Daniel Jeremiah's standouts from week of practices
Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo
"I'm featuring a former Toledo Rocket on this list for the second year in a row after Alexander followed up Quinyon Mitchell's standout Senior Bowl performance in 2024 with a strong showing of his own in '25. Alexander flashed every day in practice this week. His combination of size and athleticism is really impressive. He has long arms (34 inches) and is a rangy interior defensive lineman. His body type reminds me of Chiefs All-Pro DT Chris Jones."
Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami
"I had Arroyo near the bottom of my Top 50 rankings coming into the week, but I think he's going to leave the Senior Bowl with some first-round buzz. We all knew about his size and speed before he arrived in Mobile -- he showed that during his breakout season with Miami in 2024. The thing that stood out to me in practice this week was his route polish. He blocked well, too. The arrow is pointing all the way up here."
Jeffrey Bassa, LB, Oregon
"Bassa made a bunch of plays in practices this week, but his leadership stood out as much as anything else. I could hear him all the way up in the press box as he directed traffic on the field. He definitely has that alpha mentality at the linebacker position, which is going to help him during the evaluation process leading up to the draft."
Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State
"Farmer battled with another standout on my list -- North Dakota State offensive lineman Grey Zabel (whom I'll get to a little bit later) -- all week long. Farmer's strength and quickness reminded me of Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Keeanu Benton. Farmer showed he can play in any scheme. If you want him to two-gap, he can do that. If you want him to penetrate and get up the field, he has the quickness to do that for you, too. I think he's going to be well-liked across the league as teams do more homework on him in the weeks ahead. I'm already looking forward to seeing what he can do at the NFL Scouting Combine -- he told my colleague Tom Pelissero that he's going to shock a lot of people with his speed in Indianapolis."
Mike Green, Edge, Marshall
"Green looked like a top-20 pick here in Mobile. His play speed off the edge is real, which helps explain why he led the FBS with 17 sacks in 2024. His bull rush against Oregon OT Josh Conerly Jr. during a one-on-one drill had everyone talking this week, but there was more than just that one rep to be excited about. Green showed he can win in a variety of ways."
Maxwell Hairson, CB, Kentucky
"Hairston was one of the buzzy names of the week in Mobile. I really like his ball skills (five INTs in 2023) and he was a big-time competitor in every practice. He helped himself here."
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
"At 6-foot-3, 293 pounds, Nolen's twitch and burst are rare for a player of his size. I still want to see him finish plays a bit more -- that issue showed up on tape and it popped up again when I watched him live this week. That said, there's a lot to dream on with the tools he brings to the table."
Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M
"Here we have a height-weight-speed freak. There was more disruption than production from Stewart during his college career -- he posted just 4.5 sacks in 37 games -- but I thought he had an impactful week in practices. All of his traits are elite and he showed he's starting to figure some things out as a pass rusher."
Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
"Taylor makes it all look so easy, much like his dad -- Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor -- did for so many years in the NFL. Mason Taylor caught the ball well and ran great routes in practices. He's only 20 years old, but he looks like he's going to be ready-made with no assembly required at the next level. I see some similarities to Zach Ertz when he was entering the league back in 2013. Taylor should have a long NFL career."
Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State
"I had Thomas ranked No. 43 in my initial Top 50, and I might have to think about moving him up the board a bit next time given how he performed in practices this week. Like Hairston, Thomas competed every day. I love his length, fluidity and physicality."
Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State
"I knew Williams had good speed, but what impressed me in practice was the polish he showed in his release. He created separation throughout the week and caught the ball well. He's put himself in the mix to be drafted on Day 2 and he should benefit from this receiver class not being quite as strong as others we have seen in recent years. Williams helped himself a lot."
Gray Zabel, IOL, North Dakota State
"Zabel is in consideration for the first round after the way he played this week. He looks like a Day 1 starter. We knew he would be ready to compete at guard and tackle, but he looked really comfortable at center in practices, as well. If you can play every position on the offensive line, that is going to endear you to a lot of GMs and coaches around the league."
Day 2 (Wednesday, January 29) -- Lance Zierlein
Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College
"Ezeiruaku is a very fluid, forward-leaning rusher who uses his hands to work the edges of the rush. In one-on-one drills here in Mobile he showed off his ability to get quick wins with his angles and attack plan at the junction point. In the scrimmage portion, he showed off his ability to use his length to gain separation from blockers to keep from getting swallowed. He was good in Tuesday's practice and kept it up on Wednesday.
There's a reason he was No. 28 in my colleague Daniel Jeremiah's initial Top 50 rankings, and he's only helped himself at the Senior Bowl.
Ezeiruaka is a shorter edge defender at 6-foot-2 1/4, but he has a wingspan of a much taller player (82 3/8 inches). Long arms can be the great equalizer for a player like him. That matters."
Mac McWilliams, CB, UCF
"McWilliams showed off his talent for smothering the break point in his one-on-one battles on Wednesday. He consistently anticipated the route and played physical at the top of the route. He had a good deep-ball rep during the scrimmage portion of practice, as well.
McWilliams transferred from UAB to UCF for the 2024 season, and his UCF tape was very eye-opening after some uneven tape at UAB in 2023. He played outside in college but at 5-10, 181 pounds with good short-area athleticism, a move to the slot shouldn't be a problem for him. His tenacity stood out on Wednesday and helped his cause."
Smael Mondon Jr., LB, Georgia
"Versatility is the name of the game nowadays in the NFL and that is exactly what Mondon offers. He battled a foot injury for chunks of 2023 and 2024, but it didn't look like a problem in Wednesday's practice.
He flashed acceleration and sideline-to-sideline range during the scrimmage portion of the day. He also shined in some of his one-on-one coverage reps that tend to heavily favor the offensive player. In pass-rush drills, Mondon was able to overwhelm running backs who tried to slow him.
He's helped himself here in Mobile, with a strong practice performance pairing nicely with his pedigree and third-down talent."
Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami
"The first thing that stood out to me about seeing Restrepo in person was how well built he is for a shorter slot target. He measured 5-9 3/8 with short arms but at 200 pounds, he's proving in practice that he can play through contact and get through his route.
His lack of length and speed will limit the way teams deploy him in terms of target depth, but he's showing that he can get in and out of his breaks against the coverage in Mobile. He's finding passing windows for whomever is playing quarterback. The traits aren't ideal, but his play on tape and in Mobile stamp him as a player who can become a quality slot target."
Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M
"There might not be a player here who looks the part quite like Stewart. He checked in at just over 6-5 and 281 pounds with a wingspan that nearly touched seven feet. The knock on Stewart is that despite his elite traits and explosive athletic ability, he simply doesn't have much sack production (4.5 in three seasons).
On Wednesday, Stewart's rush potential was on full display. He was able to win in one-on-one matchups with a powerful bull-rush that rolled the tackle back deep into the pocket. In the scrimmage portion, he was able to get into the pocket with power and an edge attack around the corner. I saw some of the same inconsistency that shows up on his game tape.
Teams grade and draft a prospect's traits and flashes, and there was no shortage of flashes from Stewart on Wednesday."
Day 1 (Tuesday, January 28) -- Lance Zierlein
Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami
"One of the things I had to weigh in my evaluation of Arroyo heading into this week was a major knee injury that limited him to just 11 total games during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He was a heralded recruit coming into Miami, but he made just 11 catches from 2021 to 2023.
It looked like his athleticism and speed improved as the 2024 season wore on, and Arroyo validated that on Tuesday, looking fluid and fast in one-on-one drills when matched up against linebackers and cornerbacks. He ran routes with good leverage and frequently created separation at the top of his route.
Despite his relatively modest career snap count and production, Arroyo's flashes in Tuesday's practice highlighted his potential and the reason my colleague Daniel Jeremiah included him in his initial ranking of the draft's top 50 prospects."
Jack Bech, WR, TCU
"There are always prospects I'm excited to see compete at the Senior Bowl after studying them on tape, and Bech was one of the players at the top of my list this year. He measured in at just over 6-foot-1 and 214 pounds in Mobile, but his hands measured smaller than I expected (just under nine inches) for a receiver who almost never drops the football.
Not only did Bech show off those sticky mitts on Tuesday with the way he snared throws outside his frame but he also got after blocking responsibilities heads-up and on toss cracks. He was the same player that I saw on tape, which should help him this draft season. The 40-yard dash still awaits this spring to help him answer the last big question I have about his game."
Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss
"Nolen is my top-rated defensive tackle in this year's draft class because of his explosiveness and productivity on all three downs.
In Tuesday's practice, Nolen stormed through his one-on-one matchups. He consistently was able to get on top of blockers with a big burst off the snap and pushed them into the pocket with relative ease. There were some up-and-down reps during the scrimmage phase, but overall, Nolen did what he needed to do maintain his standing."
Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State
"Royals is a big, strong wideout who measured in at just under 6-feet tall and 210 pounds at the Senior Bowl. On tape, what stood out most about him was the way he attacked the position like a pro. That was once again the case throughout practice on Tuesday.
He's going to have a size/strength advantage against almost every defensive back covering him this week, but it was the way he ran his routes with efficiency and created throwing windows that impressed me. He played inside and outside at Utah State but projects as a tough possession slot in the NFL."
Grey Zabel, IOL, North Dakota State
"North Dakota State had an offensive lineman drafted in the first four rounds for three straight years from 2021 to 2023 (Cody Mauch, Cordell Volson, Dillon Radunz). I expect Zabel to join them in that club this year. He has taken snaps at each spot on the offensive line, but he really stood out at both guard and center during Tuesday's practice.
He displayed good core strength and an impressive anchor in one-on-one matchups against powerful interior rushers. He has shorter arms but a good build and the potential to add a few more pounds on his frame. Zabel's ability to offer position flexibility and pass protection value will push him up the board if he continues to play well this week."
NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah released his initial ranking of the top 50 prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft.
