A week of practice for more than 100 college seniors from across the nation culminated on Saturday with the 2020 Senior Bowl, where the North had a dominating 34-17 victory over the South team. The North won the game with a strong run game, and a great front-four that was rotated throughout the game.
Could the Bills be interested in any standouts from the game?
Let’s look at who stood out during the Senior Bowl and helped their draft stock before the NFL combine:
EDGE Alton Robinson, Syracuse
This is the beginning of the edge rushers that will be discussed because the North created consistent pressure with just four men. Not many people outside of Central New York saw Alton Robinson play during his time at Cuse but he had 19.5 sacks in his career, who has a variety of moves and a great motor.
During the Senior Bowl he had two sacks, the first was against the elusive Jalen Hurts where Robinson bullied his matchup and dragged Hurts down. His second was against Steven Montez where Montez escaped the initial pressure but, Robinson tracked him down and finish the sack.
The Buffalo Bills need more players who can pressure the quarterback, and Robinson is projected as a Day 3 pick, so he should be on the radar of Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott.

Robinson had a pair of sacks, and both were quite impressive, with one coming on @OU_Football QB Jalen Hurts. @CNYCentral pic.twitter.com/ZvJ99nxBfU
