Southern Mississippi junior wide receiver DeAndre Brown has declared for the 2011 draft. The 6-5, 240-pound Brown was has been hampered by injuries, including a broken leg in 2008 and a lower leg strain this past season which caused him to miss seven games. In five games played, Brown totaled 19 catches, 284 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Currently, Brown is considered to be a mid-round prospect but his draft stock could tilt in either direction, depending on how he checks out medically.

Mike Martin, a junior nose tackle from Michigan said that he will consider entering the NFL Draft as an early-entry candidate after the season is over following Saturday’s Gator Bowl, according to the Detroit Free Press. Martin was named U-M’s defensive lineman of the year, finishing with 36 tackles, six for loss and two and a half sacks. “Whenever an opportunity is presented, you never pass up an opportunity,” he said. It seems unlikely that Martin would crack the early rounds, he is considered a day three prospect according to the NFL Draft Bible.
