5 Senior Bowl players who saw their stock rise or fall
The Senior Bowl is in the books, with the North side claiming a 34-13 victory in Alabama.
But no one will remember the result of the game, and the players that come away as the real winners and losers will be those who scored points in the eyes of scouts and NFL teams, or hurt their draft stock.
Here are five players who saw their stock rise or fall in Saturday's Senior Bowl.
Risers
Blake Sims, QB, Alabama (SOUTH)
Sims may not have walked away with a solid stat line, completing only four of his 11 pass attempts, but he showed off his elusiveness, and drew some comparisons to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson for his ability to keep his eyes downfield while evading the rush.
Tyler Varga, RB, Yale
Varga was already expected to get selected somewhere in the later rounds of the NFL draft, but he might be hearing his name a little sooner after his performance Saturday. Varga turned his seven touches into 70 yards, adding a pair of touchdowns, and the NFL Network broadcast crew was complimentary of his speed and shiftiness.
Nick Marshall, CB, Auburn (SOUTH)
Marshall made the move from quarterback to cornerback this week, and he's looked good after making that switch. He held his own in his first official game against real opponents, and his ability to fill the role of emergency quarterback had to be attractive to pro teams with limited roster spots.
Fallers
Bryan Bennett, QB, SE Louisiana (SOUTH)
Bennett drew rave reviews for his work during the week. There's no doubting the former Oregon backup's ability to sling the pigskin, but his accuracy is a concern. In his first game against quality opposition in quite some time, Bennett completed only half of his passes and tossed two interceptions.
Tom Obarski, K, Concordia (NORTH)
With Roberto Aguayo of Florida State returning to Tallahassee for another year of school, it's possible there won't be a single kicker selected in this year's draft. Obarski certainly didn't help his cause by missing a pair of kicks, bringing back concerns over his ability to connect consistently.
