Yellow Jackets in the NFL Combine

The NFL Combine is very similar to recruiting. You either really care about it or you just pay enough attention to the results to barely hold a conversation with someone who breathes the stuff. The names are hyped up by the media and it's all about an individual's potential. The 2009 Combine starts today and Georgia Tech is represented by 5 of our finest:

If you are lucky enough to have the NFL Network (I don't) you can watch the entire Combine in it's entirety. Here is a link to see the combine television schedule.

Thinking about the combine makes me remember Calvin Johnson in all his glory in borrowed shoes:

Who do you think will have the most successful NFL career out of the 5?
