QB
Chad Henne, Michigan still looking extremely athletic, plenty of zip on all of his passes. He had good timing, touch, and accuracy. Also threw well on the run and lost no accuracy. If you only look at his bowl game and this week, he? a second rounder and a top 5.
Andre Woodson, Kentucky aiming his passes more than just letting them fly, but almost all were on point. Looked good running the offense.
Colt Brennan, Hawaii Accuracy was all over the place sometimes on target, but he also threw a 10 yard out that was 4 yards off. 6th best QB at the game so far.
Joe Flacco, Delaware Did not sell his play action fake whatsoever. Good arm but spotty accuracy. Looks like a project with ideal frame and arm strength. Locks on to his initial target.
John David Booty, USC Good but not great, off the mark on the run. Average tools, but excellent decision making. Has a good head for the game.
Erik Ainge, Tennessee Several passes off the mark. Hurried through his progressions. Wasn? Captain Checkdown like Sam Keller in Houston, but might have earned Sergeant.
RB
Chris Johnson, East Carolina Showed good hands again, still does not stand out as a runner. Also hurt his left shoulder during practice, and will be replaced tomorrow.
Matt Forte, Tulane Did win one collision. Kept his knees high running through trash. Also broke through an arm tackle and got to the second level, but most of time was not patient. Got better at keeping his feet moving and keeping his shoulders down as the week went on.
Jacob Hester, L.S.U. Very powerful. Great at picking his steps through the line and getting through trash. Will fit in as FB and RB in the pros. Runs with a great lean and gets behind his blockers without running up them, setting up a move when a crease opens.
Justin Forsett, California Picked up where he left off on Tuesday. Must have made 7 or 8 people miss on one carry and took more than one to the house. Continues to show great hands as a receiver (the biggest hands in the game other than Gosder Cherilus). Hands down the RB this week.
Chauncey Washington, U.S.C. Showed improvement running between the tackles. Much more successful inside because he trusted his blockers and correctly timed hitting the hole by instincts instead of hesitating.
Tashard Choice, Georgia Tech Had one really nice outside run, his best run of the week, but otherwise competent, but not eye-opening performance today.
Rafael Little, Kentucky Getting small through the hole, and found a crease off tackle in the red zone drill squirting into the end zone.
Dantrell Savage, Oklahoma State Showed much improvement between the tackles, and really played his butt off. Wasn? getting stuffed like he was all week, and took what was there.
Peyton Hillis, Arkansas Looked like a tailback between the tackles, flashing through the hole.
Owen Schmitt, West Virginia Got banged up during the morning practice.
WR
Early Doucet, L.S.U. Got hurt during the afternoon practice.
Harry Douglas, Louisville sloppy route running, more sure-handed today. Never got great separation, so had no memorable plays.
Lavelle Hawkins, California WOW star of the day. Made three exhilarating plays that drew gasps from the crowd. Two deep catches with incredible ball tracking and hands, including one underthrown ball, and the sickest double move we?e seen in a long time on Terrell Thomas, turning him into a statue when he sold the hook and burst out of it into an easy touchdown. He also pumped his fist when the kids went nuts in the stands.
Donnie Avery, Houston More of the same good hands, good routes, good quicks. One insider said he deserved a first ro
