Offensive winners and losers from the Senior Bowl
The Senior Bowl takes place every year after the end of the college football playoffs. It is a place where the best seniors in the country can compete against each other to prove their worth to the NFL scouts in attendance. Here are 3 risers and 1 faller from the Senior bowl.
Winners
Malik Willis, Liberty Qb
Many top quarterbacks were in attendance at this year's Senior Bowl. This is very interesting because, in a year where there is no clear number 1 QB, they all had a chance to stand out this week. Willis did exactly that. He demonstrated an outstanding arm talent and made many NFL-caliber throws. The athletic quarterback definitely helped his draft stock and it wouldn't be surprising to see him as the number 1 QB in most mock drafts.
Jalen Tolbert, South Alabama Wr
It is rare for a South Alabama player to have this much draft buzz but Tolbert is the real deal and he showcased it this week. The 6-foot 3-inch wideout was by far the best pass catcher in Mobile. The word after his performance is that he could be an excellent first or second receiver for most teams looking to add explosiveness to their offense. In this upcoming draft, the first-team all-Sun Belt Conference could well be on the Bears' radar.
Abraham Lucas, Washington State OT
Lucas looked incredibly good at the Senior Bowl. He seemed to have improved a great deal since the end of the season and NFL personnel were very impressed. The 6 foot 7-inch offensive tackle was very good at using his hand and long reach to keep defenders away which was one of his weaknesses coming out of the season. He could go earlier than expected in the draft since tackles are very valuable. It would be in the bear's best interest to take a peek at Lucas on draft night.
Faller
Romeo Doubs, South Nevada Wr
Doubs was deemed a top receiver prospect for the 2022 draft but did not make a very strong case for himself at the Senior Bowl. The 6 foot 2-inch pass catcher had trouble separating all week long. This is a serious red flag to many NFL scouts. Even against a weak cornerback group, he seemed to stay stuck with physical corners which isn't a good sign for his NFL career. The bears should look the other way on draft night.
