2020 Senior Bowl: Winners, losers from Day 1 practices

Chargers Wire’s Gavino Borquez lays out his winners and losers from Day 1 of the 2020 Reese’s Senior Bowl.

The 2020 Senior Bowl kicked off on Tuesday with the North and South teams starting their first day of practices.

Which players impressed? Which players disappointed?

Here are my picks for the the biggest winners and losers from Tuesday’s on-field action:

Winner – Javon Kinlaw | DT | South Carolina

Labeled as a projected top-20 going into the week, there was only so much to gain for Kinlaw. Many were wondering why he decided to still play this week despite being slotted to go high in the upcoming draft, and he said that he wanted to just come out and compete in his presser on Monday night.

Compete might be an understatement to describe Kinlaw’s showing on Tuesday afternoon, as he dominated some of the top interior offensive linemen. He used his power, length and explosive quickness to get into the backfield on every single.
