Carlos Dunlap - His DUI causing him to miss the SEC Championship game will bring up a look of question marks that he will need to answer.

Junior Galette - Galette has a great week at the Texas vs. the Nation, but will have to answer question about off the field issues.

Thaddeus Gibson - From what I am hearing his is in great shape and could wow some people with his workout numbers.

Brandon Graham - Graham had a great Senior Bowl, but is short and people don't know if he will test well at the NFL Combine.

Greg Hardy - Hardy could help himself with some great workouts and show why many people had him as the number one defensive end coming into the season.
