Michael Lemon of North Carolina State ~ 6.4/267
"Lacks power at the point of attack and is consistently handled/driven off the football in the run game. Struggles to keep his base down, extend his arms into blocks and is easily sealed away from the play on the perimeter. Isn't real explosive either off the snap.
Doesn't generate much of a pop on contact when trying to bull rush opposing linemen and fails to cleanly change directions as a pass rusher. Did exhibit some natural balance when asked to drop offinto coverage on a zone-blitz, but lacked any kind of range or athleticism to make a play on the throw.
Impression: His inability to win individual matchups with any kind of consistency at the college level doesn't bode well for his chances in the pros."

"Bio: Georgia transfer who totaled 34/9.5/3.5 last season. Part-time player for North Carolina State in 2009 and was little used reserve at Georgia prior to that.
Positive: Adequately sized defensive lineman who flashes ability. Plays with good lean, gets leverage on opponents, and works his hands throughout the action. Quick changing direction and shows the ability to get down the line of scrimmage and make plays laterally. Chases the action and attacks ball carriers.
Negative: Overall game lacks quickness and explosiveness. Average speed off the edge. Marginal production on the college level.
Analysis: Lemon flashed ability last season yet has seen minimal action the past five years on the college level. He's a developmental prospect who should be given a spot on a practice squad. Recently announced he has no immediate plans to pursue a career in the NFL."
