But I think after the attention he got at the Senior Bowl, I'm not sure he's really a sleeper. Some experts moved him from the top 100 overall in the draft to the top 50. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2017/03/02/10-sl... /

There's also a kid from Ashland in the group, TE Adam Shaheen.

The pre-draft buzz around @TarellBasham will only grow after today. NE coach Bill Belichick in Athens this afternoon to work out the Ohio DE

Ohio scheduled for a pro-day later this month. This was a one-on-one deal for Basham with head of the current NFL champs. Huge opportunity

As much as I hate Belichick, having him come to Athens for a private workout with Basham should pique some interest around the NFL. Hope it goes well.

There's an article regarding Belichek's travels on the Boston Globe website.

No mention of Ohio or Basham. Did he actually show up?

+1, I believe it. I wonder what he plans to do at his pro day.

Basham creeping into the second round in at least one mock draft:

Basham and Brown both appear in the 2nd round on Walter Football's latest mock.

http://walterfootball.com/draft2017.php

They arent the best mock out there but it is interesting to see Brown in there as well.

Brown has preformed well, that's probably a little high, but his physical skills and size could pay off.

He's obviously fast but I still wonder about the strength to stop the run and to bull rush an NFL offensive lineman, if asked to do those things.
