Shrine Bowl Notebook: Miles Sanders' college teammates knew the running back would be an exceptional rookie - PhiladelphiaEagles.com

Who stood out at the Shrine Bowl practices?

Fran and I recorded episodes of the Journey to the Draft podcast, driven by AAA, after each day of practice. We invited media members in attendance to offer their perspectives of who were the most impressive players in St. Petersburg.

Benjamin Solak, The Draft Network after Day 1:

1. DT Khalil Davis, Nebraska: "Davis showed some really impressive bend for a guy. He's squatty and thick. The hands are super active. They're really powerful. ... I didn't see him have a rep where he looked like he was out of place or confused or outmatched physically."

2. G Kevin Dotson, Louisiana: "This is a powerful dude in a phone booth. When he gets hands on you, he's winning."

3. CB Neville Clarke, Central Florida: "This guy is a bully. He's huge and unkind. Clarke's taking the fight to the receivers and you love to see that."

4. DE Derrek Tuszka, North Dakota State: "We're checking boxes for an FCS player. You're hanging on with FBS guys, with the top FBS guys, and it seems like if we add some more mass, he'll continue to grow."

5. DE Alex Highsmith, Charlotte: "Highsmith looks stronger than these guys from the jump. He looks like the guy from a Power 5 program. He looks like the guy who was the high recruit."

Bo Wulf, The Athletic after Day 2:

1. G Kevin Dotson, Louisiana: "He's been my favorite player through two days."

2. WR John Hightower, Boise State: "I know Eagles fans are looking for receivers with juice. There's only one guy here who I think has been able to separate and show speed."

3. LB Mykal Walker, Fresno State: "He moves well. He looks to me like more of an NFL-caliber athlete than the other linebackers."

4. RB Adrian Killins, Central Florida: "I see a lot of juice from him and as the man who invented Boston Scott; I feel like I can speak with some authority."

5. DT Bravvion Roy, Baylor: "That's like my favorite type of player, a real squatty defensive tackle. Reminds me a little bit of Brandon Williams from the Senior Bowl a couple of years ago."

Emory Hunt, Football Gameplan after Day 3:

1. G Kevin Dotson, Louisiana: "Every time you see a big run coming behind that right side, it's because he's cleared an expressway and I've also been impressed with what he's done in one-on-ones where it's really hard for an offensive lineman to have success in general."

2. WR Aaron Parker, Rhode Island: "Toughness. You see how it is out there in Philly with the receiving corps. You've got to be mentally tough, number one, but also physically tough and he fits the mold."

3. CB Luq Barcoo, San Diego State: "It's never a full all-star game season till you see a San Diego State cornerback stand out. Barcoo has been excellent. He's a click-and-close-type guy, active and aggressive in the hip pocket."

4. QB Tyler Huntley, Utah: "He compares his game to (Aaron) Rodgers, (Teddy) Bridgewater, and (Lamar) Jackson. Rodgers because he could make throws off the all different platforms. Bridgewater because he's been through a lot. He's calm. He likes his demeanor. And Jackson because he makes plays. So I was like, that's a unique answer. And people sleep on his accuracy."

5. QB Kevin Davidson, Princeton: "I thought he was the best quarterback on the East team. I thought he threw the football really well."
