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzCrpLd_uqc

Jaelen Strong**, WR, Arizona State Height: 6-4. Weight: 205. Projected 40 Time: 4.52. Projected Round (2013): 1-3. 12/21/13: Strong was an instant play-maker for Arizona State this season. The first-year starter has seven 100-yard games in 2013 with the highlight being a 12-reception, 168-yard performance against Stanford in Week 3. Strong was hobbled by injuries in the second half of the season, but he has continued to produce. Strong has 71 receptions for 1,094 yards with seven scores in 2013. He has speed to go with his excellent size. It would be in his best interest to return to school and improve before going pro. Personal: Because of academic reasons, Strong started out in junior college. He lost his father to leukemia at nine years old. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVAR-FeR7L4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WB6SdfqfWo

Kelvin Benjamin**, WR, Florida State Height: 6-5. Weight: 234. Projected 40 Time: 4.55. Projected Round (2014): 1-2. 12/21/13: Benjamin has been a big-time play-maker for the Seminoles this year. Even though other receivers have seen more targets, the redshirt sophomore has produced a lot of long receptions for Jameis Winston. Benjamin has hauled in 50 passes for 957 yards and 14 touchdowns. He is mismatch nightmare with a ton of upside. Benjamin has the speed to stretch a defense vertically as he torched Florida and cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy to the tune of 212 yards on nine catches and three scores. Benjamin was on fire late in the season as he dominated the competition. Benjamin is a mismatch nightmare with a ton of upside. He has to work on his hands as he drops too many passes. Benjamin saw his first playing time last season. He caught 30 passes for 495 yards with four touchdowns. Benjamin has some speed to go along with his size as he averaged 16.5 yards per catch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDk6CVfOkeQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4feKUNstdxI

Marqise Lee*, WR, USC Height: 6-0. Weight: 190. Projected 40 Time: 4.40. Projected Round (2014): 1-2. 12/21/13: Lee has had a disappointing junior season. Prior to a knee injury, the Trojans' quarterback play had been holding him back this year. Lee had a rough night against Arizona State. He caught seven passes for 92 yards, but also allowed a terrible dropped pass to be intercepted by the Sun Devils. Then in the fourth quarter, Lee injured his knee on a punt return. Lee missed a couple of games with his knee injury and the second half of the contest with Notre Dame. He also had a mildly disappointing outing in the season opener with a few drops and a muffed punt. Lee has just 50 receptions for 673 yards and two scores in 2013. He flashed his 2012 form against Oregon State (5-105-1). 8/3/13: Lee was one of the best players in college football in 2012. He was a Heisman finalist who carried USC's offense while other players had a down season. Lee was a consistent source of big plays with the speed to score on any reception. He put up astounding totals with 118 receptions for 1,721 yards and 14 touchdowns. Lee also returned kicks and averaged 28.5 yards per return, plus took one for a 100-yard touchdown in the season opener. Lee was a dominant freshman, too. He broke into the starting lineup for the Trojans in 2011 and was a superb weapon for quarterback Matt Barkley to exploit. Playing opposite Robert Woods, Lee had a massive debut hauling in 73 passes for 1,143 yards and 11 touchdowns. For the NFL, Lee looks like a potential No. 1 receiver. He is extremely fast and explosive. Lee also is a track star at USC. He projects as a receiver who will stretch a defense vertically and be a threat to score on any play. While Lee isn't the biggest or strongest, he plays bigger than his size and makes up for it with great route-running and hands. The 2013 season could be a challenging year for Lee as he is going to see double- and triple-teams while the Trojans break in a new starting quarterback. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWIL_futp44 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edhx41EyDUg

Mike Evans**, WR, Texas A&M Height: 6-5. Weight: 225. Projected 40 Time: 4.55. Projected Round (2014): Top-20 pick. 12/21/13: Evans had stretches of dominance during the 2013 season. He destroyed Alabama (7-279) and made a lot of difficult catches for big gains along the sideline. Evans turned in another massive performance against Auburn (11-287). For the year, the sophomore has 65 receptions for 1,322 yards with 12 touchdowns. He tailed off late in the year and was held to only eight yards on four catches by Missouri cornerback E.J. Gaines. For the NFL, Evans looks just like Vincent Jackson. Evans could be a downfield threat with his size and should also be a good possession receiver in the short to intermediate part of the field. With his size and leaping ability, he is always open. Evans has good hands and excellent body control. Just like Jackson, those attributes could overcome a lack of elite speed as a pro for Evans. 8/3/13: While redshirt freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel grabbed all the headlines last year, Evans had a breakout redshirt freshman season for the Aggies as well. He is a bit of a freak with speed to go along with massive size. Evans took over as Texas A&M's No. 1 receiver in 2012 even through the team had Ryan Swope as an established feature receiver. Evans led the team with 82 receptions for 1,105 yards and five touchdowns. He was consistently good for the Aggies week in and week out. Evans has phenomenal leaping ability and body control to make some highlight-reel catches. The sophomore looks poised for a massive season with Swope in the NFL and being firmly established as Manziel's No. 1 receiver. Personal: A sports management major, son of Heather Kilgore and Mike Evans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl2OfgKbEBs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE2dcmtpgAw

http://walterfootball.com/draft2014WR.php http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd6L5AZxE1s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VnOuwk59gw Sammy Watkins*, WR, Clemson Height: 6-1. Weight: 200. Projected 40 Time: 4.40. Projected Round (2014): Top-20 Pick. 12/21/13: Watkins has 85 receptions for 1,237 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2013. He played well to close out the regular season, including in his matchup against South Carolina. Watkins looks like a special receiver for the NFL. He has the explosive speed to stretch a defense vertically and is a threat to score on any reception. The junior also has improved his hands, route-running and concentration this year. Watkins dominated Maryland with 14 receptions for 163 yards. A week earlier, he caught eight passes for 68 yards and a touchdown against Florida State. Watkins played better than the numbers indicate. From the very beginning of the season, Watkins has looked like the 2011 version of himself, starting with the season opener against Georgia. He caught a 15-yard bullet from Tajh Boyd, then shed a tackle and exploded down the field. None of Georgia's defenders could catch Watkins as he sprinted for a 75-yard score. That has set the tone for Watkins this year. He also had huge games against Virginia and Georgia Tech. 8/3/13: 2012 was a disappointing year for Watkins. He had a drug arrest in May of that year that landed him a two-game suspension to start last season. The sophomore was unable to reestablish his place in the offense after his return as DeAndre Hopkins emerged as Clemson's No. 1 receiver. Watkins caught 57 passes for 708 yards and three touchdowns. On the other hand, Watkins had a fantastic freshman season. The speedster totaled 82 receptions for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also ran the ball 32 times for 231 yards. On special teams, the versatile receiver averaged 25 yards per kick return with one score. Watkins is a threat to score on any touch and has rare first-step quickness. He looks like a potential game-breaking receiver for the NFL. With Hopkins in the NFL, Watkins should be the No. 1 receiver again and has the luxury of a great college quarterback, Tajh Boyd. As long as Watkins stays healthy, he should produce a massive season. Some scouts have told WalterFootball.com that they prefer Watkins over Lee entering the season. If Watkins stays clean off the field, he still should be a first-round pick.

True. I don't know where he is projected for.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ_eIM9EV0I&feature=player_embedded He just declared. This kind of talent would really make the offense go.

Agreed. You will not be incharge in DC or Dal.

The kid from Elon could be just what you are talking about. He was IRed but I bet he learned a lot. Not get some practice going. Agreed on Marlon. I think he will kick ass next season. Agreed here. You need two TE's to mess up the coverages.

Yeah last I knew he was not playing D and catching the ball. Romo is almost like Peyton. Ryan has issues. Agreed Harbs will back his guys and send other packing as scapegoats.

I agree they are a mess. But after what happened here he might be trying to escape this mess.

http://www.livestrong.com/article/15527-long-average-career-nfl-player/ Overall Average According the the NFL Players Association, the average career of an NFL player is 3.3 years. The players left the NFL for a variety of reasons. These include injury, retirement and being cut by their team. Shortest Careers The shortest careers among NFL players tends to be those who hit and get hit the most during games and practice. Running backs have the shortest average careers of just 2.57 years. Except for the franchising this is what I have been saying for yrs. The position is just a dime a dozen plug and play situation. They are not worth investing big money into.

If they fire Marvin then they will be back at 4th place again.

Send him packing after next yr. It is a business and the players know and work to it.

Yep. They need maulers.

When he had the ball in his hand in the open field he had no movement. That is fro fast twitch going away.

The average length of a RB's career is about 2.5 yrs now.

Now it is 10-7 Cincy SD has the ball.
