The Senior Bowl practices are a great evaluation tool for the draft.
It’s usually really hard for safeties to stand out in a Senior Bowl practice setting, as they typically get the short end of the stick during individual and team drills; however, UCF’s Richie Grant was able to continually catch my eye because of his promising coverage ability in comparison to most of the safeties in Mobile.
During the WR-DB one-on-ones, safeties usually struggle mightily because they’re forced to cover shifty slot receivers in man coverage — a situation true safeties rarely find themselves in throughout the college football season.
