Overview
Ball rushed for over 700 yards as a junior before being dismissed from the team for internal issues, forcing him to declare early. He started only five of nine games for Nevada and was an inconsistent player. He has good size for the position and could find himself working into a role on special teams, but he will likely go undrafted and have to compete for a position in camp.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Ball will have a long road to making an NFL team, as he simply hasn't done enough throughout college to warrant enough attention, and he doesn't possess the type of raw athletic ability that teams are willing to take a flier on. He is a situational player who will have to benefit from the right opportunity to make a team.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
