HBCU NFL Hopefuls looking for their shot

MIDDLE ROUND PICKS (3 thru 5)
  • TAVARIS JACKSON: Productive Alabama State QB has size (6-2, 225) and arm strength (55 mph at Combine, 3rd best) to rate high on many draft boards, possibly just inside or outside the top ten QBs. Opened eyes at the Combine and with a good showing at the Shrine Bowl. Thought to have a tremendous upside.
    Projected Pick: Fourth or fifth round

  • ANTOINE BETHEA: Howard safety has athletic and hitting ability, size (5-11, 203) and speed (4.42), coveted for safeties. Played in the kind of Cover 2 system at Howard now in vogue in the league. Not considered to be as hot a prospect as former Howard DB Ron Bartell, who went in the second round of last year's draft.
    Projected Pick: Fifth round
