NFL Draft 2012: Alshon Jeffery Leaves South Carolina As Potential Top-Five Pick

Jeffery was once regarded as one of the top prospects at his position in the 2012 NFL Draft. A disappointing season with the Gamecocks in 2011 and rumors about his conditioning conspired to push him down draft boards in the eyes of many.

The South Carolina receiver did not participate in drills at the Combine in February. He did answer some questions about his overall shape when he weighed a respectable 216 pounds. At his pro day, Jeffery weighed 213 pounds. Tony Pauline of SI.com cited sources from two AFC teams that said Jeffery would not be drafted until the middle part of the second round following the Combine.
