    [FONT=&quot]CB Greg Toler, St. Paul’s College (5-11, 191)[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Toler, a Division II standout from St. Paul’s in Virginia, has had one of biggest climbs of any prospect in this year’s draft. It isn’t uncommon for small-school guys like Toler to garner attention from NFL scouts early in their careers and solidify themselves as draftable prospects by their senior years. However, it is rare for a virtually unheard of small-school player to have this kind of ascension up draft boards so late in the process. [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Toler was considered more of a top-50 CB prospect at the start of the postseason, but now, after finally seeing some tape and numbers on him, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say he has a shot at coming off the board as early as the third round. He’s a gifted athlete for his size and was able to run in the low 4.4 range at his pro day. He also posted 33½-inch vertical and showcased good change-of-direction skills with a 4.18 short shuttle time and a 6.95 three-cone drill. However, what’s even more impressive is watching tape of the kid. Toler possesses some of the best feet and fluidity of any corner in the draft and is comfortable cleanly redirecting and getting out of his breaks. Toler had six interceptions and an impressive 19 passes defended last season, ranking third in the nation. It may take him time to adjust to the NFL game, and that’s the biggest concern among scouts, but he definitely has the size, coordination and talent to make it at the next level. [/FONT]
