2020 NFL Draft prospects with most to show at Senior Bowl

Mac Jones, QB, Alabama

Jones’ lone season as a starter at Alabama was prolific sufficient to warrant an SN projection as a first-round choice. However many pundits have questioned aloud whether or not his unimaginable season was extra the results of his supporting forged — which incorporates Smith, Harris and a Joe Moore Award-winning offensive line — and the play-calling brilliance of offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian. Jones can present as soon as and for all his passing acuity is not owed totally to exterior elements.

Kyle Trask, QB, Florida

Like Jones, Trask loved an unimaginable season in 2020. However he threw 5 interceptions over his final three video games, together with a number of turnovers towards LSU and Oklahoma within the Sugar Bowl. The widespread think about these two video games is that he performed with out a number of of his offensive playmakers, together with receiver Kadarius Toney and Mackey Award-winning tight finish Kyle Pitts. A very good week of observe can erase doubts these subpar video games could have created.

Jamie Newman, QB, Wake Forest

Newman made waves when he transferred to Georgia after his 2019 season with the Demon Deacons, during which the 6-4, 230-pound twin menace threw for two,800-plus yards and 26 touchdowns whereas working for greater than 500 yards and 6 extra scores. He opted out of the season as a result of COVID-19 pandemic earlier than he might play, nevertheless. Nobody will fault him — nor ought to they — for taking his security and future into his palms, and every week of fine observe and interviews will cement him among the many high second-tier quarterbacks of the draft.

Nico Collins, WR, Michigan

Collins is a big-bodied receiver at 6-4, 215 kilos, however is yet one more pass-catcher from Michigan whose stats do not recommend a prolific school profession. Collins, who opted out of the 2020 season as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, has a profession stat line of 78 catches, 1,388 yards and 13 touchdowns. He could make a giant bounce up draft boards on the Senior Bowl, in lieu of a closing season in 2020.

Trey Smith, OG, Tennessee

Smith — all 6-6, 330 kilos of him — has proven NFL-caliber traits throughout his three years at Tennessee. Groups could also be cautious of choosing him with a excessive draft choose, nevertheless, as a result of reality he was identified with blood clots in 2018. He performed seven video games that season earlier than getting shut down to handle the clots. He performed two full seasons in 2019 and ’20 with no points. If Smith can dominate in Cellular, it is likely to be sufficient to persuade a crew to take an opportunity on him.

Tarron Jackson, DL, Coastal Carolina

Jackson loved a powerful profession for the Chanticleers, ending with double-digit tackles for loss in every of the final three seasons and 18 mixed sacks over his closing two years. Now the 6-2, 260-pound pass-rushing specialist can use the Senior Bowl as a stage to indicate he can compete with a number of the finest competitors the school sport has to supply.

Kylin Hill, RB, Mississippi State

Hill, the SEC’s high returning again from the 2019 season, was anticipated to indicate off his versatility in first-year coach Mike Leach’s Air Raid offense. As a substitute, the senior again performed in solely three video games earlier than opting out; he rushed 15 instances for 57 yards and caught 23 passes for 237 yards and a rating for the 1-2 Bulldogs. How that affected his draft inventory stays to be seen, however he might have used an all-around season to show his price at a place that continues to lose worth within the NFL. He can do this in Cellular.

Liam Eichenberg, OL, Notre Dame

Eichenberg’s was an excellent profession for the Preventing Irish, who’ve a famous historical past of manufacturing top-flight offensive line expertise. Eichenberg — listed at 6-6, 302 kilos — is a large candidate, in each sense of the phrase, to maintain that manufacturing facility line going. He is essentially sound and performed towards elite expertise, however was sometimes beat proficient gamers resembling Clemson defensive sort out Bryan Bresee and Alabama linebacker Will Anderson. Some draft retailers already take into account Eichenberg a plug-and-play candidate on the NFL, but when he can produce glorious leads to move safety in Cellular, it might be sufficient to make sure he is a first-round choose.
