the previous season.

Elig — This player’s draft

to accurately grade player.
NIS — Not in school. (In
the case of Malaefou MacKenzie, he has reqeusted a sixth year of eligibility.)
OS — Player's listed speed
is from an older timing session. The player's current speed may have been
affected since that timing by an injury, weight gain, etc.
RB — Can also play running
back (applies to other position abbreviations too, such as S for safety,
H-b for H-back, ST for special-teamer, RS for return specialist, P for
punter, etc.).
X — Past or current injury
could have an impact on where this player is drafted, according to at least
one source. Due to the confidentiality of medical records, we cannot confirm
or deny whether the injury problem is still a concern.
XX — More serious injury
concern.
6017 — Example of player’s
height. First digit applies to feet; second and third to inches; fourth
to fractions of an inch in eighths. This example is 6-1 7/8. |

a potential franchise player.)
7.50 - 7.99 — Future All-Pro.
7.00 - 7.49 — Should become
a Pro Bowl-caliber player.
6.50 - 6.99 — Has a chance
to become a Pro Bowl-caliber player. In the case of quarterbacks, projects
as a high-first-round pick because of the need for quarterbacks.
6.00 - 6.49 — Should become
a quality NFL player with Pro Bowl potential.
5.50 - 5.99 — Has a chance
to become a quality NFL player.
5.10 - 5.49 — Has a better-than-average
