Senior Bowl week

Practice for the Senior Bowl starts today. This is a big game for many players. It brings all the nations best seniors together to compete. Many players from smaller schools get the chance to shine against top talent. Vladimir Ducasse from the University of Massachusetts is one of those prospects. Ducasse is a massive left tackle at 6' 5'' 330 pounds. With a good Senior Bowl and combine he could find himself going late in the first round. Other smaller school guys include Joique Bell from Wayne State. Bell was the division II player of the year. He rushed for 2,084 yards and 29 touchdowns. He leaves Wayne state with 100 scores and 8,055 all purpose yards. Andre Roberts from the Citadel is a Wide receiver who also has kick return skills. Roberts finishes his career at Citadel with 285 receptions and 3,743 yards receiving. It's not just the small school guys who have something to prove. Names like Tim Tebow and George Selvie have a lot of pressure to perform this week. Tebow is one of the greatest college quarterbacks in history. But many scouts and media don't think he has the mechanics to make it in the NFL. A year ago the same questions surrounded Pat White. He landed in the second round because he had a tremendous week passing the ball during senior bowl practices and in the game. Selvie is a defensive end from South Florida. Before last season he was considered a first round pick. After two sub par season's Selvie has found himself as a mid to late round prospect. He could move up boards with a good showing this week and at the combine. I watched the East - West game this past weekend. Jamar Wall out of Texas Tech really impressed me. He showed great coverage ability as a corner. He could find himself as the second corner off the boards. Player's like Wall will take advantage of their opportunities and make some money for themselves while other will lose it.
