Kevin Dotson

Quite some time ago, Ragin’ Cajuns coach Billy Napier was making the case that football players from Group of Five teams like UL have just as much to chance to be noticed by NFL scouts as those from Power 5 programs do.

Their body of work all is on the modern version of film these days, and in many cases — including those of offensive lineman Robert Hunt and Raymond Calais Jr., both of whom attended the NFL Draft Combine earlier this year in Indianapolis — that’s all it takes to stand out.

No. 6: G Kevin Dotson, LOUISIANA

(6-4, 321; NA arms): Dotson played right guard alongside touted right tackle Robert Hunt and helped power a superb rushing attack. Even while becoming the Ragin' Cajuns' first All-American since 1994, he was not picked for the Scouting Combine. He was a four-year starter at right guard. As a senior, he allowed one sack and three total pressures for a pressure rate of 0.7 percent. That was the second-best in this year's interior class. The team won 60 percent of its runs behind Dotson, according to Sports Info Solutions. That's the third-best rate in the class. He allegedly ran his 40 in the 4.8s at a recent pro day.

"I feel like I'm very versatile," he told USA Today recently. "I like the power schemes. I love being able to block down on people. This year, we pretty much ran inside and outside zone exclusively. I like doing that a lot. I just don't wanna be pigeonholed at the end of the day. I don't want people to look at me and say, 'Oh, he's a strong guy, we have to put him in a power scheme.' We ran inside zone most of the time. I just don't want to be pigeonholed."

From no invitation to the combine to the best in the NFL as a rookie is making my head spin.

From no invitation to the combine to the best in the NFL as a rookie is making my head spin.

First Team AP All-American and not being invited to the combine was a travesty.
