Two weeks from today, Senior Bowl practices begin in Mobile, Ala. For the 110 or so players who will take part in the event, it’s a tremendous opportunity to stand out amid a talented field of prospects, roughly 80 to 85 percent of whom will end up as NFL draft picks.
But there’s one player whose opportunity appears to be bigger than nearly anyone else’s down there.
Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts is one of five quarterbacks to accept invitations for the event (there will be more to come), but he’s the one who has the greatest chance to see his stock rise or fall during the week’s worth of practices, meetings and the game itself.
