This week the entirety of the NFL world, teams and media alike will descend on Mobile, Alabama for the biggest college All-Star game of the offseason, the Reese’s Senior Bowl. This is the premier event for top draft prospects to show what they can do in a practice setting run by NFL coaches. In terms of the NFL draft evaluation process, it doesn’t get much bigger than this.
Without a first-round pick, it is vital for the Pittsburgh Steelers to properly evaluate the prospects to be sure they don’t miss on that all-important second-round pick. Here are eight players for the Steelers to watch this week in Mobile.
QB Jordan Love, Utah State
All the talk at the quarterback position has been about Joe Burrow but a player who doesn’t get enough attention is Love. He’s a guy you have to scout beyond the boxscore because he got very little help from the guys around him. He’s got impressive accuracy and can make every NFL throw. He’s not a year-one starter but has as much upside as any quarterback in the draft.
