Ones To Watch

By Ralph Mancini, NFL Draft Bible Senior Writer

DEDE DORSEY (RB-CIN)- Dorsey’s accomplishments as a special-teams ace earned him some carries in week 14. The backup runner made the most of his opportunities, gaining 81 yards on only four carries. The 5’ 11” 196-pounder has eye-catching speed to break runs to the outside and possesses the ability to make defenders miss in the open field. Lead back Rudi Johnson won’t be 100 percent for the remainder of the year which may lead to Dorsey getting some more action with the starting offense.

COURTNEY TAYLOR (WR-SEA)- The rookie wide out has been turning heads in practice by displaying good athleticism along with quality hands. What’s been most impressive about him is the way he utilizes his 6’ 1” 205-pound frame to shield defenders. Ranked as the 20th best receiver in the latest edition of the NFL Draft Bible, only Taylor’s ankle woes at Auburn prevented him from being a first-day pick during last April’s draft.
