2020 Senior Bowl: Top takeaways from Day 1 practices

Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling recaps the first day of practices at the 2020 Senior Bowl from Mobile, Alabama

Javon Kinlaw is the best player in Mobile

We had a pretty good idea of this coming in, but South Carolina defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw delivered on the high expectations with a dominant performance Tuesday. He was unblockable during interior pass-rush drills, giving Clemson guard John Simpson particular trouble.

A massive defender who weighed in at 6-5, 315 pounds Tuesday morning, Kinlaw used every bit of his imposing frame to destroy whoever had the misfortune of lining up across from him. He entered the week on the top-10 bubble, and he won’t need to take another snap in Mobile to stay there, or perhaps, go higher.
