Macon.com - Houston submits info to NFL draft committee
Georgia rush linebacker Justin Houston has officially submitted his name to the NFL Draft advisory committee, but won't make his decision based on what they tell him.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Watt ponders entering draft
Talented Wisconsin defensive end J.J. Watt is starting to sound like he'll enter the draft.

AL.com - Nick Saban’s thoughts on underclassmen entering the draft
From Saban: “Typically, if guys are first-round picks, I tell them that I support them going out for the draft. With the unknowns (about the labor situation) this year, I’ve kind of reduced that to guys that are a top-15 pick or that they don’t have a chance to move up in the future.”

SB Nation Atlanta - Lock, Scott among potential gamebreakers for Falcons
The SB Nation Atlanta bureau says the Falcons need a playmaker. They take a quick look at Derrick Locke (Kentucky), Da'Rel Scott (Maryland), Aldrick Robinson (SMU) and Jock Sanders (West Virginia). A player I think could fit perfectly in Atlanta in the third-round range is West Virginia running back Noel Devine. He's explosive with the ball in his hands in the running and return game.

Spartanburg Herald Journal - Gurley thinking hard about the NFL
Forgot to put this up yesterday, but it looks like South Carolina redshirt sophomore Tori Gurley is entering the 2011 NFL Draft. The 23-year-old didn't blossom as many expected this season, but he's still a big play threat at 6-foot-5. The story also mentions that safety Akeem Auguste has submitted his paperwork but is unlikely to go pro.

Clarion Ledger - Boldeen requests draft evaluation
Ole Miss junior running back Brandon Bolden is seeking an evaluation from the committee. A lot of people like Bolden. He's a good all-around back and runs with some power.

All-start game invites:

Pat Devlin to Shrine Game

Prince Amukamara considering Senior Bowl

Curtis Marsh to Senior Bowl

Rashad Carmichael to Senior Bowl
