Watkins' agent has received calls from Tampa Bay, Oakland, Tennessee, Miami and Philadelphia. He has not worked out for a team in recent weeks.

"That could be a positive thing because it may mean they already know what I can do," he said.

Watkins is considered a wild-card receiver, a player floating under the radar on some NFL boards. Dennis Georgatos of the San Jose Mercury News lists Watkins as a possible target for the 49ers if Watkins is available in the third round when the 49ers pick No. 84. Tom Casale of the Patriot Football Weekly mentions Watkins as a possible mid-round pick, categorized with Oregon's Demetrius Williams and New Mexico's Hank Baskett.

Brown, who played at Nebraska before transferring to BYU, is a possible sleeper in a draft deep in defensive tackles. Scout.com has Brown listed with a group who could be taken in the bottom portion of the draft.
