Geno Atkins, who played in the 2010 game, dominated as a Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman with 75.5 career sacks and eight Pro Bowl selections.

Alabama QB Jalen Milroe fails to separate himself after first Senior Bowl practice
No player at the Reese's Senior Bowl has a better opportunity than Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. After an up-and-down season in a new system with the Crimson Tide, Milroe needs a strong week in Mobile to try and separate himself from the rest of the second tier or quarterback in the 2025 NFL draft. But on the first day of practice, Milroe didn't do much to help himself. According to multiple reports from those in attendance, Milroe once again struggled with his accuracy throwing the football, which plagued him all season long. On his own roster, Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart and Notre Dame's Riley Leonard are pushing Milroe for that No. 3 quarterback spot in the draft and both were stronger on Tuesday. Meanwhile on the National roster, Oregon's Dillon Gabriel wowed everyone with the fastest-clocked throw in offseason history. Milroe's ceiling is as high as any quarterback in this draft but he feels more like a project player who will need the right scheme and the right coaching to help him clean up the issues he has with throwing the football.

Giants are 'open to anything' in the 2025 NFL draft
For NFL front offices and general managers, this week is the official launch of the offseason process with both the East-West Shrine Bowl and the Senior Bowl on tap. Free agency will be here in six weeks and the 2025 NFL draft six weeks after that. That may seem like a long time to work with, but it goes fast. New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen, who has the No. 3 overall selection in the draft, was in Mobile, Alabama on Tuesday for the annual Reese's Senior Bowl and, as always, told the media he was keeping his options open in the upcoming draft. 'We're going to be open to anything,' Schoen said, via 'We're in a good position sitting at three with the players that are available. By process of elimination, we know we're going to get a good player. Regardless of what happens the next couple of months, we know there's going to be a really good player there.' Over the weekend, Schoen was in Arlington, Texas, the site of this year's East-West Shrine Bowl, and met with several of their year's top quarterback prospects, most notably, Colorado's Shedeur Sanders. 'He's a great kid, he's a great kid, a really good personality, football smart, his dad (Deion Sanders) is a football coach,' said Schoen. 'It's a little bit cliché, but he checks all the boxes of a (player with a) dad that is a football coach and the passion that he approaches the game with. 'It was good getting to meet him. He's had a really good career at Colorado and obviously looking forward to getting to knowing all those guys in the rest of the process.' The Giants also have approximately $53 million in available cap space to use in free agency this March, so Schoen has a lot of ammunition to turn his 3-14 club around.

Four members of the Crimson Tide to play in 2025 Reese's Senior Bowl
Outside of the NFL Combine, there is no tool that better helps prepare players for the draft than the Reese's Senior Bowl. The annual game, held in Mobile, AL, is only for seniors, though, so no underclassman who declared for the draft early can participate. It's a rare opportunity for the draft prospects as they get to spend a week practicing on the field with NFL coaching staff and personnel evaluating them. Over the years, the Alabama Crimson Tide has become quite familiar with the Senior Bowl due to the game being in the Tide's home state, as well as the numerous players that Nick Saban sent to the week-long event. This year's crop of Crimson Tide standouts will include QB Jalen Milroe, TE C.J. Dippre, DL Tim Smith, and P James Burnip. Milroe will be the wild card pick, as some projections have him going as high as No. 3 overall and as low as the end of the second round. However, the other three are likely going to be third-day draft picks and this week of practice could have a massive impact on their draft stock. Last year, South Carolina's Spencer Rattler was named the MVP of the camp. No former Alabama player has been named an MVP since RB Paul Ott Carruth won in 1985. This year's Reese's Senior Bowl will take place this Saturday on the NFL Network at 1:30 p.m. CST.

Texas A&M senior DL will not participate in the Senior Bowl
Texas A&M's 2024 defensive line included three starters who will likely be selected in the first three rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft. The line was led by former five-star prospect Shemar Stewart, who has been mocked by several teams in the bottom half of the first round. This week, all three players, including defensive linemen Nic Scourton and Shemar Turner, were set to participate in the annual Reese's Senior Bowl, but as of Tuesday, only Shemar Stewart is set to play in Saturday's game, as Scourton and Turner have opted out. While Scourton is preparing for the combine, it has been reported that Shemar Turner is dealing with the lingering effects of a stress fracture he sustained during the early parts of fall camp. The senior played with injury throughout the year. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, doctors advised Turner not to put any added pressure on his lege for 3-4 weeks to let the bone heal, leading to his opt-out from the event. Shemar Turner finished his four-year Texas A&M career with 115 tackles, 10 sacks, and three forced fumbles.
