Fordham quarterback John Skelton continues to generate a lot of buzz in NFL circles.

Skelton is regarded as a rising draft prospect.

He has visited the Buffalo Bills, Washington Redskins, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a source close to the program with knowledge of the situation.

The Eagles sent offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and quarterbacks coach James Urban to Skelton's Pro Day workout.

According to a league source, the Miami Dolphins have displayed a lot of interest in Skelton.

The 6-foot-5, 243-pounder has run the 40-yard dash in 4.83 seconds, registering a 33 1/2 inch vertical leap, a 9-foot broad jump and a 4.33 in the 20-yard shuttle.

He played in the East-West Shrine all-star game.

For his career, he passed for 9,923 yards, 69 touchdowns and 36 interceptions with a 58.8 completion percentage.

Last season, he passed for a career-high 2,708, 26 touchdowns and 10 interceptions with a 64.4 completion percentage.
