Just a Minute: Who's in Mobile Representing the Crimson Tide at the Senior Bowl?

The NFL draft gets kicked off in April, but the process begins right now as Senior Bowl week is underway in Mobile.

There are prospects from all over the country descending on lower Alabama, but only three catch our attention as former Crimson Tide stars.

Kicker Will Reichard, defensive lineman Justin Eboigbe and edge Chris Braswell are all putting their skills on display this week. All three players are strong NFL prospects, but each could improve their standings in the eyes of talent evaluators with strong performances this week.

Who stands to earn the biggest raise this week? Reichard, who leaves college football as the all-time leading points scorer in NCAA history, is looking to cement himself as one of the top kickers in the class. There were only three kicker drafted last year, meaning spots are limited, but the Hoover product has shown uncanny consistency throughout his collegiate career. Can Reichard show scouts the proper leg-power this week to earn himself a real NFL opportunity?

In the span of 16 months Eboigbe went from not knowing if he would ever play football again to a mid-round lock in April's upcoming draft. The versatile defensive lineman is currently considered an early day three pick, but a strong week could bump him into the third round.

The Crimson Tide should have at least four first round draft picks in Dallas Turner, Kool-Aid McKinstry, Terrion Arnold and JC Latham. Braswell could make it five as the edge-rusher is considered an early second round selection.

The Senior Bowl has its game on Saturday, but more importantly has meetings and practice time between the prospects and professional scouts. While it's not as high profile as year past have been for Alabama fans, the NFL draft still starts in Mobile.
