Several big-name 2020 NFL Draft prospects accept Senior Bowl invites

Quarterbacks
Jordan Love, QB, Utah State
It was just announced that Love, along with several other players on the Utah State team were caught with marijuana. This should not have a huge effect on his draft stock, but certainly some teams with overlooking him in the first round because of it.

Love is one of the most talented quarterback prospects in the class; he still has develop his decision making and ability to read coverages, but the arm-talent is there.
Shea Patterson, QB, Michigan
Shea Patterson had some fans headed into the 2019 season, but after a rocky start to his senior year, there were some thoughts out there that he may not even be drafted. Patterson has finished the latter half of the season much better than he did the first half though.
He had great games against Michigan State and Indiana; he had a solid first half against the Buckeye’s, but in the second half he seemed to regress. The Senior Bowl will be huge for Patterson and his draft stock.
Steven Montez, QB, Colorado
Alike Love, Montez has the arm talent, but outside of that, he has a lot of room to grow. Montez has issues with accuracy, to say the least. He struggles to make the easy throws and in the NFL if you can’t hit those it’s going to be hard to see the field.
If he can go out at the Senior Bowl and impress scouts he may be able to slip into day-2, but it’s unlikely after he struggled through his final year.
