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. For the most part, this game was generally dominated by the defensive lines. Indeed, a pretty good case can be made that the players of the game were DEs Landon Jackson of Arkansas and/or LSU’d Sa’vion Jones. although there were several others on the defensive front that helped their cause this afternoon. In fact, we’ll be taking our time and reviewing the game film later this evening taking an in-depth look at both the offensive and defensive fronts with a report to come.
In the meantime, anyone looking for a little clarity on the second-tier QB situation for the 2025 draft probably came away from the game a little disappointed as none of the guys in Mobile made enough throws to really draw any substantive conclusions. However, if any of the QBs at the Senior Bowl did help themselves today it was Henigan and Notre Dame’s Riley Leonard both of whom were very smooth and decisive, while Canadian Taylor Elgersma from Laurier at least didn’t look out of place. If there was a negative note about the QBs it was that Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, who had an inconsistent week of practice, didn’t didn’t do much to change anyone’s mind on that score. Milroe can spin it when he’s got time to set his feet, but just doesn’t look like a natural passer; he also doesn’t look all that comfortable or decisive in the pocket. At the same time, we really can’t comment on Mississippi’s Jaxson Dart as he just wasn’t involved in enough plays.
