I would like to have Ashton take a look at two of these stories:
2. Jaguars: Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon
Hometown: Chandler, Ariz.
Class: 2008
Rivals' recruiting ranking: Four stars
This four-star tight end from Chandler, Ariz., didn't pan out. After redshirting, Jordan couldn't crack the depth chart on offense. Fortunately for Jordan, he put on 30 pounds and became a 6-foot-6, 245-pound 3-4 outside linebacker who also can play with his hand on the ground in a 4-3. NFL teams love Jordan's blend of size and speed and his versatility. The athleticism was obvious in high school, but it took Ducks coaches to find Jordan's proper position.
6. Chargers: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
Hometown: Groveton, Texas
Class: 2008
Rivals' recruiting ranking: Zero stars
Not many high school quarterbacks become NFL offensive tackles, but that's the path Johnson took. The 6-6, 202-pound Johnson was the signal-caller at tiny Groveton (Texas) High. He threw 23 touchdown passes as a junior. He played quarterback as a freshman at Kilgore College, but his coach moved him to tight end the following spring. Several schools, including Southern Miss, TCU and Oklahoma, got wind of the 252-pound Johnson's athleticism and offered scholarships. Johnson chose Oklahoma, where he redshirted in 2009. He moved to defensive end in 2010, then right offensive tackle in 2011. In 2012, the 303-pound Johnson started 11 games at left tackle.
