While we can’t be at both the Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl, we’ll still keep you up to date with the most important information from the week’s practices. Our friends at Draft Guys are providing excellent coverage of the practices, and we’ll bring you highlights of their daily reports.

East Practice

Daryll Clark (Penn State) has to work on his footwork when dropping back to pass. His feet are off when he has to play fake, and it messes up his rhythm when throwing. I do like his natural throwing motion and high release point. He consistently releases the football at the same spot on nearly every throw. Like yesterday, most of his passes came out hot and low, so they were away from defenders. Andre Anderson (Tulane) looked better today than he did yesterday. I like the patience he showed in waiting for his blocks to develop Keep Reading…

East Practice

John Skelton (Fordham) Skelton has the prototypical size for an NFL QB that scouts just love. However, he is a project and showed why early and often today at practice. First the good—I liked the way that he was listening intently to everything the coaching staff was telling him. He seems like a very coachable kid as he would also listen to the playcall in the huddle even when he wasn’t taking the snap. Skelton set up in the pocket nicely, and has great field vision because of his size. Now for the bad—his delivery was too Keep Reading…

In just over a week, the best senior draft prospects in the country will gather in Mobile, Alabama to participate in the 2010 Under Armour Senior Bowl. The Senior Bowl is regarded as the official start to the draft season and representatives of all thirty-two NFL teams will be present to see the talent on display. While some NFL teams value the Senior Bowl more than others, it is no doubt that the majority of the players invited to this game will be putting on NFL uniforms a few months later.

This year’s Senior Bowl class might be the best in recent years, mostly due to the defensive line and pass rushers that will participate. The 2010 NFL Draft class is deep with talent that knows how to rush the quarterback and control the line of scrimmage and those of us who are lucky enough to attend Senior Bowl Keep Reading…

Every year in January, draft season officially kicks off with the start of the college all-star games. The first of the two major all-star games is the East-West Shrine game. While the premier talent usually plays at the Under Armour Senior Bowl, the Shrine Game still has a lot to offer.

This season, there are a few notable players on the Shrine Game rosters that didn’t receive invitations to the Senior Bowl, which is leaving some scratching their heads. The most notable of these players is Ole Miss defensive end Greg Hardy. Coming into the season, Hardy was highly regarded as the top senior defensive end in the nation. With a season ending injury, he plummeted down draft boards. Hardy certainly has the talent to hold his own amoung the best in the country, but he’ll have to settle for the Shrine Game at first. If he takes advantage Keep Reading…
