At this point, many understand what the usefulness of the Reese’s Senior Bowl is; it’s a chance for prospects to increase their draft stock. Really, it’s a reward for college graduates who were very successful and decorated football players at the university level that the NFL is interested in. Former Louisville wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick had the opportunity this week, and he certainly made the most of it.
The game itself on Saturday afternoon can be helpful for the prospects. While the practices can be more of an indicator of who is separating themselves, a performance like the one Fitzpatrick had on Saturday certainly is a positive development for him.
