In 2006, he racked up 124-658-4 while catching 9 balls for 52. In 2007 his numbers were down as he fracture his foot and missed 4 complete games, but still put up 95-447-5 and caught 25 passes good for 195 yards.

Andre really helped himself during the post-season and at the Combine, and has moved into 3-4th round consideration as a result.

LATE NOTE: Showed up four pounds heavier at the NC State Pro Day and ran a 4.28 short shuttle with a 7.04 3-cone, while keeping the rest of his numbers from the Combine.

You've got to love this guy's pro size and determination. Not the most talented guy around, but really brings his A game week in and week out. Powerful N-S runner who understands he will never be an E-W back. Has a little wiggle for his size. Finishes runs. Runs people over. Smart.

Not really a tackle-breaker, or homerun threat. Not big enough or fast enough to carry a "wow" factor, but the kind who will slip into camp and be very hard for the Turk to find. Hasn't proven his hands, and has never been a FT feature back.

3-5th round.
