I'm an insider on ESPN, and I have access to the practice notes for some of the big name players at the senior bowl. I will be happy to post them here especially the ones that people have been talking about. I will start with the ones I think will go earliest on draft day....... so here it goes.
One minor issue though, I can't copy and paste, so I will have to type everything on the site. I'll send a link but you won't be able to see it because you have to pay. This is real info though.

Carnell "Cadillac" Williams Age: 24 School: Auburn No. 24 Pos. RB
Height: 5'11" -- Adequate but not good height.
Weight: 212 -- Has added nearly 10lbs, but still undersized.
Speed: 4.51 in the 40-yard dash. Adequate-to-good top-end speed.
Intelligence: No trouble picking up versatile offensive role.
Toughness: Is one of the toughest players pound for pound in the draft.
Strength/Flex: Tremendous strength for a smaller back. Flexibilty is improved.
Durability: Answered questions by staying healthy in final two seasons.
Character: A High-character person and hard worker. Good Leader.
Production: Productive SEC Back. Gained, 3811 career yards.
Monday 1/24 Practice notes:
Williams drew rave reviews from his coach, Jon Gruden. More then anything, Gruden - and scouts alike -- are just impressed with him participating in this game. In doing so he has shown great competitiveness and willingness to showcase his skills. Today, was a light day of practice, so it didn't test Williams blocking skills much. However, his hands were outstanding in pass-catching drills and he is clearly the best package in terms of pure runner this game has to offer. His vision, cutting ability, and second-level burst were what impressed us most on day 1.
Stay tuned for more player evalutations soon.........
