If you’ve been paying attention to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama this week you’ve heard a ton about how former Notre Dame cornerback Troy Pride, Jr. has wowed the masses and elevated his draft stock.
That may all be fine and true but it was a different former Notre Dame defensive back that walked out with the “DB of the Week” award for the North team.
It instead went to Jalen Elliott who was voted the winner by the the north teams wide receivers that he spent all week practicing against.
I want to thank @JimNagy_SB and the whole @seniorbowl staff for giving me the opportunity to compete against some of the best in the country… The journey is just beginning! Make sure y’all tune in this Saturday for a great game 🙏🏿 #NorthvsSouth pic.twitter.com/BVdMr8euLh

I think the key takeaway here is it’s voted on my those that played against him which is the best way to decide.
“Hey, who was the guy you absolutely didn’t want to see across from you this week?”
Seems like a logical way to pick a winner and can only mean good things for Elliott as he tries to raise his stock before April’s NFL Draft.
The 2020 Senior Bowl kicks off at 2:30 pm E.T. in Mobile, Alabama and can be seen on NFL Network.
