Kris Durham of Georgia ~ 6.5/210
"A long, lean athlete who doesn't run real well and is more of a strider down the field. Lacks a great initial get off burst and isn't sudden or quick off the line and will likely really struggle to get off press in the NFL. However, he does a great job working the middle of the field, isn't afraid to put his body in danger and has the ability to routinely come down with the tough catches through contact. Plus, he possesses that sneaky, strider speed and does a nice job baiting corners as a route runner and then quickly turning up the field and getting behind DB's vertically.
He displays good effort as a blocker, has a solid feel sitting down into soft spots vs. zone and has the hands to routinely pluck the football away from his frame. He doesn't strike me as a real jump ball threat because he isn't overly physical or explosive, but he uses his frame well to shield defenders from the football in the short/intermediate pass game.
Impression: Isn't a high draft pick by any stretch and likely will end up as a free agent, but strikes me as a tough possession-type guy who can work from the slot, do the dirty work over the middle and make a roster the hard way."

"Bio: Posted career-high numbers of 32/659/3 as a senior when he started eight games. Redshirted in 2009 after suffering a torn labrum. Junior totals of '08 included 13/199/1 when he started four games.
Positive: Dependable receiver who gets the most from his ability. Smart, tough, and gives effort in all aspects. Comes back to the ball out of breaks, works to come free, and sacrifices his body in order to make the reception. Effectively uses the sidelines, consistently extends his hands, and catches the ball away from his frame. Sturdy wide out who takes the big hit yet holds onto the ball. Effectively adjusts to the errant pass. Always finds a way to come free. Gets results blocking down the field.
Negative: Does not show a burst to his game and is more of a one-speed receiver who will not stretch the defense. Marginal skill running after the catch.
Analysis: Durham was a dependable backup for most of his Georgia career and answered the call when he was required to move into the starting lineup this season. He lacks great upside but is a polished in many aspects of his game and could make an NFL roster as a fifth receiver."
