2017 Senior Bowl: 5 Players who hurt stock

Chris Wormley

Defensive Tackle, Michigan Wolverines

Let’s be real. There were WAY too many Michigan Wolverines at the 2017 Senior Bowl. Yes, Jim Harbaugh had a senior-led team that won some games this year, but outside of linebacker Ben Gedeon and cornerback Jourdan Lewis, it was a lackluster showing by Michigan.

Nobody ruined their draft stock this weekend more than Wolverines defensive tackle Chris Wormley. CBS had him as the No. 5 defensive tackle with a second round grade. He left Mobile as a guy that might not even get drafted.

It became painfully obvious that he was a tweener in the worst kind of way: too small to play nose tackle and too slow to play the 5-technique as a 3-4 defensive end. In one-on-ones with the North offensive linemen in three days of practice, he may not have won a rep. Wormley didn’t do much of anything in the Senior Bowl itself either.

It’s almost as if he got the invite because of the team he played for and who his coach was. For Wormley to have any success at the next level, it is paramount he goes to a 4-3 team that has tremendous line depth already. For whatever reason, whatever made him noteworthy in Ann Arbor did not translate in Mobile whatsoever.
