As the NFL Draft Process starts to kick off, the Pre-Draft Showcases take center stage as scouts, coaches, and General Managers gather in Mobile, Alabama to watch most of the top seniors in College Football along with some underclassmen in the Reese's Senior Bowl.
The event allows College Seniors to showcase their abilities in front of the vast majority of the NFL with the hopes of improving their draft stock. After nearly every NFL Draft, General Managers talk about falling in love with a player at the Senior Bowl resulting in the team selecting said player.
The Senior Bowl invited Six LSU Tigers to the week's events which is the most in the history of the program.

Edge Rusher Sai'Vion Jones is the only player from LSU's defense participating in the Senior Bowl. Jones will get to face off against some of the best offensive tackles in the draft as he looks to improve his draft stock. Jones is currently projected as a Day 3 draft pick so a strong showing will only increase his stock.
All eyes will be on LSU's offensive linemen even as Will Campbell won't be attending the Senior Bowl. The Tigers Senior Guard pairing of Garrett Dellinger and Miles Frazier are both participating as is Junior Right Tackle Emery Jones Jr. Dellinger and Frazier are both projected as Day 3 picks but, could work their way into the third round with solid showings. It'll be interesting to see if Frazier takes any reps at right tackle which is where he played in the Texas Bowl.
Emery Jones will have a great chance to show teams he belongs at right tackle rather than playing guard which is a popular topic among NFL Draft Analysts.
Mason Taylor is another Junior that will be participating in this year's Senior Bowl. As things currently stand, Mason Taylor is expected to be a Day Two pick but, a solid showing could boost him into a potential first round pick.
Finally, Wide Receiver Kyren Lacy was invited to the Senior Bowl and was going to participate but, his current situation may complicate things.
