I will doing one final Prospect Rankings revision this weekend. But I thought I would share with you (while I take a brief respite from Team Mocks) my top ranked small school guys as of today. Small school basically includes FCS, D-2 & 3 and a few other categories. For good measure, I have also included a couple of players from newly-promoted FBS schools that still barely register on the big-time college football radar.

One of the best aspects of All-Star Games is that the top 3 (Senior Bowl, Shrine Game & NFLPA Game) all bring in a solid number of these small school guys on their rosters. Combine that with Combine invitations for many of them and we get a chance to see which ones are worthy of watching game film of. This is a solid group to look at, and a few others not listed will sneak onto NFL Training Camp rosters as well.
Cheers for now…
