PLAYER ANALYSIS
Came into UCLA as a heralded five-star recruit and is leaving school after three seasons with just eight starts including none this past season. McCarthy has size that will plant him on some draft boards, but he lacks skill as a pass rusher and hasn't proved that he can venture from a phone booth to make plays. McCarthy's knees will need to be checked closely, but the bigger concern could be his weight problems and whether or not he has the desire to do what it takes to be a player in the league.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Edwards has the size to be an NFL back and he was a consistent producer within his conference, but his marginal play speed and tendency to drift towards the line of scrimmage could cause him to get captured more quickly than desired for a starting running back. He has the traits to be a backup, but must show special teams ability and improved pass protection.

Fowler plays a dying position and doesn't offer elite blocking downhill or on the move. His ability to catch the ball and be a core special-teams player makes him a viable contender for a roster spot, even though it might be as an undrafted free agent.

The production is impressive. It warrants attention and accolades, but the tape shows an alarming inconsistency of effort and competitive fire. Pruitt won't be considered a plus athlete for the position by NFL standards, so he must crank up the motor and keep it running -- especially when asked to block since that might be his way onto a team.

Undersized runner with a big back's fearlessness. Hart is a gritty, determined player who fought his way back from two injuries to the same knee and a lack of playing time at Alabama before transferring. He was highly productive in his one year at Colorado State, but could have a hard time making a roster due to his lack of size and pro-caliber quickness.

Washington's lower body could use more bulk, but as a 3-4 OLB, he has enough play strength. He's technically proficient against the run on the edge and should continue to improve as a pass rusher with more work in that area during camps. Washington lacks dynamic qualities against the run or pass, but should be able to get into a camp.

Old-school blocking back who will have a hit or two each game that wows the crowd and gets his teammates fired up. He often charges in head-first and with a lowered head, so his success rate can vary greatly from game to game. Lack of pass-catching background hurts his chances.

Big back who doesn't usually run like it and rarely imposes his will on second-level tacklers. Content to do just enough to get by, according to key evaluators in the league, and his loss of playing time was about effort and work ethic, which isn't going to sit well with NFL teams. Brown's size gives him a shot, but he doesn't have the creativity as a runner to make it if power isn't his calling card in the NFL.
