Lamont Green
Scott Halleran/Allsport
He is a guy that is close to having an underachiever tag on him and has never seemed to play up to his potential. He was a great high school player with a lot of "sizzle" when he entered Florida State, but a combination of injuries and lackluster play has held him back from being a high draft pick. He has outstanding AA and speed and is another guy that is probably a better athlete than football player. He does lack natural size and because of it, he lacks the ability to be physical inside, must avoid blockers or he will be driven out of the play. He is fairly good in space and seems to have a knack for finding the football, but he doesn't do it often enough. He is a guy that tests great athletically, but something seems to be missing. He has a shot on the NFL level as a special teams performer and possibly a nickel LB or role player and could develop into a good pass defender, but he is not a sure thing.
