Top 10: Best Performers From The Senior Bowl?
Coming out of three practices and the game itself in Mobile, Ala., here are the top 10 performers from the Senior Bowl, and where they figure to fall in the draft order.
10. Terrell Hanks, LB, New Mexico State
After three solid days of practice, Hanks finished with eight total tackles in the game. He looks like a solid option as a Day 3 draft pick.
*9. Hunter Renfrow, WR, Clemson *Renfrow has garnered a ton of attention for his heroics from the slot at Clemson, and he carried that over here with five catches for 63 yards during the Senior Bowl. His measurable will likely limit him to Day 3 of the draft, but the production is outstanding.
*8. Dalton Risner, OT, Kansas State *Risner was arguably the best offensive linemen on the field last week, showing off a mean streak to go with his physical play style. He had the type of performance that could rocket him up draft boards and into the early rounds of the draft.
*7. Drew Lock, QB, Missouri *The best of the bunch of an intriguing group of senior quarterbacks. Lock was solid all week at practice, and he completed 9-of-14 balls for 57 yards during the game. He might not be the first quarterback drafted, but he put himself into the conversation.
*6. Charles Omenihu, DE, Texas *Omenihu began impressing right from the weigh-in, with his eye-popping 73-inch wingspan. He carried that over into practices and then the game, racking up three tackles, a sack and two tackles for loss. Omenihu was considered a Day 3 prospect heading into the week. It'll be interesting to see if his performance bumps his stock.
*5. Terry McLaurin, WR, Ohio State *Another high-riser. McLaurin caught attention with his route-running during practice, and he followed that up with four catches for 53 yards during the game – not to mention a 19-yard carry. McLaurin is still likely a Day 3 prospect, but an impressive 40 time at the NFL Combine could boost his stock even further.
*4. Khalen Saunders, DT, Western Illinois *One of the most impressive "small school guys" in Mobile last week. Saunders caught national attention with his acrobatics after one of the practices, but his on-field production was nice, as well, as he recorded three tackles and a sack during the game.
3. Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
Ya-Sin was billed as the best corner at this year's game, and he didn't do anything to change that notion. He held his own against all the receivers he faced during the week and seemed to solidify himself as a top 50-type of draft pick.
2. Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
Samuel might have been the biggest winner of the entire week, and that was without a memorable game. He only caught one pass during the Senior Bowl itself, but he dominated all comers over the course of three practices. It'd be surprising if he fell further than the second, or perhaps the third round of the draft.
*1. Nasir Adderley, S, Delaware *He might have played at the FCS level, but Adderley was arguably the best prospect on the field all week. His instincts are fantastic, as evidenced by his five tackles and interception in the game. Adderley may have played his way into first-round consideration.
