He's been a winner in all three days of @seniorbowl practice — Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) January 30, 2025 Miami TE Elijah Arroyo is one the 2025 #SeniorBowl's biggest risers The exclamation mark to his final practice session was a leaping TD catch in the back of the end zone Arroyo celebrated by punting the ball into orbit, perhaps symbolizing his stock 🚀 — Thor Nystrom (@thorku) January 30, 2025 Yeah, Harold Fannin Jr. is ELITE 🔥 One handed grab this morning at the #SeniorBowl practice 😮💨 (🎥 via @FantasyPts) — SleeperCFB (@SleeperCFB) January 30, 2025 Kansas RB Devin Neal continues to impress on Day 3 of the #SeniorBowl — Thor Nystrom (@thorku) January 30, 2025 Aireontae Ersery STONEWALLED several of the top edge rushers at the Senior Bowl 👀 His hand placement and power was evident in reps against Mike Green, Landon Jackson, David Walker, and others. Also a good mover at 6'5, 339lbs. He made a strong case for OT1 in the 2025 Draft ♨️ — NFL Draft Files (@NFL_DF) January 30, 2025 I really like Sacramento State iOL Jackson Slater. Scouts wanted to see the FCS talent step up vs. the competition at @seniorbowl.

Had a nice run fill in team drills as well. Good player — Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) January 30, 2025 Syracuse defender Justin Barron is a former WR and DB turned Linebacker for the Senior Bowl, and here he is showing off his natural coverage feel against Woody Marks. I like what I'm seeing — Daniel Harms🏈 (@InHarmsWay19) January 30, 2025 Femi Oladejo continues to be among the most intriguing talents at the @seniorbowl. A former off-ball LB, a midseason move to EDGE was in his best interest. Long, speedy rusher who's still scratching the surface of his pass-rushing — Justin M (@JustinM_NFL) January 30, 2025 Every Mac McWilliams 1-on-1 from the Senior Bowl – I gotta watch this dude's tape he was the best CB in Mobile.

Colts 2025 NFL draft: Highlights from Day 1 of the Senior Bowl
The first day of Senior Bowl practices are in the books, an even that has played an important role in the Indianapolis Colts' pre-draft process under GM Chris Ballard. The Senior Bowl is an All-Star showcase event for many of the top draft prospects and also provides an opportunity for smaller school players or really any prospect to get exposure and give their draft stock a bump with a strong showing. General managers and scouts from all 32 teams attend the event. Oftentimes, it is at the Senior Bowl when many talent evaluators are getting to see these prospects up close on the practice for the first time while also having the opportunity to interact with them off of it. Between 2017 and 2023, 26 of the Colts 67 draft picks during that span participated in the Senior Bowl. In last year's draft, three of Ballard's selections were a part of this event. For a position by position look at the players participating in this year's Senior Bowl along with the Colts need at each position this offseason, follow the links below: Quarterbacks Linebackers Running backs Tight ends Wide receivers Cornerbacks and Safeties Offensive line Defensive line Now, on to some of the highlights from Day 1: Couldn't have been more impressed with @NDSUfootball OL Grey Zabel in the @seniorbowl 1-on-1s. Here are three good reps from him at three different positions (C, LG, RG) Strong case for IOL1 in this draft, and a top 50 pick — Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) January 28, 2025 Beautiful catch from @TCUFootball WR Jack Bech to climb the ladder and come down with this one Catch of the day at @seniorbowl — Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) January 28, 2025 It's taken me all of 15 minutes to decide Xavier Restrepo is my favorite (and possibly the best) WR out here today. #SeniorBowl — Jeff Nowak (@Jeff_Nowak) January 28, 2025 Here is every one-on-one rep for Ole Miss DT Walter Nolen during Day 1 of the Senior Bowl: — Marcus Mosher (@Marcus_Mosher) January 28, 2025 Brashard Smith was super smooth in the receiving drills at #SeniorBowl.

Shrine Bowl Day 2 Notes and Winners
Day two of practices at the Shrine Bowl went down Sunday at the University of North Texas. It was another big day for some of the more intriguing prospects in this group. Here's a rundown of some notes from those in attendance Sunday. It can be tough to standout as a RB with no full tackling during all-star practices, but this was exactly what you wan to see from @GamecockFB RB Rocket Sanders 6-ft, 224 lbs. we know he can run behind the pads, but here he showed nice wiggle to cut back inside and up the field — Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) January 26, 2025 Another day, another inside spin win from @HokiesFB Antwaun Powell-Ryland Easy to see why it's a go-to of his. If OTs take their weight off their inside foot, he'll make them pay — Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) January 26, 2025 West Team has a really good stable of RBs, as they work on pass pro technique — Emory Hunt (@FBallGameplan) January 26, 2025 Some thoughts from EW Shrine practices this morning: – No surprise, Kyle McCord the best of the QB group, but Cam Miller had some good moments too. – Cobee Bryant is rail thin (171 lbs), but he made several plays on the ball in 1v1. He and Nohl Williams are the top-2 CBs here… — Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) January 25, 2025 #Kansas CB Cobee Bryant has been the best player at the @ShrineBowl through two days. Had an interception and multiple pass breakups today. Also was chirping to the receivers in lots of drills throughout practice. Very confident player. — Jordan Reid (@Jordan_Reid) January 26, 2025 • Jordan Phillips, iDL, Maryland • Alijah Huzzie, Nickel CB, North Carolina • Elijah Roberts, EDGE, SMU • La'Johntay Wester, WR, Colorado Four prospects on the West roster that have really stood out through two days of practices at the @ShrineBowl. — Jordan Reid (@Jordan_Reid) January 26, 2025
