Senior Bowl Week

It sounds like Sean Weatherspoon and Danario Alexander are doing well today in practice:

When watching the North linebackers, the first thing that stands out is Sean Weatherspoon. This guy is a leader. Sean is constantly getting the other LBs fired up and keeping everyone on task. He also likes to talk some trash on the field, but backs it up. Spoon flowed to the ball well in team drills, showing an ability to wade through the garbage and get to the ball carrier. He seems to quickly diagnose running plays and does a more than adequate job in coverage.

Missouri linebacker Sean Weatherspoon is making me forget about his average senior season. I've been told he has a very outgoing personality, but on the football field his instincts come to life and he is quick to diagnose and react. A big game in the Senior Bowl could guarantee he comes off the board in the top 50 picks.

Wide receivers Mardy Gilyard of Cincinnati and Danario Alexander of Missouri were really bringing their A-game today. Both were diving for passes and going the extra mile to impress the scouts. They’re practically polar opposites as far as receiver types, but are showing their skill sets well. Both are also showing the willingness to be a downfield blocker for the run game.
