The issue with all star games. I’m often asked how important are all star games for player evaluation. It’s of limited use. The lack of coordination amongst the players informs you to be cautious about making major evaluation adjustments. Some things are valuable like see an Olineman drive blocking an anchor tackle. Watching a receiver and CB compete for a pass. You can observe body catching though be careful because of the lack of familiarity with throwing style. Other things can be misleading. A bad pass can be a simple lack of time working together. Runners can fail to use blocks because their anticipation is misguided. Pass rushers get through because there is little if any film study of tendencies. Pure speed can be noted and agility. It’s just challenging. I value game study as much more valuable.

I think the practices are far more important than the actual game. You get to see these guys in one on one drills against their peers.

I think Harry's saying that the game film during the season is more valuable than the senior bowl practices, not the senior bowl game film.

Yeah a guy having one bad day could completely skew your view on him. Taking an outsized view of those practices could result in severe over drafting.

I love Tez Johnson as a guy who can create separation and get open.

I had the Cardinals possibly selecting him in the third round of my Way too early 2025 offseason plan.

Texas A&M DL Shemar Turner, a likely Top 50 pick, had to pull out of the Senior Bowl after learning that a stress fracture from camp, that needed a rod inserted into it, never fully healed, sources say. Turner, who played on it all season, was advised to have no impact on his leg for 3-4 weeks to let the bone finally heal. He plans to do Combine interviews and perform at his Pro Day.
