9/12/09 Good day to scout Safeties.

[mussop]

Three of the top Safety prospects will be on national tv today. If youre interested heres where.

UCLA at Tennessee 3:00 p.m. ESPN (HD)
Eric Berry, SS Tennessee (Jr.) Jersey #14
Eric Berry*, S, Tennessee - Scouting Report
Height: 6-0. Weight: 195.
Projected 40 Time: 4.36.
Projected Round (2010): Top 8 Pick.
3/13/09: One of the best safety prospects to come along in a very long time. Eric Berry, a first-team All-American, had 72 tackles, 8.5 TFL, six passes broken up, three sacks and a whopping seven interceptions (two for touchdowns) as a mere sophomore. Safeties seldom go in the top five, but Berry could be an exception.

8/6/08: If Eric Berry declares early, he'll most likely be the fastest safety at the combine. As a freshman, Berry started every game and was named SEC Defensive Freshman of the Year. He recorded 86 tackles and five interceptions

USC at Ohio State 7:00 p.m. ESPN (HD)
Taylor Mays, FS/SS, USC - Jersey #2
Height: 6-4. Weight: 225.
Projected 40 Time: 4.42.
Projected Round (2010): Top 10 Pick.
5/23/09: Raider fans, start buying your Taylor Mays jerseys right now.

12/14/08: With 49 tackles and eight tackles for loss, Taylor Mays was named a First-Team All-American. Mays' freakish athleticism makes him a likely top-10 candidate.

5/19/08: Taylor Mays' size and speed combination is sick, and what could ultimately allow him to be the first safety taken in April 2009.

2007: A 6-4, 225-pound safety who runs a 4.3? Pretty sick. As a freshman, Taylor Mays started 12 games, recorded 62 tackles and picked off three passes.


South Carolina at Georgia 6:00 p.m. ESPN2 (HD)
Reshad Jones*, FS/SS, Georgia Jersey #9
Height: 6-2. Weight: 207.
Projected 40 Time: 4.50.
Projected Round (2009): Top 20 Pick.
5/23/09: As a sophomore, Reshad Jones managed 76 tackles, five interceptions and three passes broken up.
