National Scouting Combine spring grades including three Pro Tect clients: Tulane quarterback J. P. Losman, UCLA defensive tackle Rodney Liesle, and Utah State tight end Chris Cooley. We obtained the reports from confidential sources, then altered key data, photocopying pages to cover any imperfections. Losman’s grade was altered slightly downward so that when he went in the first round, we could take the credit for improving his outcome; Leisle’s grade was moved down so it would not appear that he dropped in the draft but was expected to go when he did, and Cooley was not altered because he went higher than projected, again a chance for us to take credit.
