Senior Bowl practices have officially concluded in Mobile, and the last day of practice showcased several standout performances from both teams. These are the hidden stars from Day 3 at the Senior Bowl.

Among all linebackers who don’t have the ball, Sirmon had the most impressive day in terms of exciting plays. He anticipated South Alabama quarterback Carter Bradley’s moves perfectly during team drills, intercepting a pass and almost securing an interception. Later on, he caught a high-speed throw from Joe Milton in the end zone.

Sirmon also showcased his skills during one-on-one matchups against running backs. When it comes to coverage, he made a strong statement today.

Out of all the running backs in Mobile, Davis can argue that he is the most powerful runner among them. As someone from a smaller school, he appears determined to prove himself with every opportunity. Throughout the week, he performed well in one-on-one battles against linebackers and showed great effort in team drills.

Davis is projected to be picked on day three, but he made a significant impression this week by approaching each play as if it could make or break him.

Baker had an impressive session of one-on-one matchups on Thursday, ending with a touchdown in the back left corner of the end zone. He outjumped the cornerback in coverage, showcasing his skills.

Baker is expected to be picked on day two, but he hasn’t received as much attention as other receivers in this class or even at the Senior Bowl. The focus over the past few days has been on Malachi Corley and Brenden Rice. However, Baker has been consistently impressive. This was one of the few standout plays of the week, but he hasn’t made any major mistakes, which is more than can be said for many other players in his position this week. I’m excited to see how he performs throughout the rest of the draft process.
