John Avery, RB, Mississippi
Too small at 5'9� ", 184 pounds, the scouts say, but I heard that about Warrick Dunn last year. Avery is a blazer (4.37 at the NFL combine) with a terrific burst and great cutting ability. He reminds me of Dalton Hilliard, a second-round pick out of LSU in 1986, who ran for 4,164 yards during an eight-year career with the Saints.

Ron Rogers, MLB, Georgia Tech
The knocks are that he's too slow and too stiff. All he does is make tackles and stuff holes. Always around the ball. A player. Just wait.

John Wade, C, Marshall
An old-style run blocker with fine pop coming off the ball. Pass blocking? He can learn that.

Kailee Wong, DE, Stanford
Leaped off the charts at the combine, most notably running a 4.62.I don't get snowed by numbers, but he's a player, too, with terrific hustle.

Eric Ogbogu, DE, Maryland
A pumped-up 245-pounder, the scouts say, but can this guy rush the passer? He convinced me in the Hula Bowl, where he had four sacks, a couple of the scratching, clawing variety.

Wong and Ogbogu bounced around the league for awhile.

Ogbogu is doing okay for himself as he the Under Armour spokesman. He's the "We must protect this house" guy.

Avery was hyped at the time and drafted by Jimmie Johnson to be his next Emmitt Smith.

He ended up playing in the XFL.

It proves what everyone has always known:

Dr. Z is a dumb sonofabitch.

Well, it's certainly true now. I don't think he's even able to speak anymore.

Wong played 9 years, Ogbogu, 8 years.

And to be far, this is what the article says:

They aren't the top-rated players at their positions, but Dr. Z is intrigued by these five prospects.
