East-West Shrine Game 2012: Offensive prospect preview

Postseason all-star games really get going this week with the East-West Shrine Game. Practices take place throughout the week with the game being played in St. Petersburg, Florida at Tropicana Field and airs Saturday on NFL Network. This year's coaches are former NFL head coaches Brad Childress and Bobby Ross.

Here are some players on offense to track throughout the week:

B.J. Coleman, QB, Tennesse-Chattanooga
The Tennessee transfer has nice size and a strong arm. A shoulder injury limited him to only seven games this season, so his numbers were down. He's a project quarterback, but should warrant a late-round pick.

B.J. Cunningham, WR, Michigan State
Cunningham garners comparisons to former Panthers receiver Mushin Muhammad because he's physical and has good hands, but isn't overly athletic or fast. He'll get drafted late because of the depth at receiver this year, but he'll produce in the NFL.

Austin Davis, QB, Southern Mississippi
Davis will have to show NFL decision makers they made a poor decision leaving him out of the NFL Scouting Combine. Davis shows good football acumen on the field and can move around in and out of the pocket.

Derek Dennis, G, Temple
Dennis showed his versatility at Temple, starting at guard and tackle. He's also pretty fluid for a 6-foot-3, 328-pound player.

Chandler Harnish, QB, Northern Illinois
A favorite and known commodity of fans of MACtion, Harnish could be the breakout player at this year's game. He's undersized, but has good athleticism for the position. He'll need a couple years of development, but Harnish has high upside.

A.J. Jenkins, WR, Illinois
There were times this season when Jenkins was a sensation — namely in his 12-reception, 268-yard performance against Northwestern. He has sure hands and has shown he knows the intricacies of route running. There is nothing special about Jenkins' play, but he's solid across the board.

David Paulson, TE, Oregon
When Paulson got the chance in Oregon's spread offense, he was productive. He's a better athlete than he's given credit, shows solid effort as a blocker and has decent hands. He could be a solid No. 2 tight end in the NFL.

Tauren Poole, RB, Tennessee
A good one-cut running back with strength. Poole is likely to time poorly, but in the right zone-blocking system he could be productive.

Bobby Rainey, RB, Western Kentucky
The squat, fast running back will have to impress over the next few months to get drafted. Rainey's best role should be on special teams and as a third running back.

Matt Reynolds, OT, BYU
After being bogged down by his weight as a junior, Reynolds slimmed up for his senior season and was much more light on his feet. He's a strong player who could be a good depth player in the NFL.

Evan Rodriguez, TE/H-back, Temple
If an NFL team needs a versatile player who can line up in multiple spots on offense and play special teams, Rodriguez will be a good choice. He has solid size, good enough hands and can be physical as a blocker.

Jarius Wright, WR, Arkansas
Arguably the best player in the Shrine Game this year, Wright could turn a good week into a late Senior Bowl invitation. He's undersized, but has good speed and hands.
