EMERALD BOWL - Boston College vs. USC

Here are the following players to keep your eye for the 2010 NFL Draft in the EMERALD BOWL.


Boston College:
C Matt Tennant – Tennant is one of the better all around centers in college football and has a chance to be the first center drafted in the 2010 NFL Draft and should be pick in the 2nd round.


LB Mike McLaughlin – McLaughlin has decent size and athleticism, and many expected him to play better this season and just didn’t right now is a free-agent type.


S Marty Bowman – Bowman has great size for a safety at 6-2 225, but just hasn’t made enough plays to look at him as anything more then a free-agent.


USC:


WR Damian Williams – Williams is a big athletic wide receiver who is a junior but all thoughts are that he will declare for the 2010 NFL Draft and should be a first round pick. USC has a number of high draft pick wide receivers not live up to the hype, but many think that Williams will be different.


OT Charles Brown – Brown is an athletic left tackle that NFL teams love and should be a late first round pick because of it.


OG Jeff Byers – Byers is a hard working offensive guard who is a good, but not great player and lack a little athleticism, but could be a late draft pick or a free-agent.


OG Alex Parsons – Parsons isn’t as good as Byers but still is a player that will get a chance to play in the NFL, but is more of a free-agent type.


DE Everson Griffen – Griffen is a junior that many people believe that he will declare early and could end up being a first round pick because he has the size and athleticism to be a great player at the next level.


CB Kevin Thomas – Thomas has good size at 6-1 190 pound but just has taken his physical and turned it into big time plays consistently. Could be a late round pick or free-agent.


S Taylor Mays – What else is there to say about Mays but he is just a great physical player that should light up the combine and could end up being a top 10 pick.


S Josh Pinkard – Pinkard is a good player in the secondary and has played both cornerback and safety but has had knee injuries which will be a question mark around draft time, but should hear his man called around the 5th round.
