PLAYERS INVITED:55MORE: WIDE RECEIVERS, DEFENSIVE BACKS, OFFENSIVE LINEMEN, TIGHT ENDS, QUARTERBACKS, RUNNING BACKS LEADING THE PACK:If a non-quarterback is selected first overall in this year's draft, it will be USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams. And it wouldn't be the most unlikely of things to happen, either. Williams is rated the top overall prospect in the country by CBS Sports and is almost unanimously considered among the three best prospects in this year's draft class. As a junior in 2014, he recorded 80 tackles, seven sacks, forced three fumbles and intercepted a pass. Williams can play inside or outside and is one of four defensive linemen that could be selected in the top 10.
