Quick Hits from the Senior Bowl

Senior Bowl practices are going on this week in Mobile Alabama. This week is the first chance NFL teams get to really see the top senior prospects. Here are a couple quick hits about some prospects working down there.

Brandon Graham - DE/OLB Michigan
Was on Sirius NFL Radio with Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwin and seems like a great kid. The guys on Movin' the Chains love workout numbers and asked Graham about his 225 bench press. Graham insisted he would not tell, so they started the lower or higher game. 30? "Higher," said Graham. 35? "Higher." 40? If you can do 40 I'll come shake your hand. Graham replies, "Well, come down and shake my hand." Great stuff. From all reports, Graham is a force rushing the passer and has good speed on the outside. He's not big but at 6'1 265, he has great explosion. Look for him to be off the board well before the Browns pick in round 2.

Tony Pike - QB Cincinnati
Pike has not looked very good so far in practice. While his measurables are ideal, he is not spinning the ball well, resulting in wobbling passes that don't always get to their target.

Mike Iupati - G Idaho
This young man is playing really well and has the largest reach of any lineman in Mobile.  (Same) He is looking like a first round prospect as well, and could raise his stock if he is seen as a LT.

Sean Weatherspoon - LB Mizzou
Has been the vocal leader of the North Squad's defense. Apparently he is all over the field and making plays.

Taylor Mays - S USC
Mays has all the measurables to be an impact player in the NFL. In DB drills he has looked really good. He displays good range and is physically overmatching these receivers.

More to come later...

SUPERBOWL!!!!
