Link to storyTexas Tech WR Reggie Virgil was one of the most impressive receivers at the Senior Bowl this week, according to NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah.
Link to storyStanford TE Sam Roush is the 'best pure drive blocker' at the position in the 2026 NFL Draft, according to Lance Zierlein of NFL.com.
| Footballguys view: Roush is a traditional "Y" tight end who can be counted on as a blocker and as a receiver. He's a mid-round pick with high football intelligence and the ability to contribute right away because of his blocking ability. While Roush is a good route-runner, he may get typecast into being primarily a blocker at the pro level. If that happens, it would clearly limit his fantasy value. |
Houston TE Tanner Koziol was 'the stud tight end' for the National Team during Senior Bowl practices, according to Justin Melo of The Draft Network.
| Footballguys view: Koziol certainly is a stud who can use his size and receiving ability to be a threat all over the field - and especially in the red zone. At 6-feet, 7-inches Koziol dominates 'above the rim' on the football field. He set a school record with 94 catches in 2024 at Ball State. Then, in 2025 with Houston, he led the team in catches (74) proving himself against tougher competition. With a standout performance at the Senior Bowl, Koziol could rise up draft boards. We believe he'll be a mid-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft. |
Louisville WR Caullin Lacy was an 'electric route runner' during Senior Bowl practices, according to Alan Saunders of Steelers Now.
| Footballguys view: Lacy knows how to cut a rug and get open against off coverage. His size and skill set projects him as a slot receiver at the pro level. Lacy's run-after-the-catch ability means he can take short passes and turn them into long gains. He also can contribute as a dangerous return man in the NFL. Lacy will need to learn the full route tree and prove himself against press coverage to play up to his full potential. He's seen as a Day 3 pick with upside. |
Cincinnati WR Cyrus Allen 'wreaked havoc' on the defensive backs during Senior Bowl practices and made several contested catches, according to Alan Saunders of Steelers Now.
| Footballguys view: Scouts know that Allen can 'churn and burn' on the football field. He's got blazing speed and is a big-play threat anytime he runs a route. Allen has a nose for the end zone as evidenced by his Big-12 leading 13 receiving touchdowns in 2025. He's got to become a more natural hands-catcher (too many body catches on film for our liking) and clean up his concentration drops. Allen is projected a Day 3 pick with upside. |
LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier's consistency stood out during Senior Bowl practices, according to Alan Saunders of Steelers Now.
| Footballguys view: It's a great week of work at the Senior Bowl for a quarterback who was once thought of as a first-round lock. Now, after an injury-plagued and inconsistent 2025 season we should see Nussmeier as a mid-round pick. Nussmeier is known as a smart quarterback who tends to go a bit too much into 'gunslinger' mode when under duress. With his performance at the Senior Bowl, Nussmeier might move into the late second or early third round. |
Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson 'stood out for his inconsistency' during Senior Bowl practices, according to Alan Saunders of Steelers Now, and Saunders estimates that 20% of Robertson's attempts resulted in 'uncatchable passes.'
Link to storyIowa OL Gennings Dunker, who played right tackle in college, took snaps at guard during Senior Bowl practices and said he is willing to move to guard in the NFL.

Link to storyClemson DE T.J. Parker was 'the overall winner' of the Senior Bowl practice sessions, according to ESPN's Matt Miller, and Miller believes Parker established himself as a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Link to storyArkansas RB Mike Washington Jr. continued impressing at Senior Bowl practices Wednesday, Jan. 28. He had a few of those runs where he exhibited quick, downhill cuts that sprung long gains on outside runs. He also made explosive plays as a pass catcher in one-on-one drills.
| Footballguys view: Washington is a big back (228 pounds) and is a bell-cow back who can take on a large workload. In addition to size and contact balance, Washington can be relied on as a receiver out of the backfield. Early projections have Washington going off the board in the mid-rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. |
Baylor WR Josh Cameron has impressed at the Senior Bowl with his size and hands. He fought through cornerbacks looking to impede his route and overpowered them to the spot for the catch. He was able to outwork tight man coverage for 50/50 balls that typically turn into incompletions. Some draft experts are raising his grade based on his performance thus far.
| Footballguys view: Cameron is a possession receiver who is built like a running back. He's strong enough to pick up yards after contact, and Cameron does a good job in the open field. He should be a Day 3 pick, but this performance at the Senior Bowl might cause him to rise into late Day 2 in the 2026 NFL Draft. |
Florida State DL Darrell Jackson Jr. was added to the Senior Bowl roster and arrived for practice Wednesday, Jan. 28. 'The more scouts that see me do what I do, the better,' Jackson said. 'I'm thrilled to be here. It's more football, and I love it.'
