Muhammad Wilkerson
Round 1, Pick 30
Position: DT
Class:  3Jr
School: Temple
Conference: Mid-American
HT: 6-4
WT: 315
40 Time: 4.96
Biography: Three-year starter awarded all-Conference honors after totaling 70/13/9.5. Previous season's numbers included 61/10.5/7.

Positives: "Terrific junior defensive line prospect with a great amount of upside. Flashes athleticism, moves well about the field, and shows ability in pursuit. Possesses a burst of speed, quickly changes direction, and easily gets out to the sidelines, making plays in space. Stays within his angle of attack, tough to move off the point, and can be an overwhelming force who bulrushes blockers off the line of scrimmage. Possesses good size as well as growth potential."

Negatives: Must develop more moves with his hands. Lacks the great bulk to this point to be an interior tackle.

Analysis: "Wilkerson has shown tremendous improvement in his game the past two seasons and comes with a great amount of potential. He has the ability to be used at several spots on the line of scrimmage and can line up as a three-technique tackle or two-gap end. He should only get better as he physically matures and improves the details of his game, eventually developing into a productive starter at the next level."

Projection: 1st
