Mobile Sees Promising Talent at Senior Bowl 2025

Mobile, Alabama – The 2025 Senior Bowl practices wrapped up this week, providing a stage for a variety of players to showcase their skills to NFL scouts and coaches. While this year’s quarterback class may not have the same star power as last year’s, there is plenty of depth across several key positions including tight end, running back, and various defensive spots.

On a recent podcast, experts highlighted a number of players who stood out during practices. Among those mentioned is Oladejo, affectionately known as O2 Jo. The high-energy edge rusher only switched to his current position last season after starting at linebacker. His performance against Penn State was particularly impressive, where he used a mix of moves to dominate the offensive line.

Fans are also buzzing about rising quarterback talent. Jackson Dart reportedly had a strong showing, impressing NFL personnel with his arm strength and leadership skills. He may find himself in the first round of the draft, particularly with the looming question marks surrounding this year’s QB prospects.

Wide receiver Bech also made headlines at the event; despite not being the fastest on the field, he consistently demonstrated excellent route-running and catching ability. His combination of skills and experience could see him drafted on Day 2.

Another player to keep an eye on is Arroyo, a tight end recognized for his athleticism and versatility. He proved to be a reliable target at Miami and is expected to go early in the draft.

Additionally, running back Neal caught attention with his explosive running and ability to contribute in the passing game. He seemed determined to prove he can be an all-around player at the next level, and feedback from scouts suggests he accomplished just that.

For defensive players, Zabel stood out for his leadership qualities and dominance in the trenches. His performance may even land him in the first round. Likewise, Walker, known for his power and ability to create disruption, might be an undervalued gem in this year’s draft.

Despite some players struggling with consistency, like Smith who faced concentration issues, the week in Mobile served as a crucial opportunity for these prospects to make an impression. The Senior Bowl has always been a place where future NFL stars emerge, and this year appears to be no different as scouts prepare for the upcoming draft in just a few short months.
