MOBILE, Ala. — The 2021 Reese’s Senior Bowl will understandably have a different flavor this year. The media will be limited to a certain degree regarding interaction with players, personnel members and staff. The one-on-one conversations and the connections gained about the week may not be as prevalent compared to usual.

However, one thing remains constant: The rosters are loaded with talent.

In a mission to recruit the best talent with notable buzz coming from NFL front offices and scouting departments, Senior Bowl Executive Director Jim Nagy enters his third year with maybe his best roster yet.

During his two-year stint of taking over operations, 186 players that participated in the Senior Bowl have been drafted with 80 being selected within the first three rounds. That marks the best two-year draft record in the event’s 72-year history.

Headlined by a handful of Alabama offensive linemen, productive college quarterbacks and some promising non-FBS prospects, it seems that Nagy and company will continue to extend their impressive draft record.

A quick look at the top players at the 2021 Reese’s Senior Bowl*

Top QB: Mac Jones, Alabama

Consistent passer with requisite size and arm strength. Accurate deep ball thrower with understanding of coverages at all areas of the field. 

Next in line: Jamie Newman, Wake Forest/Georgia

Top RB: Najee Harris, Alabama

Physical specimen with above average vision. Impressive acceleration with athleticism to make any cut or football move. Best receiving running back in the class.

Next in line: Michael Carter, North Carolina

Maybe the best short area quickness/explosiveness in the class, regardless of position. Consistent performer in space and can make anything happen with the ball in his hands.

Smooth route runner with understanding of coverages. Thirty-four percent of his career receptions accounted for more than 15 yards.

Next in line: Kenny Yeboah, Ole Miss

Burly built player with pop and tremendous upper body power. Inconsistent 2020 season but has the physical attractiveness in the run game and calm pass blocking skillset.

Smooth kick with above average strength. Moves well in space and plays calm versus speed. Length to play tackle.

Next in line: Dillon Radunz, North Dakota State

Mostly always the first one off the line. Accompanies quickness with hand usage and appropriate pad level.

Sideline to sideline speed with ability to quickly unlock hips and attack. Plays well at the point of attack.

Next in line: Chazz Surratt, North Carolina

Top CB: Ambry Thomas, Michigan

Gritty press corner with physical attributes. Plays well at the line of scrimmage and plays with the needed hip fluidity to turn and run.
