Brandon Copeland enjoyed a stellar senior season with Ivy League champion Penn and continued the momentum during offseason workouts. Now the Penn defensive end hopes to hear his name called in the NFL draft this weekend or to be signed as a priority free agent. Copeland, a first-team all-Ivy League player this past season, would be keeping up a family tradition if he does indeed enter the NFL. His grandfather Roy Hilton played 11 seasons in the NFL as a defensive lineman, nine with the Baltimore Colts (who have since moved to Indianapolis)

While preparing for the NFL draft, Rutgers cornerback Logan Ryan has learned that one of the best traits he could take into pro football is to show toughness, especially between the ears. Ryan, The Inquirer's 2008 South Jersey defensive player of the year from Eastern High in Voorhees, bypassed his senior year at Rutgers for the draft. He said he has heard he could go anywhere from late first round to the third round. The consensus among draft experts is that it could be in the third round.

They're No. 1 Entering Friday, three schools are tied for the most overall No. 1 picks in the NFL draft: Auburn, Notre Dame and Southern California. Auburn's most recent player leading off the selections was QB Cam Newton by Carolina in 2011. Before Newton, it was LB Aundray Bruce by Atlanta (1988); RB Bo Jackson by Tampa Bay (1986); RB Tucker Frederickson by the New York Giants (1965); and guard Ken Rice by Buffalo in the AFL (1961). For Notre Dame, it was QB Angelo Bertellis by the Boston Yanks in 1944; QB Frank Dancewicz by the same team two years later; end Leon Hart by Detroit (1950)

NEW YORK - The household names in Thursday's first round of the NFL draft will be offensive linemen, a rare occurrence that speaks to both the lack of glamour players this season and the quality of linemen. The first pick will be made by former Eagles coach Andy Reid, now the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. Reid is expected to take Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel, a 6-foot-6, 306-pound left tackle. Central Michigan's Eric Fisher is also a possibility for the No. 1 pick and almost assuredly will be a top-five pick.

TRIAL BALLOONS were launched Tuesday into the gathering trade winds, a league source said, as the NFL moved toward Thursday's first round of the draft. The source said an actual trade this far ahead of the draft would be rare. Several teams choosing in the top 10 are said to be interested in trading down; the question has been whether they will find partners in a deep draft that seems to lack high-end talent. One team that definitely fits in that looking-into-trading-down category is the Eagles.

The rise in tackle Lance Johnson's NFL draft stock can be summed up in 140 characters: Junior college quarterback turned Oklahoma offensive tackle puts up freakish combine numbers, climbs draft boards, and is now a top-10 pick.   The Twitter version, of course, is only a snippet of Johnson's story. While his ascension can accurately be described as meteoric, it does not take into account the No. 1 reason many teams have the offensive lineman rated as a first-round talent: his tape.

Here are the top players with local connections in the NFL draft: Sharrif Floyd, Florida, junior, defensive tackle. The 6-foot-3, 303-pound George Washington High School graduate is one of the top prospects in the draft and could go as early as No. 2 overall. Justin Pugh, Syracuse, senior, offensive line. There's a strong chance that the 6-5, 298-pound tackle, a graduate of Council Rock South High School, may move inside to guard. He may hear his name called before the end of the first round.

Two days before Ryan Nassib's name may be called on national TV in the first round of the NFL draft, he returned to West Chester. Nassib, one of the top college quarterbacks last season, prepped for Thursday's draft by criss-crossing the country the last three months trying to impress NFL decision-makers in personal workouts and interviews. On Tuesday, he was back home, speaking to students at St. Maximilian Kolbe School. They were once like him, before he filled out to 6-foot-2, 227 pounds and became a football star.
