re: The Senior Bowl Thread

some players spot lighted-

Margus Hunt, DE, SMU (6081, 272 and 4.77): Similar to Ansah, Hunt is new to football and still developing into the player he has the talent to be. His incredible combination of height, long arms, natural explosion and elite speed, give him the tools to not only be a highly productive starter in the NFL, but to do so while lining up in a variety of spots. While he lacks the first step explosiveness and speed to beat NFL OT’s around the corner consistently, he has shown the ability to use his long arms, hands and strength to defeat pass blockers surprisingly well. There is little doubt that he will be a high draft pick because of his size, strength and athleticism, but what could help him really climb draft boards is proving that he can be effective playing in both a 34 and 43 defenses.

Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State (6021, 185 and 4.45 E): Viewed as the best senior cornerback in the nation entering 2012, Banks comes to Mobile having to prove to NFL teams that he warrants being in the discussion as the top overall cornerback now that underclassmen like Dee Milliner have entered the Draft. Banks’ combination of excellent size, long arms, playing speed and coverage/ball skills have led to his on-field play being compared to the Ravens’ Jimmy Smith. However, Banks does not always play with the physical or aggressive style that NFL teams want and needs to prove in Mobile that he is not afraid to play physical and hit despite having a thin frame. If Banks has a great week, he will likely secure a spot in the first round and could challenge to be a top 20 pick.

prolly some insane stat to be found of how many Sr Bowl players are taken from the staffs that coach there each year. As noted, the Lions and Raiders staffs are coaching this year.

A lot of player profiles, etc. HERE
