  |   Dennis Dixon, who tore his ACL less than six months ago, has been working out for NFL scouts. He said his knee felt great. He’ll likely be drafted as a QB, but could play WR at the next level due to his athleticism.
Jamaal Charles, Texas RB

Charles worked out for the Bears, along with Matt Forte and Felix Jones. The Bears will definitely draft an RB in the second round of the NFL Draft, which is bad news for Cedric Benson.
Mario Manningham, U-M WR

Manningham, who is projected as a mid second rounder at this point, is apprently being investigated for behavioral issues. This must be something that NFL teams are doing more of due to the recent hard stances taken by commissioner Roger Goodell.
DeSean Jackson, California WR

Jackson, like Manningham, is being investigated for behavioral issues. He was once projected as the first WR to be taken in the draft, but his stock could be slipping.
Deuce McAllister, Saints RB

Word is that Deuce McAllister has shown the Saints enough to trust that he’ll be a key contributor in 2008, and they will not release him this offseason. He’s coming back from his second ACL tear in three seasons and microfracture surgery. He’s done it before, and he can do it again. Deuce will be a great sleeper in the late rounds of seasonal drafts this season, as most people will likely forget about him.
Leigh Bodden, Lions CB

According to Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, Bodden is one of the NFL’s best corners. We agree.
