The Gophers' NFL hopefuls
A thumbnail look at the Gophers who could be drafted or sign as free agents, listed alphabetically:
Briean Boddy-Calhoun, CB, 5-9, 193 pounds
The Delaware native projects as a potential middle- to late-round draft pick. He was a first-team All-Big Ten selection as a junior and a third-team selection as a senior, despite being limited because of a knee injury.
De'Vondre Campbell, LB, 6-4, 232 pounds
Big upside here. He played linebacker in college but could be a pass-rushing defensive end in the pros, utilizing his speed. His 40-yard-dash time (4.58 seconds) ranked third among linebackers at the NFL combine.
Antonio Johnson, S, 5-11, 203 pounds
He was overshadowed by other Gophers defensive backs in recent years but quietly led the team with 102 tackles last year. Coaches thought he was a better college safety than Cedric Thompson, a fifth-round pick last year.
KJ Maye, WR, 5-8, 194 pounds
