So who made the biggest impressions during the week of the Senior Bowl 2025? With the warning that it is very difficult for a player to injure his stock to the senior Bowl, here are some of the most discussed players in mobile (listed in alphabetical order):

1. Elijah Arroyo, Te, Miami

It was a fairly strong mobile ending group this year, and Arroyo was probably the most coherent in the group throughout the week in practice. Mason Taylor de LSU was also good enough, although it was not left for the game.

2. Jack Bech, Wr, TCU

Before even walking on the ground, Bech’s story was well known because of the tragic death of his older brother, Tiger, in the New Year’s terrorist attack in New Orleans. But he had an exceptional week of practice, after that by catching the winning touch on the final game of the match and winning the MVP honors. Bech’s Senior Bowl Week could not have been more incredible if it was scripted.

3.TREVOR Etienne, RB, Georgia

The Senior Bowl Ballon Ball group of this year was also full of big names, and on their credit, most of them stayed for the game. Etienne played a particularly long season for the Bulldogs, but had the ‘Air well during training and dragged on the match when many other people whose teams have done deep university football races did not do it.

4. Mike Green, Olb, Marshall

Green has known the viral moment of the week in practice through Oregon line player Josh Conerly during individual exercises, and was almost unlocked, whatever who was on the other side of the line. He showed that his 17 nation’s head bags this season were not a stroke of luck and that the group of 5 players can hang with anyone.

5. Tez Johnson, Wr, Oregon

Johnson registered only 5 feet 9 inches and 162 pounds at the weighing senior Bowl, but turned out to be one of the two best receivers in the city this week (with Bech) despite his lack of mass. The former fast of Pinson Valley and Troy want to leave the city before the match on Saturday, but showed a lot when you fought the defensive backs all week in training.

6. Shemar James, Ilb, Florida

Native Mobile, James’ senior Bowl week would have been memorable even if he did not work well in practice or game, but he showed cover skills during the first breathtaking capacity in the second. He was also one of the fastest players on the field this week, whatever the position.

7. Riley Leonard, QB, Notre Dame

The other local product that took the field in the senior Bowl, Leonard deserves a huge amount of credit for having exceeded it all week after taking a hit in the national championship match less than two weeks ago. There are questions about the native of Fairhope as a passer, but he checks all the boxes of a character, from a point of view of leadership and tenacity.

8. Jalen Milroe, Qb, Alabama

Milroe also entered the week of the Senior Bowl week with a lot of questions and did not really answer many of them. He is an exceptional runner and launches a beautiful deep ball, but has not been sharp on short or intermediate roads in practice or Saturday. But he stayed there and took sure (literally and figuratively) and was by far the most popular player with the fans before, during and after the match.

9. Walter Nolen, DL, Ole Miss

It was an exceptional group of defensive line players this year, and Nolen stood at the head of the class. He was a first-rate recruit of high school three years ago, was an All-American with the rebels last season and entered the week of the Senior Bowl as a choice of draft NFL probable. He certainly did nothing to dissuade this idea during training, although he left the city before the match on Saturday.

10. Gray Zabel, OL, North Dakota State

The battles in the trenches during training are the heart of the week of the senior Bowl, and Zabel showed that he could be the last star of bison to achieve the glory of the NFL. He won the price of the general training player of the week, as voted by those who faced him in exercises 1 against 1 and 11 against 11.
