The 2020 Senior Bowl is hours away from kicking off, and the New Orleans Saints will be watching. Recent draft prospects they’ve selected who stood out in the collegiate all-star game include defensive end Marcus Davenport, who sacked quarterback Baker Mayfield early in the game and later returned a fumble 19 yards for a defensive touchdown. Wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith scored the first points in that 2018 game with a 14-yard touchdown reception.
Of course, just showing out in this exhibition game doesn’t mean the Saints will draft a prospect. But it obviously leaves an impression; they’ve drafted at least one participant in the first three rounds in each of the last five years, and often grabbed two.
