Former Texas wide receivers Collin Johnson and Devin Duvernay continue to impress NFL scouts and executives at the Senior Bowl this week. After day two of practices, they have surprisingly been the best receivers on the South roster.
At nearly 6-foot-6, Johnson has seemingly been unstoppable. Several scouts have been noticeably impressed with Johnson’s ability to get in and out of his breaks and stacking cornerbacks vertically. Take a peek at a few more highlights from his second day of practices below.

Great route from Collin Johnson. Uses great footwork to beat press coverage, then uses his speed to gain separation and finishes it off boxing out the corner. Great week from Johnson #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/CqZf7Rr8nc

Although much of the hype was centered around Johnson yesterday, Duvernay has quietly had a strong week of practices also. Duvernay is one of the fastest players at the Senior Bowl, and has a thick lower frame that accompanies strong hands to make catches through contact.

Good outside release to find a crease and use his speed to separate for long TD

Johnson and Duvernay are currently projected to be selected in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Expect that draft stock to increase significantly if their Senior Bowl week continues down this exciting path.
