The Senior Bowl took place on January 29th in Mobile, Alabama with the South prevailing over the North in what seemed to be a relatively easy victory, 24-10. There were many questions surrounding Washington Quarterback, Jake Locker, and it looks like none of them were answered. Yes, he does seem like he is a starting Quarterback at the next level, and we know he has amazing athletic ability, but he couldn't throw a touchdown this past weekend and he couldn't seem to hold onto the ball, with two of his fumbles being recovered by his own offensive linemen.
On the other hand, there were a few winners from this weekend's Senior Bowl and practices. Cameron Jordan, DE, Cal has been getting rave reviews about his versatility and non stop motor. The two players who shined in the game itself were, in state rivals, Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State and Leonard Hankerson, WR, Miami. Ponder led multiple scoring drives throwing 2 TD's, with one of those scores going to Hankerson, who finished the day with 5 catches and 100 yards receiving.
These performances may not have landed either player in the first round, but may have very well solidified them a spot at the top of round 2. Depending on their respective combines, Hankerson might find himself as a late first round prospect, and Ponder could see his stock rising and be selected early on day 2 a la Colt McCoy, who many have compared him to.
