The 2021 Reese’s Senior Bowl rosters have been revealed; meaning draft fans will be clamoring to see these players in action against some of the most talented seniors in the country. Every year, the Senior Bowl helps lesser known players boost their draft stock and show how they can be coached by NFL coaching staffs. Every year, it seems like there are certain players who just outright dominate the week. This article will, hopefully, be able to point out who some of those 2021 NFL Draft prospects might be.

From a Heisman Trophy hopeful quarterback, to one of the better offensive tackle groups to be at the senior bowl in recent history; this group has some real talent stacked throughout each position. While some positions have more to prove than others, one thing we can be sure of is that we will be seeing some good football being played during Senior Bowl week.

Some players are trying to get their names on NFL radars a bit more, while others are simply trying to increase their draft stock to push them into the upper rounds of the draft. This week is going to make or break a lot of player’s draft cycles. The players included in this article are going to be some of the most exciting players to watch.

Whether that means pure entertainment value, or if the excitement comes from just watching how they perform. These players can make themselves some real money this week.

1. Marvin Wilson, DT, Florida State

Marvin Wilson fits a lot of potential senior bowl categories. One of them being an exciting player to watch, as well as one player who has a lot to gain. However, I feel like those categories go hand in hand. Coming into the season, a lot of people loved Marvin Wilson’s tape.

People were expecting him to be the cream of the crop for the interior defensive line class, but that didn’t go as expected. This season, Marvin Wilson was inconsistent, underwhelming and ended his season with an injury. However, the Senior Bowl can help him out.

The excitement around Marvin Wilson’s appearance is the fact that he has a lot to gain from this week in Mobile. His inconsistencies this season can be erased by a dominant performance at the Senior Bowl. Wilson has a motor that always runs hot and has the ability to be a well rounded interior defensive lineman who can play on all three downs.

Marvin Wilson has the strength and technique to dominate in the one on one drills, which means he will grab the attention of just about everyone watching. Those reps are always fun to watch, and when a player is dominating them, it is nothing but exciting to watch.
