Minnesota Vikings draft notes: 2017 Senior Bowl practice, day three
By Jordan Reid
- The North quarterbacks were put through no-huddle drills today to test their understanding of play terminology and how they adjusted to being in simulated game-like situations.
- Senior Bowl executive director Phil Savage reported that former Tennessee quarterback Josh Dobbs will start for the South team in Saturday’s game. Dobbs has been the most impressive thrower from the South squad and he has been the first quarterback to start drills throughout the week.
- Pittsburgh quarterback Nathan Peterman showed some pocket awareness, stepping up in the pocket and lobbing the ball up to East Carolina receiver Zay Jones. It was eventually broken up by West Virginia cornerback Rasul Douglas. Peterman continued to build on a strong week of practice.
- After settling down in day-two, Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard’s accuracy returned to its inconsistent ways during the 11-on-11 team portion of practice.
- Colorado quarterback Sefo Liufau continued to struggle with his accuracy, as well as getting depth from under-center. You can tell that it is something he has never had to do in college.
- Cal quarterback Davis Webb threw the ball very nicely on day-three, lofting a beautiful ball to the back pylon to Western Kentucky wide receiver Taywan Taylor.
