2023 Senior Bowl: Day 2 Updates

In this story:
The second set of Senior Bowl practices will be televised on Wednesday afternoon.
ESPNU will broadcast practice from Mobile, Ala., from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
ESPN2 will resume coverage of the second practice of the afternoon from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Ohio State offensive tackle Dawand Jones generated the most buzz on Day 1 of practices.
Standing at 6-foot-8 and weighing 359 pounds, talent evaluators marveled at his ability to drive back talented defensive linemen all afternoon.
His 89.5 inch wing span represents the longest ever measured at the Senior Bowl.
If his level of play continues, Jones could find himself quickly moving up NFL teams' draft boards.
More: Twitter Reacts to Hendon Hooker Chatting with Detroit Lions
Locally, Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Hendon Hooker chatting with Lions assistant general manager Ray Agnew caught the attention of supporters.
Speaking with reporters, the talented quarterback expressed he would relish any opportunity to develop under an established NFL starter.
"I'd be ecstatic. It's a blessing to be in this position that I'm in. Not a lot of people get to be in this position," Hooker told reporters, when asked about the potential of waiting to become a starter. "So, either way it goes, I'm gonna come in, be a sponge, soak up all the information that I can, learn. And, when it's my time to go on the field, I'm gonna take advantage of my opportunity."

6’1”, 216lb WRs aren’t supposed to move with the suddenness that Michael Wilson (bottom) can move with.

He needs to refine how he handles contact, but there’s a lot to like in his game. Scouts at the #SeniorBowl have to be wondering what their WR Coaches could do with him. pic.twitter.com/61wc83LN3H
Standard WR Mike Wilson picking up where he left off yesterday. Very crisp & polished. Start & stop is great. Doing well for himself out here. #SeniorBowl
