My impressions from day 2 at Mobil Alabama.
DT John Jenkins Georgia. Jenkins projects to play the nose in a 3-4 defence at the next level mainly because of his size but he has skill as well. Jenkins has the ability to just physically over power people at this level but what impressed me as a future NFL player was his rip move.
OT Lane Johnson Oaklahoma. Johnson was easily the pick of the tackles in the south squad and probably should have got a mention yesterday. Johnson is a pretty polished and solid tackle what he did impress me with was his ability to finish of plays and totally kill any rush.
RB Stepfan Taylor Standford. Taylor can pass block and is happy doing so which is a massive positive for any running back entering the pass happy NFL. Taylor can do all three phases of the offensive pass, block and catch making him a 3 down running back a very attractive option.
RB Mike Gillislee Florida. Similar to Taylor, was impressive in all three phases and is a 3 down running back. Gillislee also had some nice runs today where he has the speed to get to the second level and make a man miss regularly picking up extra yards.
RB Kenjon Barner Oregon. Barner did a nice job in blitz protection and then made a really nice catch and run later on making him a three down running back as well. For a small back he also picks up a nice amount of yardage following contact.
CB Desmond Trufant Washington. In many of the drills he made sure his receiver could not make a catch mainly through blanket coverage. Through out the whole session Trufant showed sound coverage and the one time a receiver did get separation he showed good recover speed.
OT Eric Fisher Central Michigan. Fisher is the first player to appear twice on my daily reports because he has barely put a foot wrong and even entering the top end of the draft on day 1. Fisher handled some of the more speeder rushers well all day showing great strength and an ability to finish all blocks. He strength stood out where he was able to put some of the better pass rushers to the floor.
