    Senior Bowl 2023: 5 To Watch

    Overview:
    The Reese’s Senior Bowl is a week long post season showcase for prospective NFL players leaving college and entering the NFL draft. The festivities culminate in an all star game played on Saturday. Located in Mobile, Alabama, this game has meant the world to me since I could remember. As an Alabama gulf coast native myself, I was always fortunate to attend this amazing event & the festivities during the week numerous times. One of my fondest memories as a child was watching my uncle, Chris Samuels, play in the game himself. It is one of the biggest opportunities in the pre draft process.
    That being said, the Senior Bowl is all about business for the prospects & teams. All 32 NFL teams will be represented in some capacity. This week is an opportunity to not only compete against some of the best college prospects in the county, but have personal meeting time with teams as well. Just as much will happen behind the scenes as it will on the practice/game field. In short, this week can tremendously hurt or help your draft stock. Here are five guys to watch at the 2023 Senior Bowl.
    5 To Watch
    Maryland T Jaelyn Duncan 6’6 305:
    Duncan is already a consensus top 60 pick. However, i believe he has as much to gain as anyone this week in Mobile. Teams are beginning to delve into the tape more and i believe that will only help his stock. His freakish athletic ability is something you don’t see often at the offensive line position. With an impressive week in on field drills and great meetings off of it, he can jump into 1st round territory.
    Georgia DB Chris Smith 5’11 195:
    Chris Smith is not only one of my favorite DB’s, but one of my favorite players of this entire draft. The only real concerns here are size and speed. The tape is undeniable. A lot of those questions will be answered at the combine/pro day. Regardless, i predict Smith will turn heads at Senior Bowl practices and especially shine in the interview process. Keep an eye out for this ball player.
    Auburn EDGE Derick Hall 6’3 255:
    Derick Hall will continue to rise as this pre draft process goes on. This week at the Senior Bowl will spearhead that ascent. 1 on 1’s will be a huge showcase for Hall and a huge opportunity to show off some extra tools along with that patented speed to power pass rush. The stage is set for Hall.
    Michigan WR Ronnie Bell 6’0 190:
    Bell is an interesting prospect. He was the most productive receiver on one of the best and most notable teams in all of college football. Yet, he still seems to go under the radar when discussing this wide out class. I think that starts to change with a huge week at the Senior Bowl. Look out for Bell in 1 on 1’s and pass skelly drills.
    Cody Mauch T NDSU 6’6 300:
    Mauch is mocked fairly high, but he has as much to gain (& lose) as any top prospect. A good week can catapult him firmly onto the first 25-40 picks. A week where he struggles against some top end talent can raise small school concerns. I believe in his ability. As a former FCS prospect myself, I full well understand how important stages like this are and look for him to solidify himself amongst the best.
