The 2025 Senior Bowl officially kicks off this week.
Practices will take place Tuesday through Thursday before the game itself on Saturday.
The Giants will be well-represented at this year's Senior Bowl, as five members of the Giants' coaching staff will serve as coaches at this year's game, including offensive coordinator Mike Kafka serving as one of the head coaches.
Before practices get underway, numerous media outlets released their players to watch at this year's Senior Bowl.
Let's dive right in.
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
"You'll hear his name more, I suspect, during Senior Bowl week. All season long, Membou was Mizzou's most reliable blocker, displaying rare feel for pass blocking for a thickly built athlete. He should measure around 6-foot-3, and his arm length will be a key measurement for scouts, but Membou is very much on the rise."
Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
"Taylor might have been underused as a receiver in his three college seasons, but he has football royalty in his blood as the son of Jason Taylor and the nephew of Zach Thomas, both Pro Football Hall of Famers. Taylor's play speed and run-after-catch ability really could stand out in one-on-one sessions. I think he's being slept on right now."
Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami
"Another catch-first tight end, Arroyo entered 2024 with 11 receptions in three seasons, but QB Cam Ward's arrival helped bring out Arroyo's talent. He averaged nearly 17 yards per catch in 2024, making him a fascinating, late-blooming talent. The TE crop rivals last year's strong group, headlined by Taylor, Arroyo and two others I like, Texas' Gunnar Helm and Bowling Green's Harold Fannin Jr."
Jeffrey Bassa, LB, Oregon
"Overlooked on the Ducks' defense, Bassa successfully converted from safety to linebacker. He has maintained his athleticism and instincts to project to three-down duty if he shows he can take on blockers effectively at the point of attack."
Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
"If you watched the Peach Bowl, you might also have seen Mukuba flash. He made a quality, open-field tackle on Arizona State RB Cam Skattebo (no easy task) and then had a key pass breakup near the goal line at game's end. Mukuba has a great GPS for finding the ball, with quality instincts, athleticism and length."
Quincy Riley, CB, Louisville
"Louisville CB coach Steve Ellis told me he thinks Riley is a four-down player who can play outside on first and second downs, nickel on third downs and punt returner on fourth. With 15 career INTs, Riley has a nose for the ball, and the success of ex-Cardinals Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and Storm Duck suggests that Riley could make a smooth NFL transition. "He's going to rise," Ellis told me."
Marcus Mbow, OL, Purdue
"Mbow is arguably the most athletic lineman in the 2025 class. He played right tackle for the Boilermakers in 2024, but he also played guard in college and projects as a guard in the NFL due to his size (6-5, 300 pounds). He's a natural mover who is an ideal fit for a team that employs zone concepts in its run game. I believe Mbow is a top-50 player in this class due to his fearlessness and tenaciousness, along with his ability to play under control when blocking in space." -- Yates
Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
"Conerly is one of my favorite players in the class, and I can't wait to see how he handles drills and one-on-one pass-rushing situations at the Senior Bowl. The 6-4, 315-pound Conerly has developed into a pure left tackle and has added strength to his quick feet to shoot up draft boards. Conerly is my No. 18-ranked player and has a firm mid-Round 1 grade. I'll be looking to see how his added play power stands up against a deep group of defensive linemen, but there's room for him to rise." -- Miller
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
"He was one of the most impressive prospects I saw in person this past season. At 6-foot-3, 314 pounds, Membou doesn't have prototypical tackle measurements but does have brute strength and good foot quickness. He doesn't get beat cleanly on pass protection reps, and he gave up only one sack in 2024. There will be questions about where Membou will play at the next level, as some evaluators see him as a guard. I think he should be allowed to stay at tackle until he shows otherwise, but this week could be a good indicator of where Membou will ultimately play. In a class without a clear-cut OT1, Membou could position himself as the top offensive lineman in the 2025 draft." -- Reid
Devin Neal, RB, Kansas
"In a class that might have more than 30 running backs drafted, Neal is one of my favorites. At 5-foot-11, 215 pounds, Neal is a stout rusher who provides a versatile threat out of the backfield. He fits multiple schemes, with the ability to be a one-cut-and-accelerate player in zone-based systems while also having the patience and vision to run behind pulling guards in a gap-based run scheme. He's also a natural pass catcher with upside as a receiver out of the backfield. I have a fourth-round grade on Neal, but a strong week of practice could get him into the third round." -- Reid
Clay Webb, OL, Jacksonville State
"Webb originally signed with Georgia out of high school before transferring and finding a home with Jacksonville State. Scouts love his power and positional versatility, as many project him to move to center in the NFL. Like most small-school prospects, the 6-3, 310-pound Webb needs to show the movement skills and strength necessary to match up against top-tier defensive linemen. I'll be watching that this week. If Webb can replicate his tape from the past two seasons, he will be this year's small-school riser." -- Miller
Caleb Rogers, OL, Texas Tech
"My sense is that Rogers is hovering on the late Day 2/early Day 3 border, so this week might be more about solidifying his draft stock and position. The 6-5, 310-pound Rogers started a ton of games at left tackle (18 starts) and right tackle (39) but projects as an interior player in the NFL. His raw power is hard to ignore, and I believe it will show up enough to solidify his top-100 standing." -- Yates
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
"How often is a prospect who had 4.5 sacks in three college seasons discussed as a likely first-round pick? Rarely. But that is what makes the next few months, starting with Senior Bowl week, so important for Stewart. His physical attributes are hard to find. He moves easily for a 6-6, 285-pound player, with strength and explosion that catch your attention. Is he a flash player, or can he develop into a much more consistent rush presence? If he shows the latter in Mobile, it'll be hard for him to last beyond the first 15 to 20 picks." -- Yates
Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
"Green was a sack master for the Thundering Herd off the corner of the defense. But can he hold up against the run at 6-4, 248 pounds? Green will be heavily watched all week, and his weigh-in might be as important as his practice performance. When facing top-end offensive tackles -- especially those known for their run game power -- can Green disengage and make plays? Green was recently in the first round of Mel Kiper's new mock draft but still ranks outside my opening round. This week will answer plenty of questions." -- Miller
Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
"Walker was viewed as a first-round pick entering this season but saw his sack total slip from 7.5 in 2023 to 1.5 this past season. Walker's 6-foot-6, 345-pound frame gives him an alarmingly high pad level, which affects his run defense. His pass-rushing ability isn't in question, but the run defense and pad level must improve to boost his current Round 2 grade. Walker will get an opportunity to show whether his lower-body strength and run defense have improved." -- Reid
Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville
"Once a top recruit, Shough had his college career derailed by injuries, and it wasn't until 2024 that he put a full season on tape. This isn't quite a Brandon Weeden situation, but Shough is already 25 — which will matter more to some teams than others. Having engineered a Louisville offense that averaged 36.6 points per game this season, Shough has access to every inch of the field because of his arm strength and the way the ball explodes off his hand. At 6 feet 4 1/2 and 225 pounds, he looks the part physically, and his functional mobility is an effective club in his bag. Shough can be guilty of lingering on preferred reads at times, but he is always looking to create explosive plays."
Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
"I don't use the word "special" lightly when it comes to NFL prospects, but Milroe is a special athlete, especially at 6-1, 225. He also has a rocket arm and the type of intelligence and character makeup that every NFL team wants in its building. But his consistency as a passer was not a strength this season, especially down the stretch. Considering he'll be throwing to unfamiliar receivers all week, no one is expecting him to be perfect during Senior Bowl practices — but scouts will be looking for consistency and progress. Can he show repeatable footwork and throwing mechanics? Will he have an understanding of which throws should be fastballs and which ones require more touch?"
Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon
"Weighing in at less than 170 pounds, Oregon's Tez Johnson has a very slender frame with play strength concerns. But corners still have to get hands on him or stay in phase to create crowded catch windows, which college defensive backs struggled to do on tape. An electric athlete, Johnson can win vertically or decelerate on command, and he has the balance to break off routes with minimal gear down."
Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
"One of the receivers I'm most eager to see this week is Stanford's Elic Ayomanor, a big, physical athlete with the tools to win over defenders. His tape featured a healthy helping of slants and go routes, but scouts want to see more variety in his patterns during practices. They also want to see him attack defenders at the stem, using sink to transition his weight and create space out of his break."
Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State
"In this draft cycle, Parrish fits the mold as a "don't overthink it" kind of prospect. At right around 5-10, 195, he has big-time speed as a former state champion sprinter (10.47 seconds in the 100 meters) and competes with surprising play strength in all areas. Parrish loves to play press man and challenge receivers, which is even more impressive considering he told me that he "never played cornerback" until he arrived at Kansas State — he was a wide receiver and safety in high school. He will see plenty of those press-man reps during Senior Bowl practices."
Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
"First, I'm interested to see Membou's verified measurements this week. He's listed at 6-3, 315, but what is his official height and length? Though nothing on tape says he can't stay at tackle at the next level, some NFL teams won't budge on their size thresholds, especially for linemen. Second, does the athletic footwork and body control that Membou put on tape translate to one-on-one pass-rush drills? Membou is on the short list of candidates to be the highest-drafted player from this year's Senior Bowl roster."
Jaxon Dart, QB, Ole Miss
"The No. 3 quarterback spot in this year's draft class appears completely up for grabs, so this week in Mobile could go a long way toward settling the pecking order. Dart tossed 29 big-time throws but also racked up 14 turnover-worthy plays in 2024. He flashes the ability to deliver the ball to all three levels, but there is a legitimate concern that Ole Miss' vertical-heavy offense doesn't translate quickly to NFL systems. Regardless, Dart has good size (listed at 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds) and arm strength, and he graded out as the third-best quarterback in college football when kept clean (behind only Cam Ward and Shadeur Sanders) — a stat that has historically proven to be stable."
Jack Bech, WR, TCU
"The Reese's Senior Bowl is always a great showcase for wide receivers, and this year's crop is strong again. Bech, a former tight end currently listed at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, is a unique prospect worth monitoring this week. Bech was a highly productive player while working mostly out of the slot in 2024, as he amassed 64 catches for 1,042 yards and nine scores with just one drop. Not only did he use his frame well on contested balls (catching 14 of 22), but he also impressed with his after-the-catch ability, showing quickness and elusiveness while forcing 18 missed tackles. He looks like a modern big slot receiver and will be coveted by several teams."
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
"Nolen was a dominant run defender in 2024, earning positive PFF grades on 31.7% of run plays, second in the nation to projected top-10 pick Mason Graham. He also tallied 41 pressures, winning with athleticism off the ball and natural brute strength. The interesting thing to watch for in Mobile will be how Nolen takes to coaching each day. He's not extremely refined in terms of hand usage and technique, often relying on brute strength and a natural ability to defeat blockers. If he can refine the technical aspects of his game, he could develop into an excellent three-down interior defender."
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
"Stewart will have many eyes on him this week, as he may be the class of the entire field. At 6-foot-6 and 290 pounds, he shows uncommon explosiveness, speed and fluidity, although he is not a finished product and lacked elite production at Texas A&M. He had his best year against the run in 2024, with an 88.2 PFF run-defense grade while grading positively on 23.8% of reps. The pass-rush side of his game is less developed, as he managed just two sacks and five hits last season, although he did amass 42 pressures. Stewart does show the ability to defeat blockers with skilled hand usage, length and natural strength, which suggests he has the tools to develop into a complete player. Adding to my optimism is his frankly terrifying ability to close on plays from behind in space, which is reminiscent of Calais Campbell in 2007 with Miami."
Andrew Mubuka, S, Texas
"Mukuba transferred to Texas in 2024 after three strong seasons at Clemson and enjoyed a breakout campaign. He earned the third-highest PFF overall grade as a safety this past season, largely due to his prowess in coverage. He surrendered just 11 catches for 77 yards on 24 throws into his primary coverage while racking up six interceptions and six forced incompletions. Mukuba is an explosive and fluid athlete, able to consistently make plays on the ball because of his transitional burst. He always appears to have a mastery of not just his team's scheme, but also offensive route concepts and methodology. His tackling sometimes leaves something to be desired, but he should still impress this week in coverage, which is what the scouts will value most at his position."
Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
"The 2025 NFL Draft class is not as deep at offensive tackle as last year's, so that is an opportunity for players to rise and make a lot of money over the next few months. Conerly's potential has been evident since high school when he was regarded as a five-star recruit. He was playing his best football down the stretch for the Ducks and is now looking to build upon that momentum."
Jaxon Dart, QB, Ole Miss
"Few quarterbacks have the history of production that Dart boasts. Over the course of his career, which began at USC, he has thrown for more than 10,000 yards and 81 touchdowns. Teams will be interested to see how he responds to coaching and how quickly he picks up the offense. Dart will be in that conversation to be the third quarterback off the board."
Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
"Fannin had one of the best seasons by a tight end in college football history. He caught 117 passes for 1,555 yards and 10 touchdowns. The Senior Bowl is important for most prospects from non-Power 4 conferences to see how they will handle that step up in competition. Fannin offered talent evaluators a glimpse into this season as he totaled 19 receptions for 282 yards and two touchdowns against Penn State and Texas A&M."
Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
"Green had some lucrative NIL offers to enter the transfer portal and change schools, according to sources, but his stock potentially rising all the way into the first round made it a no-brainer for him to enter the NFL Draft. Now, he has the chance to show NFL scouts a diverse set of pass-rush moves that resulted in 17 sacks in 2024."
Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
"There is no question that Milroe is the best runner among the top quarterback prospects in this class, but he needs to show that his passing capabilities can reach that same level. He had some big moments this season, but there needs to be a greater level of consistency."
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
"Nolen was on a really talented Texas A&M defensive line a year earlier. Fans unfamiliar will learn about one of those players if they keep reading. Nolen was a national recruit out of Tennessee, but he took the biggest step in his career from 2023 to 2024. In his final collegiate season, he scratched the surface of that potential with 6.5 sacks -- more than he had managed the prior two years combined."
Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
"Scourton is more of a powerful edge rusher than he is nuanced, but those are the rushers having success in today's NFL. The Purdue transfer could be among the first 32 selections after recording 5.0 sacks in his lone season with the Aggies."
Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
"Stewart has not registered more than 1.5 sacks in a season, but the Aggies have asked him to play on the end rather than inside where his 6-foot-6-inch, 290 pound frame suggests. He does have the size and athleticism to provide some positional flexibility at the next level. The former 5-star recruit could hear his name called among the top half of the first round."
Princely Umanmielen, DE, Ole Miss
"Umanmielen has the length that NFL teams covet. There are a number of edge rusher options in this class, but the Florida transfer is the prototype. Umanmielen posted 10.5 sacks and a 20.5% pressure rate, which was first among college football players with at least 250 pass rush snaps last season, according to TruMedia."
Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
"Walker has a unique combination of size and athleticism that will endear him to NFL teams looking for help along the interior defense. His teammate, cornerback Maxwell Hairston, will also be in attendance. Both players have the potential to be among the top-50 selections."
