Hernandez loves to block through the echo of the whistle - he is causing visible frustration with this DT group. #76 is just a mean dude. And I love it.

notes from the senior bowl

of interest to me. . .

Josh Allen started with a bad overthrow against air as the practice began, and during one-on-one drills, a few of his passes were behind and low, particularly one on a dig route to Colorado State wideout Michael Gallup. However, it wasn't a wildly erratic day for the Wyoming quarterback. Many of his accurate passes were dropped, as it appeared the sun cutting across the field was a problem for some receivers at the outset of the practice, most namely DaeSean Hamilton of Penn State and Iowa State's Allen Lazard.

UTEP guard Will Hernandez dominated in one-on-one drills. It didn't matter who he faced. He's wide, strong, and has deceptive movement skills to drive back the opposition. He certainly did that on Tuesday.

it's worth noting that hernandez's college coach, sean kugler, is now our O-line coach. . . draftniks, is this kid really that far behind nelson?

Not unless he gets pulled over with weed in the car between now and the draft.

Yes. He moves very well for a guy that goes 340. He also might be close to Nelson in the run blocking department, but he's miles behind Nelson in the pass blocking department. Hernandez still has pro bowl ability though.

Baker Mayfield's arm strength is really popping so far. Ball carries zip all the way to his targets. Nose of the ball never dips. Especially notable when throwing out routes. #SeniorBowl

So Oklahoma State WR James Washington, who is under 5-11, has arms (33 7/8") about as long as PSU TE Mike Gesicki (34") who is north of 6-foot-5. No wonder he played so big on 50-50 balls.

Washington was one of the more underrated prospects before senior bowl week. He's getting lots of love now.

Little #SeniorBowl scuttlebutt. Have heard for about a month now that #Saints coach Sean Payton is squarely in the camp of Baker Mayfield believers. That’s not going away.

From North practice, courtesy @ZebraTechnology - tracking players this week:
Fastest Throw = Josh Allen – 66.14 MPH
Longest Throw = Tanner Lee – 54.7 yards
Highest Rotations Per Minute = Luke Falk 721.6 RPM
Most Throws = Luke Falk 112 throws

comments from bucky brooks. . .

Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield continues to show people that when it comes to timing, touch and anticipation, he has all the stuff. That's where he separates himself from other QBs. He hit a couple skinny posts where he threw the ball well before the receiver broke and the pass was right on the money.


He was the last Senior Bowl participant to arrive here in Mobile, getting into town on Tuesday afternoon before heading over to practice, and he showed once again that he's a gamer. His competitiveness shines in settings like this one.

The big thing to watch with Mayfield will continue to be what he does off the field. Will he convince people that he can be the CEO of the program? Interviews with NFL teams will be a big deal for him this week.

and this one's from daniel jeremiah. . .

Will Hernandez, the guard from UTEP, had a really good day. He's a strong, physical guy who's built for the run game, and that's where he excels. I was pleasantly surprised with how well he held up in pass protection, though. He's in the mix to be a Day 2 pick (Rounds 2-3) and he certainly didn't hurt himself on Tuesday. -- Daniel Jeremiah

I still don't want him, but I repudiate my former statement that he lacks talents.

as far as i can see, the only area where he lacks talent is in the tallness department. . .

It matters, but it's not a killer.

**** it, if they're comfortable with him as being the guy, we ride. I just don't want a listless and timid QB.

Miles? I know the competition is different, but the only guard in NCAA to allow less QB pressures than Nelson in 2017 was Hernandez.

No thank you.

Mayfield was on the money though.
