Senior Bowl Notebook: Day 2 observations and confirmed meetings with Texans

The 2024 Senior Bowl raged on during Wednesday’s practice and the upcoming class of NFL draft prospects once again shined with opportunities against their peers.

Texans Wire’s own John Crumpler was on the ground to look at potential future additions for the Houston Texans and these were his notes from practice – with a particular focus on wide receivers, defensive linemen, and defensive backs.

Defensive Domination

“Let’s go” was the rallying cry from one of the American Team offensive linemen. It came after a player got firmly up field and was able to make a nice cut to the second level. The only problem?

That play would have been a tackle for loss in a real football setting.

The American Team defensive line dominated practice, both individually and physically for the second day in a row and there are some standouts that certainly would help DeMeco Ryans with his goal of boosting the trenches.

First up, University of Texas defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat is nearly impossible to miss on the field even when next to other large defensive players. He’s listed at 6-foot-4 at this event and declined to weigh in. However, there are certainly no concerns with how he moves that mass once the pads are on.

Sweat’s pure power was constantly on display on Wednesday and there was even when a play when he practically bent Arkansas center Beaux Limmer in half during a one-on-one drill. There are always concerns about the durability and stamina of players with Sweat’s size, but there’s no doubt he’ll make a huge impact at the next level.

Missouri DL Darius Robinson has had some impressive moves during the OL v DL period.

Second day in a row that they’re struggling with LSU’s Jordan Jefferson.
