  • Syracuse standout receiver Amba Etta-Tawo dealt with a dislocated left middle finger entering the third day of practice. He still managed to participate on the final day.
  • Louisville receiver Jamari Staples missed the final practice due to a concussion suffered on day two.
  • Not known for his speed, Toledo tight end Michael Roberts continued to find ways to gain separation and get open. he had an impressive rep against Saint Francis’ Lorenzo Jerome.
  • Zay Jones has proven to be one of the most consistent receivers in Mobile. The East Carolina product ran a sluggo route against Iowa cornerback Desmond King, leaving him in his tracks. In the one-on-one portion, none of the North defensive backs could guard Jones.
  • Arkansas tight end Jeremy Sprinkle stood out for the first time on the final day. The biggest question surrounding Sprinkle is that scouts want to know why he was sent home early from the Belk Bowl. He reportedly was caught shoplifting.
  • In what’s considered a loaded tight end class Florida International tight end Jonnu Smith seemed to be the forgotten man in Mobile. He’s put together a nice stretch of practices catching the ball, but he continued to struggle in pass protection.
  • East-West Shrine Game standout and Drake tight end Eric Saubert was added to the Senior Bowl roster today.
  • South receivers really struggled in the one-on-one portion of practice. Having multiple dropped passes.
  • UNC wide receiver Ryan Switzer continued to show extreme quickness despite suffering an ankle injury on day-one.
  • Grambling receiver Chad Willliams continued his success despite being a late addition to the Senior Bowl roster. To end day-two, Williams and Miami safety Rayshawn Jenkins got into a scuffle. As a result of that, the Browns staff made them go against one another, resulting in Williams running right by Jenkins and catching a touchdown.
  • Former LSU receiver Travin Dural really struggled in the one-on-ones session. He had back-to-back drops.
