This week several quarterbacks got to make their push to be the presumed "QB3" in this year's draft behind Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders. This week, Dart solidified himself as the quarterback that will come off the board third and may be in the conversation to be selected as the second Quarterback off the board. In the game, Jaxson Dart flashed his arm strength and touch on a deep ball to Jack Bech and showed his rushing ability finding his way into the endzone.

Every Senior Bowl, a Non-FBS Player comes to Mobile, Alabama and sends their draft stock through the roof. This year Grey Zabel made himself a player that NFL teams are enamored with as the 32 teams named Zabel the Practice Player of the Week. Zabel excelled in One on Ones at three different positions making himself a potential top 50 pick.

Tez Johnson

Wide Receiver

Wide Receivers always have the best chance to shine as a ton of the practice involves one on one matchups. Tez Johnson leaves Mobile as one of the biggest winners after shining as a route runner. Johnson's ability to create separation will make him an early selection as team's will look past the fact that he's undersized.

7

Miles Frazier

Offensive Line | LSU

Few players took advantage of this week in Mobile more than LSU offensive lineman Miles Frazier. Frazier dominated his matchups with elite offensive linemen and performed so well teams asked Frazier to kick out to right tackle to see if he could play tackle at the next level. Frazier was named the best Offensive Lineman on the team by his teammates and teams may now consider taking Frazier early on in the draft to try him at tackle.

6

Elijah Arroyo

Tight End

This week was a showcase of how loaded this draft class is at tight end as the tight ends constantly made great plays as blockers and as receivers. Elijah Arroyo was one of the best performers in every practice and he carried it over to the game. Arroyo will be a force in the red zone in the NFL and after a massive week, he's in contention to be the third tight end drafted.

5

Jack Bech

Wide Receiver

If NFL Scouts learned anything this week it is that Jack Bech catches everything thrown his way. All week in practice, Jack Bech made impressive catch after impressive catch while dominating as a blocker. In the actual game, Jack Bech caught the game winner as time expired and reeled in a 50/50 ball from Jaxson Dart. Leaving the Senior Bowl, Jack Bech is garnering a ton of comparisons to Puka Nacua and will be an interesting prospect to watch the rest of the draft cycle.

4

Azareye'h Thomas

Cornerback

In a Draft class that is top heavy at the cornerback position, Azarey'h Thomas did a ton to make himself a player in contention at the back half of the first round this Spring. Thomas has all of the physical gifts of an NFL cornerback and this week he flashed the ability to be a first round pick.

3

Walter Nolen

Defensive Line

While the best of the best athletes were in attendance for the game, the biggest athletic freak was easily a defensive lineman as Walter Nolen flashed every time he was on the field. Coming into the week, Walter Nolen was a projected first round pick, he leaves the week as a player who may be a Top Ten selection. What stands out with Walter Nolen is his first step quickness and how he converts his speed into Power as he looks like one of the elite talents in this years draft.

2

Shemar Stewart

Shemar Stewart came to the Senior Bowl, dominated for two days and left early as a first round draft lock with his showing this week. This week, Shemar Stewart showcased rare power and speed that will have NFL teams chomping at the bit to draft him. In his career, Stewart only has 4.5 sacks but, his raw ability is among the best in the NFL Draft.

Mike Green

Mike Green was the prospect that could get the biggest boost with a massive week at the Senior Bowl as scouts wanted to see if he could match his 17 sack production against some of the best offensive linemen in the Country. This week, Green showed ability setting the edge and he absolutley demolished Oregon tackle Josh Conerly and solidified himself as a first round pick this Spring.
