Troy had some interesting players on their roster this past season who attracted attention from pro scouts, and the press, but who didn't get a Combine invitation. Two who have interested me are RB Jordan Chunn and QB Brandon Silvers. I have no interest in Silvers as a Giant, but think he may be a long shot sleeper QB prospect. While his accuracy can be erratic, he's got good traits as well and has participated in a successful program.
Chunn is a large power back who has also been very successful, but lacks quickness, though he is otherwise very capable. I view him as 50/50 for being able to perform as a short yardage specialist RB in the NFL, but one who has a high upside if he proves he can do more. I am VERY interested in him as a late round or UDFA possibility for the Giants.
"The following players will be participating: Josh Anderson, Jordan Chunn, Andre Flakes, Jalen Harris, Sam Lebbie, Tevaris McCorminck, Kamryn Melton, Steven Rowzee, Tyquae Russell, Jamal Stadom, Brandon Silvers, Baron Poole, Emmanuel Thompson and Kris Weatherspoon."
"Players will take the Wonderlic test, then participate in weight room activities, which includes: height, weight, broad jump, vertical jump and bench press. Following weight room activities, players will perform running drills on the field"

I'm very interested in seeing what RB Ito Smith shows at this. While also snubbed by the Combine; though smallish, I believe he's a legitimate NFL prospect.
