2021 Reese's Senior Bowl

I see a cross of Fred Warner and Myles Jack to his game.

Easy there tiger. He's nowhere near their level of tackling accuracy.

Who is this year's Terry McLaurin or Antonio Gibson? The prospects who are being underrated right now, but will be "risers" and more well known after the Senior Bowl?

There are a number of candidates for this category so I will give you a handful of my favorite Senior Bowl prospects who aren't talked about nearly enough right now, but I expect that to change very soon.

Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington: The top senior defensive tackle in the 2021 NFL Draft, Onwuzurike plays with a relentless motor and nonstop violence. Out of position as a nose tackle in Washington's odd front, he is a prototypical three-technique and blockers are going to struggle to handle his quickness and effort during one-on-ones.

D'Wayne Eskridge, WR, Western Michigan: A former state champion sprinter in high school, Eskridge would be talked about as a top-50 draft pick if he played at Alabama or Ohio State. With his ability to turn small plays into big plays, he is the definition of a playmaker due to his explosive speed and ability to mix his speeds as naturally as you or I breathe.

Aaron Robinson, CB, UCF: An Alabama transfer, Robinson had 20 passes defended in 22 games the past two seasons. He is quick-footed with the turn-and-run skills to stay in phase and make plays downfield. His toughness, athleticism and inside/outside versatility is an attractive combination that will have teams considering him in the top 50 picks.

Richie Grant, DS, UCF: Robinson isn't the only UCF defensive back who is being underrated. Grant has outstanding speed to run the alley or play both sidelines in coverage. His natural ball skills and toughness are starter-level traits, which is why he should be one of the first five safeties drafted in April.

Jabril Cox, LB, LSU: The NFL is looking for linebackers who can stay on the field in any situation, and Cox qualifies due to his athleticism and awareness. He has the upper-body strength to detach from blocks and the lower-body movements to hold up in space when asked to drop in coverage. Cox could be a riser this week if he hangs with pass-catchers during team drills.

Ifeatu Melifonwu, CB, Syracuse: The Younger brother of Obi, Melifonwu came in at No. 57 overall on my top 100 draft board as he continues to rise due to his freaky skills. At 6-3 and 215 pounds, he has the size and speed to match up with different types of receivers and shut them down. His draft tag is full of helium.

Josh Palmer, WR, Tennessee: Despite being a three-year starter, Palmer never reached 500 yards receiving in a season for the Volunteers, but the inconsistent passing attack in Knoxville is the main culprit, not his talent. Watch Palmer versus Patrick Surtain to get a better idea of his vertical-tracking skills. Don't be surprised if he is a "riser" now that he is free of the Tennessee offense.

^^ I like Richie Grant and Jabril Cox a lot. I think Jabril will be gone by the end of the 2nd, but Grant could be there for us in the 3rd or even the 4th.

Eskridge and Richie Grant for me from that list.

Eskridge one of 3 day 3 WRs I really want.

Not a fan. Too hard of a name to spell. Pass.

I think my favorite moment in the draft would be if Lance or even fields or Wilson available and they take Jones.

Please football gods let that happen.
