Colin Baxter Scouting Report
Projected Draft Position
by FFToolbox Writers
Matt De Lima's 5/11 Mock Draft Not selected
Position: C
School & Year/Status: Arizona - Senior
Jersey Number: #64
Height & Weight: 6'4 - 295 lbs.
2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Colin Baxter, C, Arizona
For Four years Colin Baxter has been the unsung hero for Arizona's
offense. After redshirting in 2006 and beginning the 2007 campaign as
a backup, Baxter has been a staple in the Wildcats' starting lineup.
Even as a redshirt freshman in 2007, it did not take Baxter long to
earn a starting role and he ended up starting the final 11 games of
the season. Like the 2007 campaign, Baxter again started the 2008
season at the left guard spot. However an injury to then center Blake
Kerley forced Baxter into the middle of the line for the final nine
games of the season.
Baxter performed so well at the center spot that he never left. In
2009 he was a second-team All-Pac-10 honoree following his honorable
mention accolades a year earlier. By 2010 he was earning even more
accolades and was a Rimington Trophy Award finalist. Baxter's
collegiate career ended on a sour note as he was sidelined with a knee
injury for ASU's Alamo Bowl appearance against Oklahoma State.
It is hard to find any player with more starting experience than
Baxter. He may not be the best center out there in any single
category, but he is a smart player who can quickly learn to run an
offense from under center. His versatility to move over and play some
guard is not a bad thing either. Baxter's future is likely at center
and a team that needs depth at that position right away will pick up
Baxter late in the draft.

baxter play at center, he really looked like he had the tools... great
scouting by the jets... he looks like a real find. i am not so worried
now about mangold being out for a few weeks...
IMHO, Hunter is the guy they need to get off the field

Agree, I think Baxter will be fine but Hunter has to stay off the
field. There is a report that Sanchez has a bruised throwing arm. They
have to protect him better. He is taking way too many hits and if it
continues they are going to lose him for the season. And I have zero
confidence in Brunell. Too bad they lost Greg McElroy for the season
because he looked good in the preseason.
