This edition of the premium prospect board focuses on late bloomers. These are players who have a higher ceiling for development and will be producing at a higher level 3-4 years from now. Essentially, these prospects might not be as heralded as others but could become first-day selections in future NFL drafts.
Criteria for prospects are based on:
Prospects with projectable frame and overall measurables
Raw skill-set we feel will be molded with college coaching
Prospects with limited experience or those who will have to transition to a new position
Players who will adjust favorable to the college game or schemes
Top 10 late-bloomers
1. DE Terrell Hall
ESPN 300 Rank: 167
Undeclared
Breakdown: Physically, this prospect looks as good as any defensive end. Hall has bulked up considerably, while gaining valuable strength and explosiveness. He is still somewhat raw but he has put it all together this fall and should continue to maximize his talents in college. He plays like a quicker twitch version of Jackson Jeffcoat at this stage. Hall visited Alabama over the weekend, and the Crimson Tide are considered the favorite for the 6-foot-5, 250-pounder over Florida, Florida State, Tennessee, Maryland and others.
