The Senior Bowl is the first major step for upperclassmen to showcase themselves in front of scouts and front office members. Over the last few years, it’s become as important as the NFL draft combine for seniors who are looking to take the next step.
Players can answer a lot of questions about themselves early in the draft process. And not just on the field. For better or worse there were questions about Baker Mayfield’s personality and whether it would be a fit for a franchise. At the Senior Bowl, Cleveland executives had those questions put to rest as they got their first chance to meet with the eventual No. 1 overall pick.
The Sooners have five players taking part in the Senior Bowl this week in Marquis Hayes, Jeremiah Hall, Isaiah Thomas, Brian Asamoah, and Perrion Winfrey. But with strong Senior Bowl showings, guys like Thomas, Hayes, and Asamoah could find themselves move into the top 100.
Best of luck to all our Sooners at the @seniorbowl this week!#OUDNA pic.twitter.com/arnuQQojRa
