Summary This Heisman Trophy winner is arguably the best athlete and pure player in this draft, although he will probably not be picked until #3 or #4. He can play WR, DC, and he is an explosive return specialist.. He should be a special player in the NFL as he will probably have double duty as a DC and RS. He has a great competitive nature, all the physical tools necessary to be a DC, and he is one of the best “big game” players to come along in several years.. He is better than the #3 pick of last year's draft Shawn Springs, and he should be a Pro-Bowl type player for many years.
