Let me go ahead and get that out of the way. Yes, we're talking about practice, BUT this game is a huge way for college players in their final year of eligibility to play in front of NFL scouts. This Saturday is the Senior Bowl, the best of the North vs best of the South when it comes to seniors in college. The game is coached by coaching staffs of different NFL teams.

Jacob Rodriquez Standing Out at Senior Bowl Practice

You go through Senior Bowl coverage and the former Rider Raider is moving up on a lot of folks draft boards. According to scouts on X, they had Jacob before the Senior Bowl going somewhere in the third round of the NFL draft. Many are saying if Jacob balls out like he has been in practice, don't be shocked if a team moves into the second round to draft him come April.

Yahoo Sports Has Jacob as a Top 100 Player in the NFL Draft

We will get a better idea of the NFL draft once the official order is set after The Super Bowl. Yahoo Sports currently has Jacob going as 93rd pick in the NFL draft. We have a lot of time between now and that draft. Plus if Jacob has a big game on Saturday, that number could move him up to an earlier round. We will wait and see. The Senior Bowl airs on the NFL Network this Saturday at 1:30.
