Martez Carter, RB, Grambling — After rushing for 854 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior, Carter was impressive at the NFLPA Bowl. He ran for 45 yards on 10 carries, displaying power despite a 5-9, 205-pound frame. He has great balance with a low center of gravity. He also showed off quick feet and adept hands while catching the ball out of the backfield. Carter ran for 2,628 yards and 29 touchdowns and caught 74 passes for 961 yards and nine scores over his college career.

Aaron Tiller, DE, Southern — Though undersized at 6-1, 256, Tiller is aggressive and instinctual. He’s strong despite his size and is able to disrupt plays thanks to a quick first step that found him consistently in the backfield during the NFLPA Bowl.

I watched the game and Martez got a lot of touches. He ran just like we saw him in the SWAC. Some analysts gave him going as high as the 3rd round.

Followed are some quotes:

American running back Martez Carter of Grambling State led all rushers with 45 yards on 10 carries.

"Carter did a good job," Green said. "Sometimes people kind of put you in a box because you come from a Division II school. I came from a D-II school (Texas A&I). He'll be in the NFL."

• Grambling running back Martez Carter was the talk of the game and the week. He finished with 69 yards from scrimmage. The undersized, dual-threat back proved he can finish touches as he was the only American runner to gain anything significant.

IMO, Martez was Martez and Aaron was Aaron. Wasn't no surprise to me that they stood out.

• Aaron Tiller is a bit undersized at defensive tackle but he performed a nice spin move that got him a sack. He is a deep sleeper prospect from Southern.

Yeah some scouts/analysts that I read posts from said that Carter will be this year's Chad Williams as someone who probably could be a 3rd day steal.

He is a bigger Tarik Cohen. Only difference is that he doesn't dance as much (he doesn't need to with his size)

So true. Will be a good change of pace back in the NFL!
