Graduate All-Star Game Tracker

Question: How much do these games influence NFL scouts? The Under Armor and Army AA games play a huge role on high school recruits' rankings and offers. But I don't have any sense what these senior bowls do for the draft. I do recall some of our former graduates getting attention and press, but not whether it bumped them up at all.

They play a big role for certain prospects...

Part of the reason why the Cowboys picked Dak was because their staff worked directly with him during Senior Bowl practices, same with Russell Wilson with the Seahawks...

Scouts pay close attention to how these guys work in practice, what they do in the game isn't necessarily that big of deal unless they just play horrible... But, how they handle the week of practices looms big in their evaluation, along with the Combine.

I saw that. I think he's been playing with an injury for most of the season - I was surprised he accepted the invite in the first place.

So was it bad behavior or injury?

Jamal Carter has been playing pretty well in the Shrine game thus far, he's been in as the starting SS.

Ladarius Gunter benefited greatly from his practice and play in the bowl game he participated in.

IIRC, it was the Senior Bowl & you're right he got a good eval coming from Scouts after that.

Carter looked alright, although he had a fumble fall right in front of him again and didn't fall on it again
