Senior Bowl defensive line review … he defensive line in the Senior Bowl game was actually somewhat harder to review than the OL group, in large part because of some questions about level of competition. In particular, the National team defensive linemen, led by Arkansas SE Landon Jackson and Central Arkansas’ David Walker, were blowing past their American… Read More »
Senior Bowl offensive line review … We always start these things with the proviso that there has seldom been much of a direct correlation between which players at the Senior Bowl actually play well, which ones get drafted where, and which ones turn out to be good pros. That said, we thought it was pretty clear cut at… Read More »
Senior Bowl wraps; on to Indy … The Senior Bowl just ended in Mobile with the American team pulling out a dramatic 22-19 win when Memphis QB seth Henigan hit TCU WR Jack Bech with a 2-yard scoring play with no time left on the clock.

QB Sanders has Shrine games best moment … He wasn’t even playing in Thursday night’s East-West Shrine game in Frisco, Texas, but Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders may have had the games best moment during an in-game interview on the NFL Network. When asked about his father Deion’s calls during some of the interviews, Sanders the younger laughed and… Read More »
Shrine game observations … Just finished re-watching last night’s East-West Shrine game in Dallas which was kind of a sloppy affair with 7 turnovers, multiple sacks, and way too many penalties for an all-star game that as pretty lop-sided to boot with the East team cruising to a 25-0 shutout win. Of course, as we have noted in… Read More »

Senior Bowl observations: Thursday morning report … After a couple of high-tempo practices, the National team session Thursday morning was something of a muted affair with mostly a lot of situational work especially in the red zone. As such, there wasn’t a whole lot new to report so instead here’s our very informal, very unofficial list of players… Read More »
Senior Bowl observations: Wednesday afternoon report … Second day! same as the first! Or something like that. Certainly, anyone who hoped to get a better feel for Jalen Milroe and/or Jaxson Dart, ostensibly QBs 3 and 4 in this year’s draft class, in this afternoon’s practice than they did yesterday. Neither threw the ball more than a half… Read More »
Second day! same as the first! Or something like that. Certainly, anyone who hoped to get a better feel for Jalen Milroe and/or Jaxson Dart, ostensibly QBs 3 and 4 in this year’s draft class, in this afternoon’s practice than they did yesterday. Neither threw the ball more than a half dozen times against pressure and neither looked… Read More »
Senior Bowl observations: Wednesday morning practice … The National team went thru another high-energy practice session at the Senior Bowl in Mobile this morning that included more than just a little bit of feistiness. And that feistiness was most obvious at the always entertaining one-on-one drills between the offensive and defensive linemen. Recall that yesterday, the offensive line… Read More »
Senior Bowl Report: Tuesday afternoon … For whatever reason, until the very end, this afternoon’s Senior Bowl practice session in Mobile lacked the crispness and energy of the morning workout.

Following up on Shedeur at Shriners … Even though he is not in uniform Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders remains the big story at this week’s East-West Shrine practices at North Texas in Dallas.

Big Board tweaked … We were actually only planning to a major revision to the GBN Big Board after the all-star games; however, we keep hearing of some major moves by a number of players and we thought it perhaps a good idea to do a preliminary revision right away as several of those players will be in… Read More »
