Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
That is why Griffin is one of the biggest risers leading up to the 2012 NFL draft.
3. Ronnell Lewis, LB, Oklahoma
Ronnell Lewis has been impressing all season, but he actually grows on you the more you watch him.
Against Texas A&M, Lewis had eight tackles and his first interception of the season. He's constantly swarming to the ball, much in the same way as Ryan Kerrigan did at Purdue, and he projects very well as a 3-4 outside linebacker in the NFL.
This guy looks like he's going to be the real deal.
2. Zach Brown, LB, North Carolina
North Carolina has been known to produce a wealth of pass rushers, but Zach Brown is impressing because he's a very complete player, with the ability to rush in for run support and drop back quickly and bat down passes thrown his way.
He's an ideal fit as a 4-3 outside linebacker in the NFL, and he has 71 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two interceptions in 10 games for the Tar Heels.
1. Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
Robert Griffin III continues to show that he's far from just an athletic dual-threat.
In fact, Griffin may be a better pocket passer than a rusher.
For the season, Griffin not only has 386 rushing yards and four touchdowns, his accuracy has been phenomenal and his four interceptions detail his decision-making.
On top of that, Griffin appears immune to pressure, constantly stepping up in key situations and delivering the ball downfield with precision.
Griffin is all of a sudden looking like a top-10 pick in the NFL draft and he continues to impress each and every week.
