Although Seahawks fans are mostly focussed on a different type of Bowl at the moment, the Senior Bowl is the critical starting point of the draft process. Once again Mobile has attracted the top All-star group, despite the ridiculous modern-day competition it faces from the Shrine Bowl.
There’s already been good news for players like Iowa’s Gennings Dunker, who measured with +34 inch arms. We don’t have a full list of measurements yet.
Some players who were expected to attend from Miami and Indiana are now not slated to compete, including Rueben Bain Jr, Akheem Mesidor, Keionte Scott and Elijah Sarratt.
Here’s a collection of players I would recommend keeping across…
Julian Neal (CB, Arkansas)
Great length and size. Expected him to be leggy at his size but he closes quickly and sticks downfield. Still not top-level speed and high-end speed demons could give him trouble downfield. Competitive when the ball’s in the air. Predominantly used outside but did get snaps in the slot and the box in 2025. Only missed four tackles in his final season for Arkansas. Tremendous run defender — will be a major plus point of his evaluation. Tackles are forceful. Did get away with some early contact in 2025 that could be flagged in the NFL.
Well worth a middle round pick to try and develop.
Daylen Everette (CB, Georgia)
Ideal frame — looks athletic, well sized. Physical corner who seems to like contact and plays with a sparky edge. Former 5-star recruit. Supposedly can run in the 4.3’s. Seems to have long arms that often out-stretch to deflect balls away. Length and physicality used to good effect to disrupt receiver routes. Lots of starting experience for Georgia. Was described as the leader of Georgia’s secondary. Quickness is evident on the way he breaks on the football. Closes ground so quickly. Can deliver a jolting blast to receivers, timing his hits to jar the ball away. Very willing in run support. Speed allows him to be an effective corner blitzer. Plenty of reps where you see him living in the hip-pocket of his receiver. Has a swagger to him that most good cornerbacks have. Doesn’t miss many tackles. Only five interceptions in last three seasons and just one in 2025.
Malik Muhammad (CB, Texas)
Breaks on the ball with quickness. Shows great degree of dynamism to plant and drive to get to receivers in zone. Competitive against Jeremiah Smith — only gave up two catches for 15 yards vs Ohio State. A willing run defender for his size. Showed great anticipation in coverage vs Oklahoma to eye up wayward passed (two picks). Seems to show good awareness in zone and reads the quarterback successfully. Reasonably sized. Played mostly outside in 2025 but took some snaps in the box, slot and free safety. Used to blitz from the slot. Upside TBD but has the qualities needed to start at the next level. A very interesting player.
TJ Parker (EDGE, Clemson)
After a fairly disastrous 2025 season, the former Clemson pass rusher needs to use the Senior Bowl to get things back on track. Once considered a possible first rounder, can he flash those skills in Mobile during 1v1’s?
Zion Young (DE, Missouri)
Lacks speed/twitch. Is not going to win consistently with a bend/straighten. Pass rush repertoire appears limited. High motor player but looks like an early down run-defender as a ceiling. More of a ‘bull in a china shop’ approach to rushing the passer. Would like to see him work inside and attack the outside shoulder of the guard. Tight ends will not be able to match-up to him in the running game. Is most effective creating pressure when he tries to run through, not around, blockers. Was recently arrested on suspicion of DWI/speeding — his coach said it was ‘disappointing’ from a team captain. Feels like a player you can’t draft early but due to motor/power he will have a shot to make it. Just don’t expect any blinding speed rushes at the next level.
Dani Dennis-Sutton (DE, Penn State)
Definitely has something about him and this needs to be a platform to show that despite a mixed final season full of flashes and some quiet tape, that he has the qualities to be a good NFL player. Intrigued to see confirmed measurements.
Tim Keenan (DT, Alabama)
Feels underrated due to the size/playing style (not always the flashiest) but I really liked what I saw on tape and I’m intrigued to see if he stands out during 1v1’s.
Gracen Halton (DT, Oklahoma)
Explosive first step enables him to shoot gaps. Gap discipline flashes consistently and he makes plays within structure. Lines up across the interior. Closing burst to the ball carrier is strong. When he gets his feet moving he’s difficult to slow down once engaged. Slippery through gaps. Undersized — might be less impactful against bigger blockers. Worried he will be a liability vs run at next level, limiting early snap potential. Not the deepest repertoire of moves and he relies on quickness. Could thrive in 1v1’s.
Kyle Louis (LB, Pittsburgh)
Well known for his first-in, last-out approach. Said to be completely committed to his craft. Team captain. Versatile player — used in the box (319 snaps), on the line (105) and slot corner (244). Undersized but electric. Has a knack for big plays in big moments. Explosive blitzer flying to the QB when given a runway. Was really surprised how effective he was starting at the line and creating pressure. 18 pressures in 11 games in 2025 for a player playing all over the field. Despite lack of size, has shown he can play at the line, absorb contact and still make plays. Doesn’t give up on plays, always competing. Downhill ability underrated for his size — willing to fill a gap and make a tackle. Works through traffic with great agility, dodges blocks and shows stop-start qualities. Legit coverage ability when matched up against tight ends. So loose in transition for his size. You see his speed running to the sideline. Could play safety, WILL, SAM, big nickel, maybe MLB. Drake Thomas was 223lbs at his combine and Ernest Jones 230lbs — Seattle can live with his size.
Keylan Rutledge (G, Georgia Tech)
Consistently solid on tape with good zone-blocking grades — 1v1’s will be intriguing for him. Feels like he can really rise and think teams will like him.
Caleb Banks (DT, Florida)
Has the talent to go in the top-20. Enormous size and length (6-6, 325lbs, 35-inch arms). There are not many humans who look like him or move this well at his size. Can play across the line in different positions — nose, 1-tech, 3-tech, 5-tech. Barely played in 2025 due to injury issues so this is big for him. Barges his way into the backfield. Can swipe away blockers hands to keep frame clean and skip into backfield. Throws off blockers with disdain at his best. Can bully mediocre interior linemen in the run game. Will shock interior blockers with his quickness. Effective push-pull move on tape. Lateral agility is astonishing on some reps. Tries a slightly laboured spin move at times. Controls blockers with a straight arm that allows him to plot a course to the QB or play the run. Plays with an upright style at times when he gets tired. Can get lazy and is an occasional waist bender. Sneaky quickness so if you don’t get into his frame quickly he will take advantage. Very capable of running around blocks when gaps are created through stunts. Great swim move to penetrate. Has great quickness when he attacks gaps in the running game. Shocks linemen with a jolting punch. A ball of clay ready to be moulded into a disruptive, brutish force. Uniqueness of his frame and profile should ensure interest early in this draft. Injury concerns will require medical checks though.
Gennings Dunker (T/G, Iowa)
Brilliant zone-blocker who we’ve been talking about for two years. Could play tackle with his 34-inch arms but still has top-end skills to be a great right guard. Testing will determine upside but as long as it’s not awful he has legit top-45 potential.
Beau Stephens (G, Iowa)
Good zone blocker. Sinks hips well to anchor. Adept at getting on the move and reaching up to the second level. Has the brawling mentality you expect from an Iowa lineman. Examples on tape of him turning defenders and finishing his blocks to the turf. Has a willingness to combo block but some technical tweaks needed. Can do a better job angling into the block and not letting opponents attack left shoulder. Would prefer to see better initial punch into chest. Can engage with hands on contact in a more consistent manner.
Taylen Green (QB, Arkansas)
Great size. Runs like a gazelle with long strides chewing up yards quickly. Give him a crease to run and he’s difficult to stop. Running style, frame and athleticism reminiscent of Colin Kaepernick. Same athlete as Kaepernick but technically a better passer. Elusive enough to scramble away from heavy pressure to extend plays. Very capable yet inconsistent passer. Ample evidence of him attacking the middle of the field. Poise from the pocket was shown at times. Has shown he can go through progressions and run pro-concepts. Doesn’t show much evidence of throwing late on key passes. Very creative player only scratching the surface of what he could be. Awful season for Arkansas, led by a horrifying defense, made his life difficult. Did have too many really poor interceptions. Had the third highest number of ‘turnover worthy plays’ (tied with Marcel Reed). Only had 11 ‘big time throws’ in 2025. Showed he can sap, set, throw to the right receiver and fit passes into tight windows. For large parts of the season he led college football for QBR and EPA (tailed off at the end). Ended up #9 for QBR — ahead of Brendan Sorsby, Carson Beck & Dante Moore. Finished #16 for EPA. No way is he ready to come in and take the league by storm but there’s something here. Well worth drafting to develop.
Garrett Nussmeier (QB, LSU)
Gunslinger playing style. Made more NFL level throws in 2024 than any other QB I scouted. Pocket footwork, mobility, ability to throw on the run are clear. Excellent technical skills when he’s in top form. Has natural throwing talent. Only having 8 3/4 inch hands is a problem. Has had runs where he consistently throws receivers open. Completes big 3rd down plays. Doesn’t have a super high ceiling but there’s potential here. Execution within structure is impressive. Has ability to throw with anticipation. Clear evidence of comfort going through progressions. Moves his feet well to avoid pressure and create throwing lanes. Surprising elusiveness to extend plays. Did make some ‘wow’ throws in college but also had way too many ‘WTF’ throws and bad turnovers. Felt like he was trying too hard in 2025 to make up for a lousy roster. Had surprisingly bad protection in 2024 and 2025 for a LSU offense. Weapons massively limited in 2025 — again a surprise for LSU. Knee injury an issue throughout 2025 season. Mind became scrambled as 2025 went on and started forcing throws. Decision making on some plays is impossible to fathom. Was seen by some as QB1 before difficult 2025 season.
Mike Washington Jr (RB, Arkansas)
Shows great burst and decisiveness to shoot through openings. Accelerates well for a 220lbs back. Changes direction well and finishes runs. Has a gliding quality to his running style you don’t often see on a physical back like this. Collected yards after contact during best spell of 2025. Impact limited by how often Arkansas had to play from behind. Dodges and weaves through tackles. Doesn’t have game-changing long-speed. Capable of making defenders miss in space. Reminds me of Knile Davis.
Nick Singleton (RB, Penn State)
Outstanding physical talent who collapsed in 2025 and lost reps to his team-mate. Massive potential but needs to recapture his stock and explain what happened in his final college season. Ideal combo of size, speed and explosive traits. Could provide a bargain if he can’t completely repair lost stock.
Vinny Anthony (WR, Wisconsin)
Looks bigger than he is. Has enough speed to go by defenders and runs with aggression. Let down by a terrible QB situation at Wisconsin in 2025. Able to run over the middle attacking soft spots in zone, settling down to provide an open target. Can be used on sweeps, end-arounds. Had a kick-return touchdown against Alabama. Evidence of completing difficult grabs and sound ball-tracking. High-cut but appears to have power in his legs. Did see some crisp routes on tape. Definitely feels like a role as a WR3 is within his capabilities. Evidence of dragging toes (both feet) to make sideline completions. Can make defenders miss with the ball in his hands. Intriguing player.
Harrison Wallace (WR, Ole Miss)
Good size presenting a nice target for the QB. Goes up to get the football and catches away from his body. Capable of high-pointing difficult grabs. Good, consistent hands. Dominated against Georgia in the playoffs (nine catches, 156 yards, touchdown). Only had three drops in 2025. Silky smooth routes challenge receivers. Doesn’t have lightning quickness but his route-running and gliding style get him open. Subtle separation thanks to his stylish work on routes. Doesn’t need to be wide open to make plays — just throw it to him. Hesitation move tricks cornerbacks and he has a clinical stop-start. Makes catches in heavy traffic when throws go into tight windows (this translates). Just looks the part. Upside is to be determined but he’s a player with plenty of talent and a chance to make it. In an era where non-elite speed/size receivers are excelling — why can’t Harrison Wallace?
