Minnesota Vikings draft notes: 2017 Senior Bowl practice, day two
By Jordan Reid
- Ohio defensive end Tarell Basham had a nice day. Showing his tremendous ball get-off skills on multiple occasions.
- Tanoh Kpassagnon showed his speed upfield multiple times. The Villanova edge rusher is the definition of a “Mike Zimmer guy”. He’s long (6-foot-7), with a lot of tools that he doesn’t know how to properly use yet. He had a really good rep in the one-on-one period against Kentucky offensive lineman Jon Toth.
- Montravius Adams created quite the buzz prior to the South’s evening practice. The Auburn defensive tackle has put together two solid days and he has a lot of momentum heading into the final day of practice.
- Surrounded by potential first-round picks in Jonathan Allen and Tim Williams, three technique Dalvin Tomlinson seemed to be the forgotten man along the Alabama front-four in 2016. But Tomlinson has created a name for himself among the South interior defensive lineman. In a rep against Miami guard Danny Isidora, Tomlinson showed a powerful bull-rush, sending Isidora to the ground.
- Youngstown State defensive end Derek Rivers put together another solid performance. Among the edge rushers, he seemed to hold up the best against the run despite weighing in at a light 250 pounds. Rivers also demonstrated extreme explosiveness off the edge when rushing the passer.
