What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about MUHAMMAD WILKERSON: Temple, 6041 315 4.96. Junior entry. Two-year starter who is athletic with good lateral quickness. Very productive and active over his career. Can play in a three or four man front, depending on what he is asked to do. Has the size, arm length, and thick posterior to hold his ground.

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.

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.

2011 Free Agent Inside linebackers......

The most important factor used to compile the free agent rankings is the
player’s ability and performance on the field. Next is the age and time factor,
especially players over the age of thirty. We then look at durability and injury
issues with the older veterans. Lastly, we evaluate the intangible areas (i.e.:
attitude, work ethic, and off-field troubles) as those red flags often follow a
player to his new team. Restricted free agents rarely move. The players are
ranked in order of their value. Keep in mind that maintenance of this list is
ongoing. Minor errors or omissions are possible. For example, when a player
signs during the season, his new contract’s expiration date is sometimes unclear.
It is likely that a few players are even now negotiating new or extended contracts
with their team.The following signings are as of March 14, 2011.
Codes:
F – Tagged by current team as a Franchise Player
T – Tendered by current team
S – Signed by current team
UFA – Unrestricted Free Agent
URF – Unsigned Restricted Free Agent
