2022 Senior Bowl: Day 3 Recap

Chris Ransom follow @DraftUtopia Posted on: 2/3/2022.

Malik Willis did well in the rain yesterday. He dominated today finishing the best among the six quarterbacks. During a bucket drill, Willis hit the bucket twice knocking it down once. Detroit Lions quarterbacks coach Mark Brunell said Willis made four progressions on a five wide receiver set. Malik Willis did enough to become my QB4 and move into the first round. He needs to shine in Saturday's Senior Bowl game if he wants to enter the top 3 since I am really impressed with Matt Corral, Carson Strong, and Kenny Pickett as well. Kenny Pickett and Carson Strong stood out for the National Team while Malik Willis dominated for the American Team.

Jermaine Johnson II sat out of Thursday's practice due to ankle injury. He will play on Saturday.

Colorado State tight end Trey McBride had another strong day for the American Team. McBride dominated for the third day in a row. Trey McBride may be a first round pick. Nevada tight end Cole Turner and Wisconsin tight end Jake Ferguson could also end up being a starter on the right team and at the very worst will be a high end number two tight end.

Alec Pierce the Cincinnati wide receiver, Romeo Doubs the Nevada wide receiver, and Christian Watson the North Dakota State wide receiver stood out for the National Team today.

Rachaad White and Jerome Ford got rushing touchdowns for the National Team at running back. Tyler Badie the Missouri running back was the only running back to catch a receiving touchdown among the running backs in Mobile.

Both Trevor Penning and Bernard Raimann the left tackles for Northern Iowa and Central Michigan dominated for the National Team on the third day.

One more offensive lineman that stood out for the National Team was Boston College left guard Zion Johnson. Johnson showcased the versatility to play offensive tackle, guard, or center. This wasn't something I saw from Johnson on film and I was a huge fan of Zion Johnson before this. Zion Johnson stayed late after Practice on Wednesday after a strong practice on Tuesday. Zion Johnson stayed late after practice being the second person to leave for the National Team for the second day in a row.

Defensive tackles Logan Hall of Houston and Perrion Winfrey of Oklahoma dominated at 4-3 defensive tackle for the National Team for the third day in a row. I won't be surprised if a team reaches for Hall or Winfrey in the late first round after both defensive tackles stepped up in Mobile.

Florida running back Dameon Pierce had a good wednesday. Dameon Pierce ran for a rushing touchdown on Thursday

Isaiah Likely struggled in blocking drills on day 3 for the American Team. Jalen Tolbert stepped up at wide receiver for the American Team.

LSU guard Ed Ingram and Alabama defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis dominated for the National Team. Both of those guys impressed me on day 3.

Alabama running back Brian Robinson Jr. dominated in pass protection. Alabama's running back may be the best pass blocking running back from the 2022 Reese's Senior Bowl.
