2016 NFL Draft: San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl

Northern Illinois

#55 C Andrew Ness (6’3 | 298 | 5.17)

Has been named the first team All-MAC center for two consecutive years and has started 56 straight games for the Huskies. Ness has been the heart of an O-line that has produced a productive rushing attack for four seasons in a row and complements his bulk with elite awareness of opposing defenses and quick enough feet to get to the 2nd level. His experience and ability to make adjustments at the line of scrimmage are probably his best NFL skills but his strength, good technique, and smooth footwork should allow him to earn a roster spot as a rookie.

Projection: 7th-FA
