Senior Bowl Full of Top Prospects

The Senior Bowl kicks off from Mobile, Alabama in a little less than 30 minutes (broadcast live on NFL Network). This is the premier game for scouting senior prospects and has important ramifications on the upcoming NFL draft. Last year, a little more than one-third of the picks in the first round played in the Senior Bowl.

I am looking forward to seeing how Tim Tebow does against the toughest competition he has ever faced. Tebow will be the most scrutinized player to enter the NFL this year and perhaps of all time. Like him or not, Tebow is a consummate competitor and leader. He exudes confidence and strength and makes the players around him better. Others will argue the players around him and Urban Meyer's system at Florida made him better. Either way, I like his intangibles and his base skill set. I think if he gets in the right system and works on his mechanics, he can be a successful NFL QB.

I will also be paying close attention to anyone and everyone on defense, especially pass rushers and defensive backs.

Refresh periodically for updates and thoughts on players that stand out to me.
