Now that the 2020 Reese’s Senior Bowl is in the books, it’s time to shine the spotlight on players who boosted their 2020 NFL Draft stock.

The 2020 Reese’s Senior Bowl is over but the game only tells a small tale. Draft stock is rated during the week and there were plenty of guys who saw their 2020 NFL Draft stock rise. The Senior Bowl proved the 2020 NFL Draft has arguably the deepest wide receiver class in years. Though it didn’t hurt that the defensive backs in Mobile left something to be desired.

However, there were a few players that made the list. While Darnay Holmes from UCLA didn’t, he was a player who earned some buzz as a guy who can match up against big slots and tight ends. A small school guy, Georgia Southern’s Kindle Vildor, also made a name for himself with a pick and forcing a potential touchdown reception out of bounds in Saturday’s game.

The offensive linemen helped themselves out as well. Logan Stenberg, an offensive guard from Kentucky, gave a much-needed boost to a weak draft class. Houston offensive tackle Josh Jones gave his quarterbacks all day to throw once the 6-7, 310-pound tackle got settled in.

There were some backs who made a name for themselves like Lamical Perine, who continues to impress and earn recognition as a potential bell-cow back. Antonio Gibson, the do-it-all running back from Memphis, was another running back who made some money proving he could run between the tackles. Of course, most of the buzz surrounds the signal-callers.

Justin Herbert solidified himself as a top 10 pick. Jordan Love couldn’t get much going and Jalen Hurts didn’t have enough time on Saturday to help or hurt himself. His tenacity was evident and he’ll hear his name called in the third or fourth-round pick.

Quarterbacks set to the side though, let’s take a look at 11 standouts from the Senior Bowl — both the practices and the game — who raised their stock for the 2020 NFL Draft.
