WIDE RECEIVER (2): Rashid Shaheed, Weber State; Dai'Jean Dixon, Nicholls State

TIGHT END (1): Lucas Krull, Pittsburgh

OFFENSIVE LINEMAN (4): Sage Doxtater, New Mexico State; Derek Schweiger, Iowa State; Lewis Kidd, Montana State; Eric Wilson, Penn State

Per reports, Smith got $222,000 in guaranteed money, while Shaheed got $220,000. Lewis Kidd was given $10,000.

Defense

DEFENSIVE BACK (4): DaMarcus Fields, Texas Tech; Smoke Monday, Auburn; Vincent Gray, Michigan; Jack Koerner, Iowa

LINEBACKER (3): Joel Dublanko, Cincinatti; Nephi Sewell, Utah; Isaiah Pryor, Notre Dame

SPECIAL TEAMS (2): Daniel Whelan, Punter, UC Davis; John Parker Romo, Kicker, Virginia Tech

Smoke Monday got $120,000 guaranteed, which is the only one we've learned of from the defensive side.
