NFL Draft 2001: Top Prospects
3/03/2001
| Quarterbacks | QB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | OG | OC | |||
| Michael Vick (So.) | ||||
| Virginia Tech | 6'0" | 210 lbs. | 4.4 | |
| Comp% | YDS | TD | INT | |
| 56.5% | 3074 | 20 | 11 | |
| Has a very strong arm and can make all the throws. Vick will be one of the top threats at QB with his ability to run in the open field. He has good pocket sense but must not always take off, he has to look for receivers. One concern that scouts have is his accuracy which can be improved. His other weakness is that he lacks field vision and does not see all of his receivers. | ||||
| Drew Brees | ||||
| Purdue | 6'0" | 220 lbs. | 4.8 | |
| Comp% | YDS | TD | INT | |
|
57.3% |
11,139 | 84 | 44 | |
| He has the most experience with reading and understanding defenses and the blitz. He has great accuracy and a quick release. Brees knows when to scramble and get out of the pocket but he is not a threat running the ball. Some scouts question his height and arm strength. He has improved his arm strength and if put into the right offense he will be a top QB in the league. | ||||
| Chris Weinke | ||||
| Florida St. | 6'4" | 230 lbs. | 5.0 | |
| Comp% | YDS | TD | INT | |
|
57.3% |
9839 | 79 | 32 | |
| He will be a 28 year old rookie which is a big risk for most teams. He has great size and arm strength to throw the deep balls but he lacks the accuracy in the deep game. He is a pure pocket passer who rarely runs. Weinke will have to be taken by a team that needs a QB now, he can not be a developmental player because of his age. | ||||
| Justin Coleman | ||||
| Kearney | 6'4" | 220 lbs. | 5.1 | |
| Comp% | YDS | TD | INT | |
| 59.5% | 11,213 | 99 | 42 | |
| Tim Hasselbeck | ||||
| Boston College | 6'1" | 205 lbs. | 4.8 | |
| Comp% | YDS | TD | INT | |
| 61% | 4043 | 30 | 18 | |
| Jesse Palmer | ||||
| Florida | 6'2" | 225 lbs. | 4.9 | |
| Comp% | YDS | TD | INT | |
| 53% | 3755 | 31 | 17 | |
| Josh Heupel | ||||
| Oklahoma | 6'2" | 215 lbs. | 5.0 | |
| Comp% | YDS | TD | INT | |
| 59.3% | 9389 | 91 | 40 | |
| He is a very accurate passer who has great vision and a quick release. He does not throw the ball very hard which is a concern. Heupel will be a good backup QB at the next level. | ||||
| Marques Tuiasosopo | ||||
| Washington | 6'1" | 215 lbs. | 4.8 | |
| Comp% | YDS | TD | INT | |
| 55% | 5501 | 31 | 28 | |
| He is a great competitor who will do anything to get the job done. He has good mobility an can avoid the rush but he is not a pocket passer. He tries to force the ball into coverage at times. He will make a good backup QB with his competitive spirit. | ||||
| Quincy Carter (Jr.) | ||||
| Georgia | 6'2" | 220 lbs. | 4.7 | |
| Comp% | YDS | TD | INT | |
| 56% | 6447 | 35 | 25 | |
| Took a step back in development this year and would have been better off staying in college for his last year. He is a very athletic QB, who likes to run. He buys himself time but then tries to force too many balls. He has the tools to be a good QB but they have to be developed, which will take some time. | ||||
| Ben Leard | ||||
| Auburn | 6'3" | 220 lbs. | 5.0 | |
| Comp% | YDS | TD | INT | |
|
57.3% |
4131 | 28 | 17 | |
| Running Backs | QB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | OG | OC | |||
| Deuce McAllister | ||||
| Mississippi | 6'0" | 215 lbs. | 4.4 | |
| Yds/Carry | Rush Yds | Ru. TD | Rec. Yds | Rec. TD |
| 4.9 | 3060 | 37 | 616 | 2 |
| Deuce has a great combination of size, speed and power to excel at the NFL level along with good hands out of the backfield, which most teams are looking for nowadays. He also is the most athletic running back of this year's group. Has a history of long nagging injuries, which could bring some questions up about his durability. A potential star in this league. | ||||
| Micheal Bennett (Jr.) | ||||
| Wisconsin | 5'10" | 205 lbs. | 4.3 | |
| Yds/Carry | Rush | Ru. TD | Rec. Yds | Rec. TD |
| 5.3 | 1979 | 15 | 23 | 0 |
| Bennett may have the most talent of all the running backs entering the draft. Had an incident with the law that might lower his draft position. Has phenomenal speed and he hits the hole very hard which allows him to be a good inside runner, but that is not where his greatest strength is. He is a great outside runner with the speed to get to the corner and win the race down the field every time. He also has good hands but will have to learn to catch the ball, not let the ball hit him first. One question that comes to scouts minds is, “Is he ready after only two seasons of playing?” You be the judge on that one. | ||||
| Lamont Jordan | ||||
| Maryland | 5'10" | 220 lbs. | 4.6 | |
| Yds/Carry | Rush | Ru. TD | Rec. Yds | Rec. TD |
| 5.0 | 4143 | 36 | 737 | 1 |
| Jordan is almost a mirror image of the Falcons, Jamal Anderson. He has a powerful, low to the ground running game with very strong legs and a low center of gravity. He has the quickness and vision to change directions and hit the hole. He will have to develop more patience; he tends to hit the hole before it opens up. Jordan breaks a lot of tackles with his lower body strength and will be a great inside runner at the next level. He has the ability to get to the outside but he will not be able to beat the speed of the defensive backs and out run them. Jordan also has the pass catching skills most NFL teams look for in a feature back, which makes him one of the most rounded running backs in the draft. | ||||
| LaDanian Tomlinson | ||||
| TCU | 5'10" | 220 lbs. | 4.5 | |
| Yds/Carry | Rush | Ru. TD | Rec. Yds | Rec. TD |
| 5.4 | 5387 | 56 | 265 | 0 |
| It's difficult to judge his true talent since he comes from an option offense. He has the perfect running technique and a good center of gravity, which brings to mind a similar type runner, Emmit Smith. Tomlinson has not had to run between the tackles that much since he ran the option in college so he has not taken the beating normal backs receive, so this could be a question. He excels in the outside running game and this is his advantage over the other running backs in the draft. Proved he could catch the ball at the All-star game. Tomlinson could either be the best running back to come out of the draft or just another bust, only time will tell. | ||||
| Anthony Thomas | ||||
| Michigan | 6'2" | 225 lbs. | 4.6 | |
| Yds/Carry | Rush | Ru. TD | Rec. Yds | Rec. TD |
| 4.8 | 4138 | 50 | 752 | 1 |
| Thomas is a question mark for scouts because he has the ability to play running back or fullback in the NFL. The team that selects Thomas will play a major role in what position he will play, if not both. He is a physical type back who has good size to break a lot of tackles. He also has very good hands that will allow him to catch the ball and use his power to gain yards. Thomas is comparable to the Jets, Richie Anderson and the Chiefs, Tony Richardson. Thomas’ weakness is that he cannot run to the outside because of his lack of speed and he will not make many defenders miss although he ran an impressive 40 at the combine. | ||||
| Travis Henry | ||||
| Tennessee | 5'10" | 225 lbs. | 4.5 | |
| Yds/Carry | Rush | Ru. TD | Rec. Yds | Rec. TD |
| 5.6 | 3109 | 27 | 99 | 0 |
| Travis is a power runner who needs to learn to picks his knees up more. He is a bullish type of back that breaks a lot of tackles and will move the pile. Travis has good vision and should be a strong inside runner. He also has good speed and quickness to get to the outside and he rarely gets caught from behind. He will have to improve his blocking and pass catching skills to be a dominant back in the NFL. | ||||
| Kevan Barlow | ||||
| Pittsburg | 6'1" | 235 lbs. | 4.6 | |
| Yds/Carry | Rush | Ru. TD | Rec. Yds | Rec. TD |
| 4.6 | 2324 | 20 | 508 | 4 |
| Barlow is not an exceptional inside runner but he is a big, strong, shifty runner with great lower body strength and a real threat when getting outside. He does not have the patience for the holes to develop in the line so he wastes his time dancing around in the backfield. He has shown some improvement in his senior season along with displaying soft hands at the All-star game. | ||||
| James Jackson | ||||
| Miami | 5'10" | 205 lbs. | 4.4 | |
| Yds/Carry | Rush | Ru. TD | Rec. Yds | Rec. TD |
| 5.9 | 3035 | 32 | 271 | 3 |
| Jackson is a runner who runs low to the ground and picks up all the extra yardage he can with his power. He has a good burst to the hole with his speed and is a good cutback runner with quick feet. Jackson does not fear being hit; he is a guy who loves contact. He also has a good feel for the passing game. Jackson will need to add some bulk at the next level because he tends to wear himself down late in games. He also needs to be more patient and wait for blocks to develop in front of him. | ||||
| Travis Minor | ||||
| Florida St. | 5'10" | 195 lbs. | 4.4 | |
| Yds/Carry | Rush | Ru. TD | Rec. Yds | Rec. TD |
| 4.9 | 3257 | 28 | 850 | 3 |
| Minor draws a lot of comparisons from former FSU running back, Warrick Dunn. Travis has great speed and is very dangerous in the open field. He has great hands that will help him get the ball out of the backfield. Minor has great instincts and vision that allows him to cutback at anytime. The main question with Minor is that he, like Dunn, is not an every down back because of their size. Scouts do not know how durable Minor will be. | ||||
| Rudi Johnson (Jr.) | ||||
| Auburn | 5'10" | 230 lbs. | 4.6 | |
| Yds/Carry | Rush | Ru. TD | Rec. Yds | Rec. TD |
| 6.1 | 3791 | 46 | 70 | 0 |
| Rudi is a bruising runner between the tackles who some scouts say is compared to last years Hiesman Trophy winner Ron Dayne. The difference is that Johnson is faster and quicker than Dayne. He has great size and is very durable which helps him gain the extra yards. He breaks most arm tackles and does not go down on first contact. His weakness like Dayne is that he is slow getting to the hole and choosing which one to take. Johnson is also a North and South type runner; teams know he is not an outside runner. | ||||
| Full Backs | QB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | OG | OC | |||

| David Terrell (Jr.) | ||||
| Michigan | 6'3" | 215 lbs. | 4.4 | |
| Yds/Catch | Yds | Rec. TD | ||
| 13.7 | 2181 | 22 | ||
| Terrell is probably the best athlete in the entire draft. He is sure to be a top five pick. He has everything that a team is looking for in a wide receiver, size, speed and the ability to make plays. Terrell has great hands he makes all of the ordinary catches and makes most of the spectacular ones as well. He runs good routes but has room for improvement as does everyone. He has good speed to run away from defenders after he catches the ball, which will pose a deep threat for other teams. He should be n the starting lineup from day 1. | ||||
| Koren Robinson (So.) | ||||
| N.C. State | 6'2" | 205 lbs. | 4.4 | |
| Yds/Catch | Yds | Rec. TD | ||
| 17.5 | 1914 | 15 | ||
| The biggest question about Robinson is should he have stayed for his last 2 years of college or is he ready now? Other than that, he is also the complete package that teams look for in receivers. He is a very fast receiver that gets into his routes fast and breaks sharply from them. He has good height and can win the jump balls. He will have to work on his blocking skills though if he wants to be a top receiver in the NFL. | ||||
| Chad Johnson | ||||
| Oregon St. | 6'2" | 185 lbs. | 4.4 | |
| Yds/Catch | Yds | Rec. TD | ||
| 21.6 | 713 | 6 | ||
| Johnson is one player who is seeing his stock rise in the draft faster than anyone else. His performance at the Senior Bowl answered a lot of questions for scouts. Johnson has a winning attitude that everyone is looking for. He also has the size, speed, and strength to be a top receiver in the NFL. He has very good hands and is very impressive off of the line. He does not get jammed at the line. Johnson also runs very good routes and can make the defenders turn around. Should be a great benefit for the team that picks him. | ||||
| Santana Moss | ||||
| Miami | 5'10" | 175 lbs. | 4.3 | |
| Yds/Catch | Yds | Rec. TD | ||
| 18.1 | 2565 | 19 | ||
| Moss would probably be the number 1 or 2 receiver if he was a few inches taller but he lacks in height he makes up for in the rest of his game. He is very athletic receiver who has tremendous speed and will catch almost anything that comes near him. He is a playmaker who has the ability to score a touchdown every time he touches the ball. Since he is small for a top receiver he will be drafted lower than he should be. Moss will have to be drafted by a team that uses a system that can utilize him in their offense. | ||||
| Quincy Morgan | ||||
| Kansas St. | 6'1" | 205 lbs. | 4.5 | |
| Yds/Catch | Yds | Rec. TD | ||
| 19 | 3220 | 30 | ||
| Morgan has good hands but will drop passes due to lack of concentration. One of the positives about Morgan is that he is very coachable and can learn quickly. He will have to improve his route running and blocking skills to be a top threat in the league. He has great size and good speed to become one of the top receivers to come out of the draft if he polishes up his game. | ||||
| Freddie Mitchell (Jr.) | ||||
| UCLA | 6'1" | 185 lbs. | 4.4 | |
| Yds/Catch | Yds | Rec. TD | ||
| 20.1 | 2135 | 10 | ||
| Mitchell is very similar to last year’s top receiver Peter Warrick, in the fact that he has good speed and catches almost any ball that even comes near him. He runs precise routes and has the ability to get open but will get pushed off of the ball due to his size. This is also another area where Mitchell, and Warrick are similar, their lack of size. Mitchell is a threat in the open field but you have to find ways to get him the ball. Mitchell will provide teams with another go to guy as a receiver if they have one to complement him on the other side. He will be an excellent outside receiver but not a slot receiver. | ||||
| Chris Chambers | ||||
| Wisconsin | 6'0" | 205 lbs. | 4.4 | |
| Yds/Catch | Yds | Rec. TD | ||
| 14.9 | 1939 | 15 | ||
| Chambers has a build and speed that most running backs are looking for. He does not have that great of hands but is a tremendous playmaker in the open field. Since he went to a run oriented school, you cannot really judge him as well as you would want to but because of his speed and size you cannot pass on him. | ||||
| Rod Gardner | ||||
| Clemson | 6'2" | 215 lbs. | 4.6 | |
| Yds/Catch | Yds | Rec. TD | ||
| 13.9 | 2270 | 12 | ||
| Gardner might be the top possession receiver in the draft. He has all of the physical tools to fight off defenders and position himself for the catch. He has good hands and ok speed. He fights defenders off of the line and gains possession early. Gardner will never be a deep threat but teams also need possession receivers who can get the tuff yardage they need. Blocking is an area that Gardner will have to work on at the next level. | ||||
| Ken-Yon Rambo | ||||
| Ohio St. | 6'0" | 190 lbs. | 4.4 | |
| Yds/Catch | Yds | Rec. TD | ||
| 17.7 | 1784 | 9 | ||
| Rambo’s biggest problem is that he drops too many catch able balls that come his way. He will make the circus catch and many routine throws, but he seems to lose concentration every now and then. Ken-Yon can be as good as he wants to, he has all of the physical tools necessary to become a top receiver in the league but he must want to get there himself. He has the speed to be a deep threat. | ||||
| Reggie Wayne | ||||
| Miami | 6'1" | 195 lbs. | 4.5 | |
| Yds/Catch | Yds | Rec. TD | ||
| 14.5 | 2554 | 21 | ||
| Wayne is a possession receiver who is very sure handed and very consistent. He does not have good speed so he will not be a downfield guy but he will be a short to intermediate receiver. Wayne will be a great number 3 receiver and even a number 2 receiver if put into the right offense. He will have to work on his release from the line and blocking if he wants to be successful. | ||||
