Kentucky senior cornerback
Why he's No. 12: The 6-foot, 179-pound Lindley was named first-team All-SEC as a junior, recording 39 tackles, 11 pass breakups and four interceptions. He holds the school record for pass breakups with 34. He carried a second-round grade for the 2009 NFL draft, but elected to return to Kentucky for his senior season citing a desire to "get bigger and stronger." There are players faster than Lindley, who has been clocked at 4.53 in the 40, but not many college defensive backs with a better feel for the game.
Key number: 2, as in the number of times Lindley has been named an All-American. He was a second-teamer as a junior and a third-teamer as a sophomore.
Fun fact: CBSSports.com lists Lindley as the No. 1 cornerback prospect among seniors for the 2010 draft. The site's early mock draft has him going in the middle of the first round.
