Who left scouts impressed?

Who left them disappointed?

Here is a quick analysis of some of the players from Wednesday’s practice.

Their official measurements (height, weight, and length) from the event will be listed.

Senior Bowl practices continue tomorrow, Thursday, February 1st with more live coverage of the practice. It starts at 10:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network/ESPNU/ESPN App, and then 1 p.m. ET on NFL Network/ESPN2/ESPN App. (The game is on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET on NFL Network).

Standouts:

Dominick Puni, OL, Kansas: 6’4″ – 323 Pounds – 33 6/8″ Arms – 81 6/8″ Wing

A quick study

Puni has been gaining a lot of attention this week due to his quick transition into center and has excelled today at this position. He has now played tackle, guard, and center. He displayed good balance and hand usage in pass protection while showing high football IQ when diagnosing stunts.

Notable Rep:

Jha’Quan Jackson, WR, Tulane: 5’9″ – 190 Pounds – 30 7/8″ Arms – 74 5/8″ Wing

Consistent competitor

Jackson displayed easy work today as he blew past defenders in both team and 1v1s over and over. He showed excellent speed and attempts to create separation throughout his routes and at the break. His work ethic was on full display.

Notable Rep:

Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame: 6’2″ – 204 Pounds – 32 5/8″ Arms – 77 6/8″ Wing

The lockdown defensive back of Day 2

Hart was on full lockdown display against notable receivers like North Carolina’s Tez Walker. Overall, good physicality and read-and-react ability with quick transitions on routes. One of the most consistent defensive backs so far this week.

Notable Rep:

Jackson Powers-Johnson, IOL, Oregon: 6’3″ – 334 Pounds – 31 1/8″ Arms – 79″ Wing

The only returnee from day one as a standout

He once again took reps at both center and guard. Displayed patience, quick reaction, and great lower-body strength and balance against rushers. His 1v1’s against defensive tackles Michael Hall (Ohio State) and Tyler Davis (Clemson) were notable.

Notable Rep:

Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida: 6’0″ – 193 Pounds – 30 6/8″ Arms – 73 5/8″ Wing

Outstanding all-day

He showcased his fluidity and ability to be a potential jump ball threat with great ball-tracking skills. Consistently created separation, making it easy for him and the quarterback.

Notable Rep:

Under-Performers:

Devontez Walker, WR, North Carolina: 6’1″ – 197 Pounds – 32 6/8″ Arms – 79 2/8″ Wing

Seemed off again today

Walker is unfortunately back on the list for day two. His day resulted in five drops and he once again failed to create separation on his routes. There was a lack of movement off the line of scrimmage and doesn’t seem to be watching the ball all the way through at times.

Ethan Driskell, OT, Marshall: 6’8″ – 312 Pounds – 35 1/8″ Arms – 83 1/8″ Wing

Not as powerful as expected

Driskell had a rougher outcome on day two, getting beat inside multiple times during team and 1v1s. At times, he became too high in his pass sets which resulted in losing power and quickness.

Brenden Rice, WR, USC: 6’2″ – 212 Pounds – 32 5/8″ Arms – 78 3/8″ Wing

Same mistakes as Day 1

Rice (Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice’s son) makes the underperforming list once again on day two. The result was more drops (3), and struggling in the contest again. This USC receiver didn’t show the ability to create any separation, especially against press coverage.

Kalen King, CB, Penn State: 5’11” – 189 Pounds – 30 3/8″ Arms – 74 6/8″ Wing

Lacked physicality at all levels of the route.

He allowed too much separation between him and the receiver especially at the break. UCF receiver Javon Baker exploited his weaknesses during 1v1s.
