At the earliest part of this draft cycle, the entire board was looking up at Nussmeier. But after a disappointing, injury-impacted senior season, he clearly has a lot of catching up to do.

Nussmeier, who sits 81st on the B/R NFL Draft Scouting Department's Big Board, saw his numbers crater this past season, but his draft stock was initially high for a reason. He was awesome as a junior (4,052 passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns) and has the processing skills and accuracy to be awesome again.

"He's healthy now, and I tell people this all the time: I can't unsee what I saw last year," Senior Bowl executive director Drew Fabianich said earlier this month. "If you see him do it once, you need to find out the whys of what happened. Well, (LSU) couldn't run the ball, they couldn't protect him, and he was hurt, right? I think he's going to come down here and really blow it up."

This quarterback class thins out in a hurry behind Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson. If Nussmeier engineers an electric week, he might wind up being the third-signal caller to hear his name called at the draft.

Allen, the B/R NFL Draft Scouting Department's fourth-ranked running back, is the kind of prospect who should thrive in this portion of the evaluation process.

Because while he isn't an elite athlete who will wow on the workout circuit, he's just a really good football player. He plays a bruising style and meets contact with physicality, but he's surprisingly nimble and tough to corral in open space. He might not be a true home-run hitter, but he has enough juice to rip off chunk gains.

Good things almost always happened when Penn State involved him over his four-year collegiate career. He wrapped it as the school's all-time career rushing leader, tallying 4,180 career rushing yards and 43 scores along the way (39 rushing, four receiving).

He should draw rave reviews this week and could put on a show come Saturday.
