Finding Broncos: 8 Under-The-Radar Senior Bowl Prospects

In this story:


The week of practices is underway, with the Senior Bowl on February 4. NFL teams have scouts, coaches, and front-office members working hard to scout the next group of draft prospects. 

This is a highly talented year at the Senior Bowl, but a few prospects are still flying under the radar. Here are eight that make sense for the Denver Broncos

National Offense

Cody Mauch | OL | North Dakota State

Mauch was an offensive tackle in college but will kick inside for the NFL. He is one of the better offensive linemen in the class, but he is not getting the attention that others are. 

If Macuh can show a strong transition to the inside while having the versatility to play outside for emergency purposes in the NFL, his stock should rise. 

Josh Whyle | TE | Cincinnati 

This is a strong class, and Whyle is one of the better options in it He has shown good receiving ability while also showing potential as a blocker. During the week of practices, showing improved footwork when blocking could really benefit him.

American Offense

Andrei Iosivas | WR | Princeton

Not many know Iosivas, but he is starting to garner more attention. He dominated his college competition but faces much tougher competition at the Senior Bowl. If he can show that he can win against better competition, it will significantly help his stock. Showing better blocking on the outside also can help him out. 

Nathaniel Dell | WR | Houston

Dell is an explosive receiver hindered by role and injuries in college. He doesn't have an ideal size, but his playmaking ability is great, and he can do it as a returner. This can be a big week for him to showcase his playmaking ability while answering questions about how limiting his size/frame could be. 

National Defense

Jartavius Martin | DB | Illinois

Martin has the versatility to play a deep safety role while dropping into the slot and holding his own. He doesn't have the best short-area quickness but makes up for it with his awareness and feel. As a result, this is a good opportunity to answer most of the concerns about his game while showing off his strengths. 

Karl Brooks | DL/Edge | Bowling Green

Brooks is starting to get some attention entering the week, and he can thrive and stand out during the practices. His production is great, and he has good technique and heavy hands, but he needs to be less boom-or-bust as a player. Not only can he show that consistency, but he can also show some looseness with his movements. 

American Defense

Jammie Robinson | S | Florida State

If Robinson can show more range as a deep safety, he can significantly boost his stock. Another area he can help himself is by showing some ball skills that are not there on tape consistently. However, there are no questions about his mobility and versatility while also being a reliable tackler. 

Isaiah McGuire | DL/Edge | Missouri

McGuire has a relentless motor that shines with the physical traits he has. He is also a strong run defender, which should help him stand out during the week of practices. Showing more control and better ability to finish while showing he has the technique to make up for less-than-ideal athleticism for an edge rusher can help him.
