This Saturday, while you're flipping through he myriad of college games, take a look at these three prospects who could be nice fits in midnight green come 2016.
Tennesee vs. Alabama (3:30 p.m., CBS)
Cameron Sutton, CB, Tennessee, No. 7
Sutton is a solidly built (6-0/189) corner with true man-to-man skills. He has started since Day 1 in Knoxville (started all 25 games he played in coming into his junior season). Sutton has outstanding instincts, quick-twitch muscles to turn with receivers in tight coverage and nose for the ball in the air. Not a overly physical tackler, Sutton needs to improve his technique and concentrate more on bringing his man down rather than simply trying to strip him and hoping help comes. I can see Sutton going in the second round, but he could be a steal if he falls into the third.

Richmond vs. James Madison (3:30 p.m., CSN)
Vad Lee, QB, James Madison, No. 2
Gotta throw the spotlight on my alma mater as ESPN's College Gameday is rocking JMU's quad this morning. Since coming to Harrisonburg in 2014, the Georgia Tech transfer has vaulted JMU back into the FCS Championship picture. In the Dukes' high-octane, no-huddle offense (which looks eerily like Chip Kelly's), the dual-threat QB has racked up some impressive stats (in less than two seasons, Lee has thrown for 49 TDs and rushed for 15 more) and set multiple single-game and season passing records in the process. A four-star athlete coming out of high school, Lee has the physical tools to play in the NFL. Whether or not a team takes him as a QB, WR or RB is still up in the air, but a team like the Eagles could find themselves a nice project late in the draft in the versatile Lee.

Ohio State vs. Rutgers (8 p.m., ABC)
Vonn Bell, S, Ohio State, No. 11
While the safety play of Malcolm Jenkins and Walter Thurmond has been, dare I say, terrific most of this season, the depth in the Eagles' secondary is still thin. Bell is Ohio State's top ball hawk and has made big plays throughout his career in Columbus (see his interception in last year's Sugar Bowl). There are few safeties that are better at going up and playing a ball in the air than Bell. The knock on the junior is his size (5-11/205), but if a team is looking for a versatile DB who can play sideline to sideline in the deep half or cover receivers in the slot (sound familiar Eagles fans?), Bell could be their pick somewhere before the end of the second round.
