Patrick Peterson listed as top prospect at NFL Combine by USA Today

LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson, Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley and Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers, and perhaps controversial quarterback Cam Newton, Fairley's teammate, will spend a good portion of their time at this week's scouting combine starting Thursday in Indianapolis answering (or dodging) questions about why they deserve to go No. 1.

Peterson has lockdown cover potential but isn't flashy; Fairley has displayed the ability, albeit for one breakout season, to be a game-changing force; and sack-machine Bowers' best strength actually might be in defending the run.
