Things are well underway in Mobile, Alabama for the 2020 Senior Bowl with the first series of practices beginning on Tuesday. And for the New York Giants, they’ve wasted little time in meeting with several players who may pique their interest.
Walter Football reports that the Giants met with at least two prospects over the first day and a half of Senior Bowl week, including Arizona State running back Eno Benjamin.
Benjamin posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons before declaring for the 2020 NFL Draft, finishing his junior season with 1,430 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns. That comes on the heels of an even more impressive campaign in 2018 in which he finished with 1,905 yards from scrimmage and 18 touchdowns.
Our friends over at Draft Wire recently called Benjamin “one of the best performing running backs in all of college football over the past two seasons.”
In addition to Benjamin, the Giants have also met with Syracuse defensive end Alton Robinson.
In 12 games this past season, Robinson recorded 22 tackles, nine tackles for a loss, 4.0 sacks and three passes defensed, which were down numbers in comparison to his 2018 season in which the edge rusher recorded 31 tackles, 17 tackles for a loss, 10 sacks and three forced fumbles.
Over his three seasons at Syracuse, Robinson has recorded 32 tackles for a loss and 19 sacks.
Robinson is currently projected as a third-round pick over at Draft Wire, but a strong week in Mobile and then a solid NFL Combine experience could boost his draft stock significantly.
