Vic Carucci of NFL.com released his list of the top ten prospects to watch at the combine this week. His stunning insight and hours of research have brought us a list of players that have much to gain from good workouts this weekend, as for many of these players (ie. Adrian Peterson, Jamarcus Russell, and Calvin Johnson), a split second in the 40 could mean the difference between going in the first round or being a fifth rounder. Carucci's list clearly illustrates the differences between professional sports writers and amateur draft bloggers. Carucci, using his years of contacts within the NFL, was able to bring forth a list of prospects that I would wager most college football fans have never even heard of, but have a distinct chance at getting drafted high with a good showing at the Combine. Kudos to Carucci for giving me a few players to pay attention to during the 63 hours of consecutive NFL Network coverage.
