The Reese’s Senior Bowl continues and just wrapped up the second day of practices. Here are some players that either increased or decreased their NFL Draft stock during the portion.
Reese’s Senior Bowl Day Two Risers and Fallers
EDGE Mike Green, Marshall
Green has exploded all over social media today after he threw potential first-round tackle, Josh Conerly Jr., on his back during one-on-one drills. He came into the week with impressive measurables, adding over 15 pounds from his pre-season weight. He’s carried that momentum into practice. He’s easily one of the most explosive and high-ceiling players in the class and his stock is only rising. His play this week is every bit of the electric tape he put out at Marshall. A powerful conclusion to his week could easily lead to him being a first-round selection in April.
Potential Team Fit: Arizona Cardinals
WR Jack Bech, TCU
Bech is such a calm mover and was an awful matchup for any corner covering him on Wednesday. He had a few sweet downfield snags paired with some smooth short routes. He excelled during both the team periods and in one-on-ones and just looked more technically sound than the defenders he matched up against.
Potential Team Fit: Las Vegas Raiders
WR Jayden Higgins, Iowa State
Higgins was putting on an absolute show during the one-on-one portion of Wednesday’s practice. He showcased some impressive movement skills for his larger size and proved his worth as more than a big-body deep threat. Some of his reps were straight dominant and he worked all levels of he field effortlessly. Some within NFL Draft media have graced him out as high as the second round, and he’s putting together a strong week in mobile.
Potential Team Fit: Detroit Lions
OL Jalen Travis, Iowa State
Travis was one of the most consistent linemen during the OL/DL drills and manhandled some big-name prospects. The former Princeton recruit and current Cyclone tackle has the size of an NFL tackle and played like one today.
Potential Team Fit: Green Bay Packers
Stock Down
EDGE Landon Jackson, Arkansas
Jackson has arguably struggled the most out of all the defensive players so far this week. He’s constantly been worked off-balance and struggled to generate any pushback. Many view him as a Top-100 selection but he hasn’t given that impression through two Senior Bowl practices. There’s going to have to be some serious improvement in the last few days to keep his stock what it was before the event.
OL Emery Jones Jr., LSU
Jones Jr. had some loud plays here and there but overall failed to establish any sort of consistency. The Tigers’ captain seemed to get moved off his base too much as plays developed and got beat by a few bull rushes in team periods. His first day was filled with ups and downs but his second was a firm negative. A bounce back the last few days would do wonders to solidify him as a Day 2 pick, but his first two practices were far from ideal.
