NFL Combine 2015: Full Schedule and Under-the-Radar Players to Watch

In the days leading up to the NFL Scouting Combine, all of the big names are making headlines. Whether it's Jameis Winston's weight, Marcus Mariota's pending decision on throwing or Amari Cooper's workout routine, there's always constant chatter surrounding the draft's supposed top picks.

That said, it's time we focus on a few of the event's under-the-radar players for a minute.

Each year, several previously unheralded players take the field at Lucas Oil Stadium and proceed to dazzle NFL scouts, executives and members of the media.

In 2014, Jerick McKinnon was a little-known quarterback from Georgia Southern. He worked out with the combine's running backs, finished as a top performer in each drill and went on to be selected in the third round by the Minnesota Vikings, playing in eight games last season.

Rest assured, there will be several more similar success stories following this year's event.

So, as we anxiously await more than 300 draft hopefuls to show their stuff in Indianapolis, let's overview the combine's full schedule and take a look at a few sleeper prospects to keep a keen eye on.

Under-the-Radar Prospects to Watch

Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami

If you like game-changing wide receivers who can take the top off a defense, look no further than Miami's Phillip Dorsett. He isn't the biggest target at 5'10" and 183 pounds, but his burst, acceleration and overall explosiveness could be considered elite.

Dorsett has the unique ability to hit his top gear quickly, burning man coverage vertically or creating quick separation on shorter routes. The wide receiver's 2014 stats indicate his speed and big-play ability, as he averaged an impressive 24.2 yards per catch, hauling in 36 receptions for 871 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Expect a blazing time from Dorsett in the 40-yard dash. According to NFL Media's Mike Mayock, the receiver may run the drill in less than 4.3 seconds, which would indicate he'll get very close to Chris Johnson's all-time mark of 4.24 seconds.

The praise for Dorsett's ability doesn't stop there, as an NFC scout had some kind words for the receiver during an interview with Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald: "He will be a good No. 2 receiver and could start as a slot guy now."

According to CBSSports.com, Dorsett is expected to be a second- or third-round pick. A good showing at the combine could lead to his name being called early on the draft's second day.

Bryan Bennett, QB, Southeast Louisiana

Bryan Bennett may be coming from an FCS school, but before he transferred to Southeast Louisiana, he served as Mariota's backup at Oregon—it's tough to fault him for leaving.

The quarterback made a significant impact with the Lions, throwing for 5,522 yards and 39 touchdowns while rushing for 1,715 yards and another 31 scores in two seasons. Although, he proved he can flourish at a higher level as well. Bennett did start one game for Oregon in 2011, completing 11 of his 20 passing attempts for 156 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 69 yards.

Bennett is a very talented athlete, but he'll need some time to develop as a quarterback. Mike Huguenin of NFL.com put it best: "He is a top-flight athlete who lacks a big arm and rarely has been under center."

Still, Bennett will be an intriguing late-round option for a team willing to develop a quarterback who boasts a unique skill set. At the combine, Bennett will need a strong all-around showing to solidify his draft status, but if he can run a respectable time in the 40-yard dash and show solid fundamentals during positional drills, expect a team to make him a third-day selection based on his potential.

Jalen Collins, CB, LSU

Projected mid-round cornerbacks have their work cut out for them to stand out in this year's incredibly deep draft class; however, if one is going to emerge from the pack at the combine, it's likely to be Jalen Collins.

The LSU product is extremely talented, boasting a great combination of length, athleticism, speed and agility. NFL scouts will love his size, as his 6'2", 198-pound frame makes him ideal for playing on the outside. His leaping ability allows him to win contested jump balls against larger receivers, but he also has the quickness and fluidity to change directions quickly and shadow smaller, faster receivers.

Collins' biggest downside is his lack of experience. With just 10 career starts, his raw talent allowed him to mask most of his technical flaws while at LSU. He'll need some time to develop, and the team that drafts him shouldn't expect a first-year contribution.

Although, Collins is a great physical specimen and does have plenty of promise. If he can put together a solid showing at the combine, there's no reason to think a team won't select him in the second round as a project and future starter.
