NFL.com's prospects to watch at Senior Bowl


Minnesota OT Aireontae Ersery

“I’ve fallen in love with similar prospects in the past only to come away disappointed, but I’m willing to stick with my guy through the process. Ersery, listed at 6-6, 330 pounds, doesn’t always maul his man the way you’d expect, and he’s not as technically refined as you’d like for a senior. But that kind of athletic profile often ends up pushing a player up the draft board.”

Missouri OT Armand Membou

“You’ll hear his name more, I suspect, during Senior Bowl week. All season long, Membou was Mizzou’s most reliable blocker, displaying rare feel for pass blocking for a thickly built athlete. He should measure around 6-foot-3, and his arm length will be a key measurement for scouts, but Membou is very much on the rise.”

“Taylor might have been underused as a receiver in his three college seasons, but he has football royalty in his blood as the son of Jason Taylor and the nephew of Zach Thomas, both Pro Football Hall of Famers. Taylor’s play speed and run-after-catch ability really could stand out in one-on-one sessions. I think he’s being slept on right now.”

“Another catch-first tight end, Arroyo entered 2024 with 11 receptions in three seasons, but QB Cam Ward’s arrival helped bring out Arroyo’s talent. He averaged nearly 17 yards per catch in 2024, making him a fascinating, late-blooming talent. The TE crop rivals last year’s strong group, headlined by Taylor, Arroyo and two others I like, Texas’ Gunnar Helm and Bowling Green’s Harold Fannin Jr.”

“Overlooked on the Ducks’ defense, Bassa successfully converted from safety to linebacker. He has maintained his athleticism and instincts to project to three-down duty if he shows he can take on blockers effectively at the point of attack.”

“If you watched the Peach Bowl, you might also have seen Mukuba flash. He made a quality, open-field tackle on Arizona State RB Cam Skattebo (no easy task) and then had a key pass breakup near the goal line at game’s end. Mukuba has a great GPS for finding the ball, with quality instincts, athleticism and length.”

Louisville CB Quincy Riley

“Louisville CB coach Steve Ellis told me he thinks Riley is a four-down player who can play outside on first and second downs, nickel on third downs and punt returner on fourth. With 15 career INTs, Riley has a nose for the ball, and the success of ex-Cardinals Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and Storm Duck suggests that Riley could make a smooth NFL…
