Day 2 from the 2025 Senior Bowl noticed the complete pads get placed on. Day-after-day is an thrilling one right here, however when the pads come on, the depth ranges rise to essential ranges. Each practices right now have been extremely bodily, and there have been gamers scrapping after performs for the American and Nationwide groups.
By way of the fights, nevertheless, we noticed some actually fascinating gamers stand out and proceed to play nicely after robust first days. Listed below are my observations from an intense day two.
- On the Nationwide aspect, Toledo DT Darius Alexander has continued to place collectively actually robust days. He’s proven positional versatility, profitable reps in move rush from the within and outdoors, whereas consistently offering strain from the inside. He got here in at a great measurement at 6’3 and 304 kilos with 34-inch arms, and people measurables with the extent he’s performed at places him as a lock for the second day of the draft.
- Boston School EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku had a very good day as nicely. He’s gained quite a bit within the run recreation, however this was his finest day as a move rusher. He hit Purdue OT Marcus Mbow with a candy chop and rip transfer. He’s positively extra of a standup man, however he’s a productive move rusher.
- Central Arkansas EDGE David Walker is a stumpy participant at 6’0 and 267 kilos, however when he goes pace to energy it’s actually spectacular. He drew two holding calls throughout his reps right now. Unsure the place his draft vary is, however he’s a singular participant.
- Syracuse RB LeQuint Allen had some actual dope moments as a receiver right now. Confirmed off receiver-like potential to regulate and make performs on passes within the air. I feel that’s going to maintain him on an NFL roster.
- Donovan Edwards from Michigan is an fascinating case. He was DROPPING LBs in the course of the RB-LB move protection session, however then in workforce he put the ball on the bottom, fumbling a few occasions. Edwards’ inventory has plummeted because the starting of the season, but when he can showcase the receiving chops he would possibly stick on an NFL roster as a depth RB.
- UCLA EDGE Olu Oladejo had some fairly sick reps right now. Actually turned his play up because the pads began popping. He was lined up over the guard and heart a few occasions and dusted his opposition.
- Oklahoma State RB Ollie Gordon II is a dependable participant between the tackles as a runner, however man he’s a bit stiff as a move catcher. He couldn’t actually sink his hips or create separation from the linebackers, which scared me off a bit bit. Nonetheless a high quality participant, however a restricted one as nicely.
- Conversely, his teammate LB Nick Martin had some enjoyable reps in move protection. He was clearly one of the best move protection LB on his workforce, creating a pair PBUs.
- Mike Inexperienced did this:
First spherical participant.
- One other high quality day of labor for NDSU OL Gray Zabel and NC State OT Anthony Belton. Belton intrigues me along with his measurement and motion abilities.
- Tennessee DT Omarr Norman-Lott wasn’t practising right now because of damage.
- There have been some spectacular battles this week, however LSU OL Emery Jones Jr. and Texas A&M EDGE Shemar Stewart have been going to WAR. They went after one another repeatedly, each splitting reps. That is what this week is about.
- Jones bought some work at guard and was additionally actually good there. I feel Jones deserves the prospect to attempt to sort out, however he would make a really good guard.
- UNC C Willie Lampkin has been actually good this week. He’s an outlier in actually each facet of the sport (a 5’10, 270 pound heart?) however his wrestling background and grip power have confirmed to achieve success each on the pivot and at guard. I ponder if a change to fullback is in retailer.
- Arizona OL Jonah Savaiinaea is an fascinating case. He’s struggled quite a bit at sort out this week, however has been a lot, a lot better at guard. But, he doesn’t get many reps at guard. His body and restricted motion on an island would possibly make him finest fitted to inside.
- LSU TE Mason Taylor had some up and down reps in move safety, however he’s such a clean route runner and offers a whole lot of effort in run blocking. I’m a giant fan of his recreation.
- Two small college linemen stood out right now on the American aspect: Jacksonville State OL Clay Webb and Sacramento State OL Jackson Slater. Each guys did a great job refitting fingers after preliminary move rush, and Webb confirmed some leg drive and energy that I believed was actually spectacular.
- Georgia Tech TE Jackson Hawes is a menace as a blocker. He loves to combine it up in that space, and he gained a whole lot of reps within the LB-TE move professional session. He additionally hauled in a one-handed seize which was enjoyable. Get up babe, a brand new Tip Reimann dropped.
- Notre Dame LB Jack Kiser is perhaps one of the best linebacker at this occasion total. He’s been probably the most constant of the backers within the run and passing recreation, and confirmed off some good motion abilities in the case of dropping his weight and altering path. He picked off a move thrown by Alabama QB Jalen Milroe the place he dropped into his zone and located the following instant menace. He’s had a great week.
- Georgia WR Arian Smith is…irritating. He had three drops throughout the whole observe, but in addition made a number of the finest performs downfield on the sideline. I feel he’s a linear athlete who works finest going ahead and backward, however his fingers are a serious situation.
- The linebackers right now have been on the market THUMPIN SHIT. Auburn LB Eugene Asante was taking dudes out and letting individuals learn about it. South Carolina LB Demetrius Knight II completely hammered Delaware RB Marcus Yarns on a toss play. Knight is a brilliant intriguing participant, and people two have been on the market making some shit shake.
- Georgia LB Smael Mondon Jr. was actually good right now, in each the run and passing recreation. He made some huge performs defending the backs, I used to be actually impressed.
- SMU RB Brashard Smith is a cheat code within the passing recreation. I don’t suppose anybody has constantly shut him down.
- UCF RB RJ Harvey had a pleasant day throughout. Made some spectacular performs as a receiver, and confirmed off some good imaginative and prescient as a runner. The move safety continues to be coming alongside (as a result of he’s 5’7) however every little thing else is there.
- Georgia DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins doesn’t get the identical recognition of his teammates, however he’s been shocking this week. Received with energy and burst, I’ve been impressed.
- These three reps from LSU’s Emery Jones Jr. and Texas’ Barryn Sorrell are what that is about. The competitors right now was superior.
- In case you want a QB this 12 months…no you don’t.
- Utah State WR Jalen Royals has been actually good this week. He’s at his finest on in-breaking routes like slants, digs and does some good work on screens, however he’s proven a wide range of methods to get open, together with merely bowling a DB over:
- Whoever’s unc was on the aux right now, inform him that I feel he’s nice.
