Holmes came in being viewed as a Day 3 guy after his 2019 season was so much worse than 2018, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Holmes sneaks in top-100. [/su_tab] [/su_tabs]

Hand: 8 1/4″ [/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Tuesday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Robinson really struggled to start off his time in Mobile and looked overmatched at times. The most notable thing he did all day was get toasted in a drill by Collin Johnson[/su_tab][su_tab title=”Wednesday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Another bland day for Reggie Robinson in Mobile on Wednesday. I thought he did a good job on a hitch against Collin Johnson where he was lined up in press on him. He used his length well to disrupt the route, but against Collin Johnson, length can only take one so far. He has gifts, he just hasn’t showed in practice that he knows how to use them consistently.[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Thursday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Another unremarkable day for Robinson on Thursday. He never stood out in anyway and oftentimes look overmatched against the bigger school players. The Tulsa DB failed to generate serious buzz about him at this event.
[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Analysis” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Reggie flashed playmaking in drills with his size, length, and athleticism but didn’t really impress me or anybody else I talked to in Mobile. I think there was enough there to warrant a Day 3 selection, however. But, he didn’t put enough out there to say his stock dramatically increased from where it was coming into the Senior Bowl.

Weight: 213
Arm: 31 1/4″
Hand: 8 3/8″ [/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Tuesday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Antoine Brooks really put on a show in man coverage drills. He demonstrated his explosiveness by cutting off routes, and he kept up with the tight ends and running backs all afternoon long. His physical play stood out today in a big way in a somewhat lackluster safety class.[/su_tab][su_tab title=”Wednesday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]I thought Brooks had another standout day in drills on Wednesday. He was sticking in coverage as good as he did yesterday. Never saw him get truly “burned” by anyone he covered. I’ve been asked a few times how I compare him to fellow Terps safety Darnell Savage from the 2019 NFL Draft. I don’t think Brooks is quite the athlete Savage was, but I like Brooks’ instincts in coverage and playmaking in coverage more than I did Savage.[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Thursday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Felt like another good day to continue Brooks’ hot streak of practices. Brooks had a great week of Senior Bowl practice and I’m really excited to see how he tests in the upcoming NFL Combine. He’s been one of the best safeties here in Mobile in my opinion.
[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Analysis” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Brooks came in somehow under-the-radar but emerged as one of the best safeties at the event. His “juice” in coverage showed up and he was plenty physical in drills. Was one of the winners of the DB group. [/su_tab] [/su_tabs]

Take that for what you will.[/su_tab][su_tab title=”Wednesday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]It’s been two days with nothing really memorable from Brian Cole in practices. Hasn’t stood out in an overly positive or negative way from what I’ve seen.[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Thursday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Nothing positive to really note about Cole on Thursday, either. Been utterly unremarkable and never really showed up in any positive way in practices.
[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Analysis” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]I wasn’t super familiar with Cole coming into the week and after…I’m not particularly excited to go to his tape. He failed to stand out in a positive way on film in practice. [/su_tab] [/su_tabs]
S Kyle Dugger, Lenior Rhyne
[su_tabs style=”default” active=”1″ vertical=”no” mobile=”stack” class=””] [su_tab title=”Measurables” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Height: 6-0 3/4″

Arm: 32 3/4″
Hand: 10 1/8″ [/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Tuesday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Dugger killed it today. There might have been more people at the Senior Bowl than there are at Lenoir-Rhyne, but Dugger showed he belonged. He is a safety with a linebacker’s athletic profile and showed off all day long. Nobody got open against him. I was really hoping to see that, as Lenoir-Rhyne tape is hard to come by.[/su_tab][su_tab title=”Wednesday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]It’s hard to argue that Kyle Dugger wasn’t the best player on the field on the South’s practice. He was all over the field in coverage, once again proving he could hang with the big-school players. He made a phenomenal INTs against Vanderbuilt’s Jared Pinkney, and showed off impressive range and coverage instincts. Hoping he caps off this week with another impressive performance on Thursday.[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Thursday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Hard to say that Dugger didn’t come away as one of the biggest winners of the Senior Bowl. After his performances in practice, I can’t really believe that he won’t be one of the first five safeties to come off the board in April. Been a really impressive showing with his athleticism and range.
[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Analysis” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]I loved Dugger this week. He proved he could hang with the big school prospects. His athleticism and mirroring really stood out to me on film. I think he’ll be one of the first five safeties off the board and wouldn’t be shocked if he ended up in round 2.

Arm: 31 7/8″
Hand: 8 5/8″ [/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Tuesday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Mayden flashed some in drills but overall underwhelmed. He reportedly had the 4th fastest speed of any of the players at the South’s practice, which backs up the tape. Hopefully, he puts on a better showing moving forward and makes the flashes more consistent. [/su_tab][su_tab title=”Wednesday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Mayden really struggled in the 1 on 1s today, failing to remain in phase in coverage numerous times. Devin Duvernay burned him deep so badly that Mayden fell to the ground and Jauan Jennings beat him by a good three feet on a comeback route (and Jennings isn’t exactly a good route runner). Been a forgettable two days for Mayden thus far.[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Thursday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Mayden didn’t get consistently beat in coverage drills today, which is an improvement. I’m not particularly fond of his performance and overall ability even on his season’s tape and it sounds like scouts aren’t either. [/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Analysis” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]It was an uninspiring week for Mayden at the Senior Bowl. He didn’t generate enough positive plays, but he played plenty physical. As a Bama DB, I was expecting something more from him. [/su_tab] [/su_tabs]

[/su_tab][su_tab title=”Wednesday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Wallace had a good day today but he had a low bar to clear in that regard. Wallace got beat in 1 on 1s but then recovered with a nice INT of Steven Montez in the 7 on 7s. He ended his day getting “Moss’d” by Van Jefferson in the 7 on 7s, but it was a marked improvement over his Tuesday performance. Hopefully, his Thursday performance is another improvement building off of Wednesday.[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Thursday” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Did not see K’Von Wallace on the field at all on Thursday.[/su_tab] [su_tab title=”Analysis” disabled=”no” anchor=”” url=”” target=”blank” class=””]Wallace was pretty poor overall down in Mobile. He had an interception gifted to him by Steven Montez, but then didn’t practice on Thursday. I wasn’t high on Wallace’s film or his practice performance. His stock remains firmly as a Day 3 player.
