    By this I mean role players who do not have traditional size and/or speed for their position but can produce as a full time player but can play a valuable role. Note that I am talking about possibly taking these guys in the later rounds.

    People like Darren Sproles and Karl Klug.

    Some people to consider:

    RB Tarik Cohen -- NC A&T (h/t @titantrusince82 ) 5.6", 180 lbs, 4.42 40: Big issue with him will be that he has no experience as a returner. Typically with a small RB you also want them to be able to return kicks and punts.

    WR Ryan Switzer -- UNC 5'9", 180 lbs: People might think he could be the next great white slot receiver. I am not a big fan but I know others are.

    DT Stevie Tu'kolovatu -- USC (Via Utah) 6'1", 350 lbs: Over aged player who will be 26 by season start. I still like him though, is aggressive and has good hand work. Could be a good run down NT.

    CB/PR William Likely -- Maryland (h/t @JCBRAVE ) 5'7", 175: I really like this one! He is worth a late pick as a punt returner alone. He is also good in coverage despite his size. If he was 6' he would be in the discussion as best CB in the draft. He would be valuable though as a situational slot corner like Nickel Roby (same size) in addition to being arguably the best return guy in college football.




    Who do you guys like?

    Switzer. Jump on the little, white, slot guy train while we can.

    Ive only caught William Likely in 2 games from last year, but I liked what I saw.

    Good scrappy player with speed and great use of his hands. Plays the ball really well so his size isnt an issue. But he does get washed out vs the run, very light guy with limited length to push off blocks.

    6th-7th round guy worth consideration

    Stanley "Boom" Williams from Kentucky. Should be a 5th-7th rounder. Just ran a 4.44 40 time which was 4th fastest for RB. A bit slower than what he was expecting he says. Should be faster at pro day. Great change of pass back for us. Small and shifty.

    2016: 171 carries, 1170 yards, 6.8 per (4th highest in SEC) and 7TDs
    2015: 121 caries, 855 yards, 7.1 per (2nd highest in SEC) and 6TDs

    He returned kicks his freshman year
    2014: 19 returns, 511 yards, 26.9 yards per

    He is the definition of explosive. The highlight at 2:50 is phenomenal.

    Highlights:

    Would love Steve T as our two down run stopper and like Switzer as well for our slot role/return man.
