Talent, QB questions at Senior Bowl
Overall talent level is high in Mobile, but all QB prospects have something to prove
Senior Bowl week begins Monday, and there's no denying this week's NFL draft showcase is the premier college all-star event in terms of talent.
Of the 14 seniors in my latest ranking of the top 32 overall prospects for the 2012 draft, 11 will be in Mobile, Ala., looking to impress NFL talent evaluators. Many other prospects on the rosters carry early-round grades, which will make for plenty of intriguing matchups during practices and give prospects a chance to be measured against some of the top players at their positions.
ESPN Insiders get access to the top prospects, questions facing the quarterbacks, players with something to prove, and those coming in under the radar. Sign up now to get access to all of Insider's NFL draft content! ![]()
