Senior Bowl Stock Up
Louisiana-Lafayette CB Dwight Bentley
I have concerns about his deep speed and ability to turn and run with elite deep threats in the NFL, but Bentley's instincts and closing burst when playing off the line are impressive. He made a nice play at one point by reading a route, breaking on the ball and knocking the pass away from North Carolina WR Dwight Jones. On another play, Bentley stayed with Texas AM WR Jeff Fuller in off coverage then made an excellent diving catch after the ball popped up in the air off Fuller's body. We came into the week knowing very little about Bentley, but his performance to this point will force scouts to take another look at what he can possibly to for their team.

Georgia OL Cordy Glenn
Glenn struggled when lined up at left tackle on Day 1, but he slid inside to guard on Day 2 and looked much more comfortable. He engulfed defenders at the point of attack with his massive frame (6-54, 346), took good angles to the second level and moved well in his pass sets. Glenn generally played with good pad level, though he did get rocked back at times when coming off too high. I'd like to see a bit more overall balance as well, but Glenn did a nice job using his length, power and short-area quickness to get movement. It was a nice bounce-back day for Glenn on Day 2.

Senior Bowl Stock Down
Texas A&M WR Jeff Fuller
Fuller had a hard time sinking his hips and transitioning in and out of breaks. He also showed no ability to vary the speed and tempo of his routes. Fuller was simply too methodical and lacked burst, and his methodical movements telegraphed any double moves. He did make a nice catch over the middle during the team period, but Fuller also let some balls bounce off his chest. He has to be more consistent if he hopes to prove to teams he can be a solid possession-type receiver in the NFL.

UAB OT Matt McCants
McCants showed an overall lack of aggressiveness on Day 2, seeming to lack power, strength and urgency. He played too high at times and was often unable to anchor, and he struggled to move laterally and stay with defenders. McCants was often overpowered during one-on-one drills, appearing lethargic and not showing much in the way of toughness. He allowed too many defenders to get into his body, which allowed them to move him back and expose his questionable inline power base.
