2018 Senior Bowl: 5 players to watch

The Reese’s Senior Bowl rosters are set. These are five players who you should watch.

Every year hundreds of scouts, and player personnel travel to Mobile, AL in hopes of looking at the best senior prospects in the collegiate game. The Reese’s Senior Bowl is the nation’s top all-star game. On Saturday, January 28, the North and South teams will take the field looking to impress the NFL decision makers.

The Senior Bowl is a great chance for players to make their mark on the draft community. Small school guys get the chance to overcome the knock that they dominated lesser competition. Players from big schools can increase their draft stock and push themselves up draft boards.

This is also one of the first time some players will be introduced to the nation. The Senior Bowl is watched by NFL fans in hopes of seeing their team’s next star on display.

A year ago the rosters featured smaller school players like Hassan Reddick, Cooper Kupp, Kareem Hunt, Taywan Taylor, and Gerald Everett. Those names are well known among San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs fans. A year ago they were battling in Mobile to see the field.

All in all there were four first round picks (five if you include Corey Davis who skipped the game due to injury but was invited) from the 2017 Senior Bowl. Many more were selected in the later rounds including all four of the previously mentioned names.

This year’s roster is loaded with talent again. The biggest names on the rosters, unlike last year, are the quarterbacks. That is where this list will kick off.
