The countdown continues and our number thirteen prospect in college football is...

Defensive Lineman Allen Bailey, Miami (Senior):

The Skinny: Few defensive line prospects in the 2011 NFL Draft will have the versatility of Miami’s soon-to-be-senior, Allen Bailey. Standing 6’4” and weighing approximately 290 pounds, Bailey has rare foot quickness and first-step explosion that should allow him to play in almost any scheme. The one-man Hurricane is big enough and strong enough to man defensive end in a 3-4 scheme or serve as a 4-3 tackle, while at the same time possessing the foot speed and burst necessary to play 4-3 defensive end. He has seen time at both end and tackle the past two seasons for Randy Shannon’s Miami squad. However, Bailey is raw. He needs to work on his technique and hand usage if he is going to fulfill his vast potential at the next level. But before he moves on to the league where they play for pay, the Georgia native must build on his strong finish to 2009. The first team all-ACC performer has just 14 career starts heading into his senior campaign and didn’t truly begin to come into his own until the second half of last season, when he recorded 7.5 of his 11 tackles for loss.
