Northern Iowa wide receiver Daurice Fountain has the longest arms of any wide receiver in the East-West Shrine Game (34.5 inches), but it's the long stride and acceleration of the 6-foot-2, 210-pounder that stands out. During Tuesday's practice, Fountain showed the ability to reach top speed in a hurry, allowing him to rack up yardage after the catch on screen and swing passes.

South Florida running back D'Ernest Johnson has posted two consecutive solid days of practice to open the week. The 5-foot-11, 204-pounder showed decisiveness in his cuts, allowing him to burst upfield for some solid gains. He also caught several passes out of the backfield that he was able to turn into double-digit pickups.

Memphis quarterback Riley Ferguson looked smooth Tuesday working under center, showing marked progress compared to his work Monday, when he struggled with his timing on plays that were not run from the shotgun. Ferguson appears to have the best raw arm talent of the six quarterbacks on hand this week.

North Carolina State DT Kentavius Street was consistently in the backfield during Tuesday's East team practice, using a variety of moves to disrupt run and pass plays with equal effectiveness. Street delivered in one-on-one drills Tuesday, which allowed him to successfully build off a strong Monday practice in which he knocked down a pass at the line of scrimmage.

Delaware defensive tackle Bilal Nichols was consistently disruptive during the team period of Tuesday's practice, building off a solid Monday in which he was able to defuse some of runs from the inside.

Nebraska cornerback Joshua Kalu showed good speed in staying step-for-step with UNLV WR Devonte Boyd during a one-on-one repetition Monday, allowing Boyd to get no separation up the right sideline. Kalu then capitalized off a throw that was short of Boyd, adjusting to the football in mid-air to win the jump ball with Boyd and finish with an interception. Kalu also tried to give himself an extra challenge by catching passes one-handed during a drill in practice Tuesday.

Edge rusher could be the strongest group here, and Central Michigan's Joe Ostman opened the week with two consecutive strong days that saw him consistently disrupt all of the West team's quarterbacks. The 6-foot-2, 248-pounder's strong play off the edge is no surprise; he had 14 sacks in just 10 games last season.

Colorado running back Phillip Lindsay delivered perhaps the best run of the day Tuesday in a nine-on-seven period, scampering through a hole to the left side for a long gain. Lindsay measured at 5-foot-7-3/8 and 185 pounds on Monday, and while he doesn't appear to project as an every-down back, he could flourish as a situational back. Lindsay also fielded punt returns during Monday's practice.

Washington State guard Cody O'Connell is the heaviest player at the East-West Shrine Game, checking in at 365 pounds, but the 6-foot-8-1/2-inch offensive lineman carries it well and showed solid fluidity and agility during West team line drills Tuesday.

USF QB Quinton Flowers has perhaps the biggest adjustment. At 5-foot-10 1/4, he is the shortest quarterback at the Shrine Game, and in college he was a prototypical dual-threat quarterback, posting back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons. On multiple occasions Monday, he tucked the ball away and scrambled instead of waiting for the opportunity to pass. Flowers also will have to do more work under center; he said he plans to continue taking extra snaps from under center over the next few months to prepare himself. He also showed additional versatility by fielding punts during Tuesday's practice.

Wisconsin's Alec James also had a disruptive day for the West team in Tuesday's practice, blowing up a handful of runs while also bursting off the edge for pressures that would have been sacks in game conditions. At 6-foot-3 and 270 pounds, James is strong at the point of attack and explosive for his size.

Senat is much lighter on his feet and more agile than you would expect a 322-pounder to be. During Wednesday's practice, he won most of his pass-rush drills, adding an effective spin move to the bull rush that he has the strength to utilize. Senat's play against the run forced the East offensive line to make him the focus of double-teams, but he was still able to disrupt plays, either by forcing his way into the backfield or continuing to move laterally, allowing other front-seven players to make stops.

Most years, some East-West Shrine Game standouts get the call to take part in the Senior Bowl the following week through late invitations. This year,  Toth is the first player to get that call. The 6-foot-6 inch tackle was one of the best run blockers in college football -- which made him particularly effective for the ground-intensive Black Knights. Toth added 85 pounds of mass over the last four years, transforming himself into an effective player -- and Army's first Senior Bowl selection.

Barrett's combination of overall productivity and experience in high-leverage games and situations gives him a good chance of being drafted, even though his overall arm strength does not match that of some other quarterbacks in this year's draft class. At times, Barrett seemed to want to show teams that he would pass rather than run, and he occasionally bypassed wide-open running lanes upfield to get the ball out to his running backs and tight ends. This will serve him well in the long term, but as he begins developing as a pro, he will continue to need to rely on his mobility.

Nothing about the measurables jumps out for Nichols, a 5-foot-9, 186-pound cornerback with the shortest arms of any player at the East-West Shrine Game (29 1/4 inches). But his tenacity, aggressiveness and willingness to attack opposing receivers at the line of scrimmage made him the "plays bigger than he stands" defensive back of this week's proceedings. His one-on-one duels with Northern Iowa wide receiver Daurice Fountain were among the most spirited of the week. Nichols has a chance to develop into a solid slot cornerback.

When the 6-foot-6, 275-pounder is on, he is one of the most difficult players to block in this year's class. He does a good job using his 34 1/8-inch arms to maximum effectiveness working against opposing tackles; his length allows him to keep his distance while his strength gives him the ability to still use the tackle as leverage when he has proper hand placement. Consistency is the biggest knock on Thomas at this point, but if his potential can be harnessed, he could be effective as a defensive end in either 4-3 or 3-4 schemes.

The 6-foot-1, 245-pound West team linebacker was able to make his college production translate to another level this week, frequently winning his one-on-one matchups with a variety of moves. Rolland-Jones' versatility could also project well to a special-teams role if he doesn't work his way into a defensive rotation during his rookie season.

Mizzou's reputation for producing draft-worthy pass rushers looks set to continue with Frazier, who consistently dominated in drills and team periods throughout the week. The 6-foot-4, 261-pound Frazier was also effective against the run, holding his ground at the point of attack.

With players like Senat who arrive at all-star games from FCS, Division II or Division III, you want to find out if their measurables, athleticism and dominance at their levels will translate to a higher caliber of competition. Senat's quickness stood out -- which is what you expect for an offensive tackle who carries 294 pounds on his 6-foot-6 frame. He will likely need to get up to or above 300 pounds, but as the game continues to evolve and incorporate more spread concepts that play into the hands of lithe, athletic tackles, Senat could be well-positioned for eventual success if a team gives him enough time to develop.
