Re: DJ Invited to the Senior Bowl

That's fantastic. The Senior Bowl is the top college all star game, from an NFL standpoint. It's months away, but keep an eye on the reports coming from the practices during the week. That's where the scouts and coaches will judge DJ against his peers.

The game is in a week and a half (Sat. 1/24) at 3 p.m., shown on the NFL network.
specific rosters will be announced this Friday.

I've seen a lot of Tweets from guys scouting at the East-West Shrine Game.

Sounds like Xavier Williams has been showing really well down there.

My husband reads everything he can find related to the NFL and he read a lot about Xavier last night. Said the same thing. Sounds like he's doing awesome.

Good to read this. It's how he plays in the practices that really matter, not so much the game. The practices are how scouts will judge him against his peers, conduct interviews, etc. Unless something has changed, most scouts and personel guys actually leave town prior to the game starting. Same with the Senior Bowl.

You're correct.

The game is a bone they throw to the host city to get people into town and get some TV coverage for their CVB.

I see the East West game is on. Has anyone seen if X has been in yet?

Yes, X has been in on about half of the plays on D and has looked pretty good. Mike Mayock had some nice things to say about him following one of his tackles.

Re: DJ Invited to the Senior Bowl

Announcers referred to X as being a flash this week that people were talking about. They referred to Crockett as "a big talker."
