Senior Bowl week often generates viral moments during practice sessions, yet these moments may not entirely capture the scope of a player's abilities. An individual's performance on a rep-by-rep basis plays a crucial role in shaping their overall evaluation. For instance, Mike Green from Marshall garnered significant attention for a notably physical rep during the one-on-one sessions on Wednesday. However, this single play should not solely define Green's status as a prospect. It is more fitting to view it as a highlight for a prospect who has demonstrated consistent improvement throughout the 2024 campaign, where he led the FBS with an impressive 17 sacks.

Offensive linemen frequently operate in relative anonymity unless they face significant setbacks; however, this year's group of talent must not be overlooked. Players like Grey Zabel from North Dakota State, Jackson Slater from Sacramento State, and Clay Webb from Jacksonville State have displayed strong and consistent performances over the initial two days of practice. Although these prospects do not hail from well-known programs, their consistent success against tougher competition is generating positive interest regarding their potential. Notably, Zabel is beginning to enter the conversation for first-round consideration thanks to his strong showings.

The quarterback group has not been exceptional overall, but Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss has shown marked improvement after a lackluster first day. He executed multiple well-placed throws, showcasing better decision-making and confidence. Conversely, Jalen Milroe from Alabama continues to face challenges in maintaining consistency, struggling with footwork and information processing at times despite flashes of talent. In the running back department, Devin Neal of Kansas has demonstrated decisiveness and vision during practice, while Damien Martinez of Miami exhibited agility for a larger back, showcasing versatility.

The wide receiver group is beginning to establish itself as well. Jayden Higgins from Iowa State rebounded strongly after a difficult first practice, leveraging effective footwork and route-stacking techniques. His teammate, Jaylin Noel, also impressed with a highlight grab in tight coverage. Tez Johnson from Oregon maintained his status as a dominant slot receiver, consistently separating from defenders with his quickness. Tight ends like Jake Briningstool from Clemson have also excelled, demonstrating strong hands and reliability throughout various drills.

As for the edge defenders, Mike Green from Marshall and Shemar Stewart from Texas A&M have solidified their positions as rising prospects with continued strong showings. Green's ability to bull-rush top offensive tackle prospects has been notable, while Stewart's performance in both pass-rushing and run defense is drawing attention. The linebacker group has similarly produced standout performances, as athletes like Demetrius Knight II from South Carolina and Cody Lindenberg from Minnesota made impactful plays during full-team drills.

In terms of defensive backs, not all top prospects are participating in Mobile, but several names have begun to establish themselves. Quincy Riley from Louisville has shown consistent coverage skills, while Darien Porter from Iowa State has impressed with his size and speed. Meanwhile, the safety position has seen notable performances from Maxen Hook of Toledo and Hunter Wohler from Wisconsin, though both have demonstrated limitations in one-on-one coverage situations. As the week progresses, the performances of these individuals will continue to shape their draft stock.
