2011 UDFA Defensive Backs

The Skins drafted a few defensive backs and it would not hurt for them to bring in some undrafted free agents for competition. Some of the players that were not drafted had better pre-draft measureables than those the Team drafted. The measureables for the drafted players are shown separately.

Deunta Williams, North Carolina, has listings at FS and CB, but was unable to perform predraft test due to surgery. Nevertheless he looks like a good prospect, had the best NFP grade of the UDFA listed, and was CBS Sports 6th ranked FS.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina safety Deunta Williams has had surgery to repair his broken right leg. UNC report

"The school said Thursday that Williams had his right fibula surgically repaired Wednesday at UNC Hospitals. Williams broke his leg in the first half of the Tar Heels' Music City Bowl victory over Tennessee. He was hurt with 5:32 left in the first quarter as he helped tackle tight end Luke Stocker at the end of an 8-yard reception. He finished his senior season with 49 tackles and three pass breakups." Joe Lefeged, Rutgers and David Sims, Iowa State, were the 7th and 12th rank SS prospects by CBS Sports. Also, Ryan Jones from Northwest Missouri State, had the highest vertical jump of 40 inches and the second highest NFP grade of the UDFA listed.
