Former FSU running back James Wilder Jr., son of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' all-time leading rusher, was among the 26 prospects at One Buc Place on Friday.

Wilder Jr. had 81 carries for 563 yards and eight touchdowns in 2013 as the Seminoles' third-leading rusher. The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder is projected to go in the middle or late rounds of May's draft.

His father, James Wilder, appeared in 113 games for the Bucs from 1981-89, rushing for 5,957 yards.
