Analysis Positives: Gutty, competitive field general. A virtual coach on the field. Reads defenses well and checks down effectively. Good accuracy to all levels. Shows enough zip in the short to intermediate throws when given a deep pocket. Good touch to place the ball between the linebackers and safeties down the seams. More elusive than often given credit for. Can buy time in and out of the pocket and shows good accuracy on the move.

Negatives: May be too short for the NFL. Scouts believe his success in this system is greatly tied to throwing out of the shotgun -- and thereby the open passing lanes and middle underneath passes of the scheme. Seemed to provide further evidence of this theory with his struggles at the East-West Shrine game. Questionable arm strength. Has the zip to complete the short and intermediate passes, but has to wind-up for longer throws and due to his lack of height and release point, longer passes tend to sail.

Analysis Positives: Legitimate NFL frame. Good overall strength at the point of attack. Can anchor in the running game due to his lower-body strength and can push the tackle into the pocket. Good upper-body strength and flashes the hand technique to disengage from blockers. Good initial quickness off the snap and can threaten the edge. Cognizant, experienced defender who understands his contain responsibilities. Effective tackler in close quarters. Wraps up securely. Durable, high-effort player. Fights until the whistle and gives good effort in pursuit. Willing to throw his body onto the pile.

Negatives: Not an elite athlete. Only phone-booth quickness. Struggles a bit laterally and needs an open lane to close on the ballcarrier. Lacks the quick hips and straight-line speed to play in space. Might be a finished product.

Compares To: DARNELL DOCKETT, Arizona -- Like Dockett, Walker has impressive raw power and balance to play any position on the defensive line. He has very good timed speed, but would be better served as a strong-side end, playing alongside an under-tackle, as his ability to impact ball carriers and push the outside running game back into the pile is one of his better attributes.

Injury Report 2006: Missed most of the Michigan State game (9/30) with a shoulder contusion and AC joint sprain...Suffered a left ankle sprain vs. Wisconsin (10/28).

2007: Sat out the Ball State game (10/27) and was relegated to reserve duty for the last four contests after spraining his left ankle early in the Michigan game (10/20).

2008: Suffered a thigh contusion that forced him to the sidelines for the second half vs. Indiana (10/18)...Sprained his left ankle, missing a portion of the Wisconsin game (10/25), as that injury limited him to reserve duty the following week vs. Iowa.

Analysis Positives: Durable, high-effort center. Good initial quickness off the snap. Good hand placement and flashes the lateral quickness to stay square to the defender. Alert. Makes the line calls and is quick to pick up unexpected blitzes. Good initial pop and can turn the defender to create a hole. Shows some agility as a run blocker. Can move in space and block at the second level and on screens. Comfortable snapping out of the shotgun. High character guy. Competitive with a good work ethic; always hustling and positive-thinking leader.

Negatives: Relies on his initial foot quickness to turn defenders in the running game, but struggles to sustain. Only phone booth quickness. Quickly tires and lacks straight-line speed. Lunges at defenders at the second level, too often getting just a piece of them. Good initial pop as a pass blocker, but can be wrestled to the ground. High effort, but is a limited athlete who can be beaten by quicker and stronger defensive tackles.

Weight: 237

3 Cone Drill : 7.37 seconds

20 Yard Shuttle : 4.56 seconds

Analysis Positives: Prototypical height, good build and long arms for the position. Has a major size advantage over most corners. Adequate initial speed off the snap and foot quickness on short routes. Sells the outside route, swims past his corner to come inside. Willing to go over the middle. Can stiff arm or make a quick move after short catches, although he's not overly elusive.

Negatives: Underachiever. Poor hands. Lacks concentration on easy throws, often fighting the ball into his hands or body-catching. Questionable straight-line speed. Plays with little strength despite his size. Should be a red zone and jump ball threat but is neither. Slow to get himself open when QB is in trouble. Does not have the attitude or effort to be an effective blocker in space. Stands around instead of hitting someone, hesitates to hit targets and does not sustain.

Analysis Positives: Good height and has the frame to add additional mass without a significant loss in quickness. ... Aggressive defender that comes up quickly in run support. ... Versatile defender with experience playing throughout the secondary. ... At least adequate straight-line speed. ... Long arms. ... Physical in his jam at the line of scrimmage and when fighting through blocks. ... Reliable open field tackler. ... Breaks down well in space and has improved as a hitter. ... Experienced blitzer who can close. ... Natural hands for the interception. ... Considered an ascending player.

Negatives: Bit of a "tweener." ... May lack the hip flexibility to turn and run with receivers and lacks the bulk teams prefer at safety. ... Has been protected by Oklahoma's aggressive scheme and may struggle in a more traditional NFL defense. ... Was suspended for the 2008 Fiesta Bowl due to academics.
