As LSU players prepare for Notre Dame in the Citrus Bowl, some may have one eye on their draft grade from the NFL as they make decisions about next season.

Two of them who requested their draft grades are offensive tackle Toby Weathersby and cornerback Donte Jackson.

Weathersby is considered the 19th-ranked offensive tackle, according to WalterFootball.com, while Jackson is the 12th-ranked cornerback. USA TODAY’s Draftwire ranked Weathersby the No. 14 offensive tackle, while Jackson was No. 17 at his position.

Jackson immediately removed any suspense about his decision, as he told Ross Dellenger of The Advocate that there was “no question” he would come back to school if his draft grade suggested that he do so. For his part, Weathersby said he’s focused on the bowl game.

Weathersby’s frame, 6-foot-6, 310 pounds, is believed to be one of his strengths as a run blocker at the next level.
