With the college football season in the rearview mirror and just the Super Bowl left to play in the NFL, draft season is quickly approaching for many football fans.

For many of the top players in college football, this last season is was the last opportunity to put game film out there to get drafted this April. There’s one more opportunity to make a splash with the arrival of the Senior Bowl this week.

Senior Bowl practices will take place Tuesday through Thursday with the game being played on Saturday at noon EST.  It is an excellent opportunity for players to show NFL executives, coaches, and scouts what they can do and build up their draft stock.

This year three Ohio State players will among those playing in the Senior Bowl with safety Josh Proctor, linebacker Tommy Eichenberg, and defensive tackle Michael Hall Jr. all accepting invites.

We wish the best of luck to all three players as a good week of practices, the game, and interviews with teams, could go a long way toward boosting their NFL Draft profile.

Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman has one more game left in college career

College isn’t quite over for Hartman just yet

While Notre Dame quarterback [autotag]Sam Hartman[/autotag] opted out of the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, he was on the sidelines rooting on his Irish teammates.

It seemed like we had seen the last of Hartman at this level, but on Thursday morning we found out he will play one more game as an amateur, the [autotag]Reese’s Senior Bowl[/autotag].

For one last time, we will see Hartman in an Irish helmet. Even though his time in South Bend wasn’t as great as many expected, he still performed well. He will have one more chance to impress NFL scouts ahead of the draft.

We wish Sam the best in his final collegiate competition.

Notre Dame’s Sam Hartman unsurprisingly gains national honor

No surprises here, Hartman was dominant

Although many of us had an idea of what [autotag]Notre Dame football[/autotag] transfer [autotag]Sam Hartman[/autotag] would bring to the table, we still needed to see it against an opponent.

The graduate transfer carved up the Navy defense, throwing for 251 yards and 4 touchdowns to lead the Irish to 42 points. That performance earned Hartman the distinction of the [autotag]Reese’s Senior Bowl[/autotag] offensive player of the week.

This might just be the beginning of awards for Hartman, as he finally has a defense that can back up his impressive offensive play. Oh, and lest we forget he’s now playing on a national stage for the Irish.

The Irish will get back to the field this weekend at home against Tennessee State, in a game they will be heavy favorites once again. Expect Hartman to put up similar numbers like he did against Navy this coming Saturday.

Watch: Daelin Hayes Sacks Wake Forest’s Jamie Newman in Senior Bowl

COVID-19 may have robbed us of Notre Dame’s game vs. Wake Forest this past season, but the Senior Bowl somewhat made up for it.

COVID-19 may have robbed us of Notre Dame’s game vs. Wake Forest this past season, but the Senior Bowl somewhat made up for it. Late in the second quarter of this year’s contest, Daelin Hayes was on the field at the same time as Demon Deacons quarterback Jamie Newman. We’ll never know exactly what would have happened had that matchup not been called off, but it’s possible it would have looked something like this:

Hayes had three sacks for 19 yards lost during the 2020 season. That he added one more with NFL scouts watching surely did wonders for his draft prospects. It’s more of an impact than several of these players get to make in this game. Here’s hoping somebody noticed him and thus wants him on their team.

Irish have 6 players on Senior Bowl Top 250

There could be up to six Notre Dame Football seniors who could play in this years version of the Reese’s Senior Bowl.

The Reese’s Senior Bowl has been a great sendoff for collegiate seniors since 1950, giving them once more opportunity to impress the NFL scouts as the finish off their eligibility. This year six Notre Dame players made their top 250 list, which were: offensive linemen Tommy Kramer, Liam Eichenberg and Robert Hainsey, quarterback Ian Book, and defensive linemen Daelin Hayes and Ade Ogundeji.

This game has been a spring board for some great prospects, as their alumni consists of Cowboys quarterback Dan Prescott and New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. The Irish have had one MVP of the Senior Bowl, coming all the way back in 1959 when running back Norm Odyniec shared the title with Georgia full back Theron Sapp.

All six of the Notre Dame players on their top 250 list have a great shot at making the All-Star game. Last year Chase Claypool impressed many while Troy Pride Jr., Alohi Gilman and Jalen Elliott each made their marks during the week. Hopefully they all get their chance to shine one more time wearing the Blue and Gold.
