Local prospects impress: Michigan wide receiver Nico Collins and Western Michigan wide receiver D'Wayne Eskridge both had good first days for the National Team at the Senior Bowl Tuesday. Collins, who opted out of the 2020 season, showed terrific ability to get off the line of scrimmage and gain separation. His best catch of the day was a toe-tapping 25-yard gain showing off terrific body control along the right sideline in a team drill.
Eskridge showed off his world class speed and ability to stop and get to full speed in a couple steps. He had a great catch and spin move in a one-on-one drill to leave a corner in his dust. Good start to the week for both players.
QB attention: This is a great class of quarterbacks here in Mobile, led by Alabama's Mac Jones. The Lions could be in the market for one in this year's NFL Draft. I thought the most impressive of the bunch Tuesday was former Wake Forest and Georgia signal caller Jamie Newman, who opted out of the 2020 season.
Newman had a good grasp of the offense, and solid mechanics and footwork with good zip on the ball. He also dropped a couple of beautifully thrown deep balls right in the bread basket in one on ones. The American Team QBs were much more impressive than the National Team QBs on Tuesday, and I thought Newman had a really good day.
