Round 3 (86th overall): Notre Dame safety Tom Zbikowski

5 feet 11, 210 pounds

Here's what NFL.com says about Zbikowski:

A hard-nosed safety who can hit and play strong in run support. Also a special teams return man who can be a valuable contributor in the kicking game, something new coach John Harbaugh will love in Baltimore. Not extremely quick, but has a good sense of the game.

Here's Scott Wright's scouting report from NFLDraftCountdown.com. Zbikowski's weaknesses according to Wright:

Shorter than you would prefer...Does not have great timed speed...Is not a great athlete...Can be too aggressive at times...Does not have fluid hips and could be a liability in coverage...Is prone to biting on fakes...Will need to work on his tackling fundamentals...Might be a one dimensional in-the-box type...Has a limited upside.

You're going to hear a ton about Zbikowski's career as a boxer. Here's a link to an SI.com in-depth profile about Zbikowski in the ring. Here's a snippet:

As he got older, Tom gravitated toward football and boxing. He still has scars on his hands from breaking into whatever E.J. [his brother] told him to break into. He once banged his head against a brick fireplace because it was the most efficient way to prove how hard his head was. Tom was, to put it one way, active.

And here's what he says in the article about why he boxes:

"It's just that feeling," Zbikowski says. "It's a whole 'nother world in there, than watching it from the outside. It's hard to explain what it's like. That feeling that you have what it takes to step into the ring. There's not too many people that can say they've stepped into any ring with a serious partner. That one-on-one battle, you can't blame anyone else, it's just you and him. That's it."

And finally, a breakdown from The Sun:

2007 statistics: Had a career-high 80 tackles (42 solo) with a sack and two interceptions. He also returned 23 punts for 234 yards (10.2-yard average).

Strengths: A big-time playmaker. Has seven career touchdowns - two on interceptions, two on fumble recoveries and three on punt returns. Should make big contribution on special teams.

Weaknesses: Freelances too much in the secondary. Goes for the big hit or big interception, leaving the defense exposed.
