Quoting: "How much time do you have?" (Stanford when asked Saturday to name his strengths as a player)
R.J. Stanford
Round 7, Pick 223
Position: Cornerback
Ht.: 5-10 1/8, Wt.: 183
Home: Chino, Calif.
College: Utah
College Career: Started out as a running back as a freshman in 2006 (11 carries for 48 yards) but moved to cornerback and became a full-time starter last season as a senior. In 2009, he ranked second on the team with seven pass breakups.
Pro Prospects: Has a chance to compete for a spot in the defensive secondary and for a role on special teams. Scouts say he has cover corner skills and could be a major factor in kick coverage. He has very good speed (4.44 seconds in the 40-yard dash) and measured at 37 1/2 inches on his vertical jump at his pro day workout.
Bet you didn't know: Had 233 rushing attempts without a fumble as a senior at Chino (Calif.) High School in 2005, when he rushed for 1,800 yards and scored 28 touchdowns.
