Senior Bowl

[bennyl08]

Senior bowl is still a bit of a ways away (won't be played for 11 days, practices haven't happened yet).

However, here's a thread to post updates in.

Current accepted invites: Toby Baker and Jeremy Sprinkle.

Senior Bowl has a bit more prestige than the shrine game

QB1 for south from Tiffin?? Where?

It's listed in numerical order.

Senior Bowl is here. Probably going to be hard to find much on Sprinkle given that OJ Howard is the premiere TE there.

However, here's the weigh in information from the senior bowl for Sprinkle.

Jeremy Sprinkle
Arkansas
6046 ht
256 wt
34 1/8 arm
10 5/8 hands

He's the 2nd tallest TE there, just about 1" shorter than Howard. He's the 2nd heaviest TE there, 5 lbs behind Mike Roberts from Toledo who was just a fraction of an inch shorter than Sprinkle. Sprinkle is 6 pounds heavier than Howard. Sprinkle had the longest arms of the group, by a quarter of an inch and the 2nd biggest hands, losing to Roberts by a full inch and beating Howard by 5/8ths.

Nice to know that at least Sprinkle won't have the small hands problem that many of our former NFL prospects have had, not to mention the CiC.

Hard to find the full specifics on the specialists. Saw that Baker came in at 6'3 207. He was listed here at 6'3 215.

While we are at it, Sprinkle was listed as 6'6 256. His weight was right on the money, but he's about an inch and a half shorter than advertised.

I don't think either Kelley or Hyatt will have that problem either.

I wish they would go back to the old format, the 11 original states of the Confederacy vs the rest of the country....if all participated, sounds like the yanks might have a chance to keep it close
