What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about BRYAN
THOMAS:
Alabama-Birmingham, 6044 265 4.48. A fairly tall 4-3 end with a muscular build
and good strength. Could project as a 3-4 outside linebacker. Productive player
— school career sack leader. Flexible athlete who comes off the ball quickly and
bends his knees nicely on contact. Explosive. Good with his hands but has some
trouble getting off blocks once opponents lock on. Can penetrate and change
directions sharply in the backfield. Not real instinctive. Has some hesitation
in his play, both in locating and in taking on blocks coming at him.
Exceptionally fast for a lineman but is an inconsistent pursuit competitor —
lets up some on plays away. Natural pass rusher with good moves. Changes speeds
well. Comes hard and low — has the body control to stay low and turn the corner.
Shows the power to come inside and drive with his legs. Quick footed in his
inside redirection — is sudden — closes with a great burst. Had a solid
postseason and a strong combine performance. Needs to play with more consistent
intensity but he is a gifted athlete with the tools to be an impact pro pass
rusher.

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about RODDY WHITE: Alabama-Birmingham, 6012 207 4.40. Three-year starter who won two wrestling letters in high school. Physical receiver and confident. Can get upfield quickly after catch despite being a long strider. Strong run after catch. Can break tackles. Makes the deep over-the-head and shoulder catch. Stretches a defense deep. Will layout for the ball. Will catch the ball over the middle. Gets behind the secondary on a regular basis. Good sized target who reaches up, extends, and snatches the ball. Needs to improve working back to his quarterback on scramble and other position skills. Has all the tools but is green in several of the little things. Perfunctory, wall off position blocker. Results and finish could be better. Reacts well in a crowd. Has courage and concentration to catch and hold ball on contact over middle. Will battle the defensive backs. Won’t turn down the ball. Produces inside. Catches the ball on the move. Will compete. Has the strength to fight the jam. Could improve getting back into the route and back on course quicker. Good body control and movement. Talks a lot of trash on the field and usually backs it up. Long limbed, talented receiver who can catch the ball. Pulled a hamstring in the Senior Bowl. Late first to early second round ability.
