Ragin' Cajun Senior Bowl Participants

[CajunAmos]

For those intested, the NFL network is covering the Senior Bowl, which includes the game on Saturday as well as two practices a day and a night time recap from Monday through Thursday. Just to wet the appetite a little;

Dwight "Bill" Bentley

I also thought it interesting that a number of tweets came out about a number of guys from Alabama and LSU not measuring up to the weight/height information that the schools listed for them.

Below is the NOLA.com article by James Varney about the discrepancies in measurable's with Alabama & LSU guys.

Haha, I was gonna post the same thing. Peewee should have fun catching balls this week

Sun Belt put 4 total in the game. ASU LB Demario Davis and Troy OL James Brown are the others.


Mobile area article about it with quotes from Peewee:

Bill measured in at 5'9 7/8 176 lbs
LG measured in at 6'5 3/4 238 lbs

Good catch, I was looking to see how accurately we list players. That NOLA article above was pretty funny wrt Marquis Maze's height being more than 2" off. Not too much inflation:

Bill lists at 5-11 179
Green at 6-6 236

LG is about as accurate as you can get without being perfect.

More in depth:

Ladarius Green (Note he was tallest, biggest wingspan and biggest hands of all 6 TE's)
Ht 6'5¾
Wt 237
Arm 32⅞
Hands 10
Wingspan 81¾
Notes: Condor Arms! Thin but muscular and athletic. Room for bulk.

Dwight Bentley
Ht 5'9⅞
Wt 176
Arms 29½
Hands 7⅞
Wingspan 70⅞
Notes: Awfully thin with average muscle definition.

Only about 75 miles for me. Asked my B-in-law and nephew tonight if they wanted to go. Said hell yes. They are still pumped about the time they had at the NOLA bowl.

Hope the weather is better than the last time the 3 of us went to Senior Bowl a couple years ago. Would have been a great day for duck hunting.

Little more love (for Peewee esp.):

Mike Mayock's top prospects by position:

Tight Ends
1. Dwayne Allen*, Clemson
2. Coby Fleener, Stanford
3. Orson Charles*, Georgia
4. Ladarius Green, Louisiana-Lafayette
5. Michael Egnew, Missouri

Fleener declined a Sr. Bowl invite, so Green is his top TE in Mobile

Also, a Day 1 South team practice report (http://www.rookiedraft.com/?p=5305):

↑ LADARIUS GREEN - TE - LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE: The big man had a terrific outing at Fairhope, showing off terrific ball skills and agility that defies his super sized frame. Green twice made plays on overthrown passes in the skeleton drill portion and dominated in the seven on seven drills. He made a wicked catch on an underthrown pass that was directly over Texas linebacker Keenan Robinson’s head but the impressive part is that he made the catch look easy and quickly went upfield for more yards. Green was a runner up for the star of day one award just behind Adams but regardless, he’s going to do a lot for his draft stock if he keeps up his stellar play.

↑ DWIGHT “BILL” BENTLY - CB - LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE: I have to credit Scott Wright of Draftcountdown.com for being one of the first to tip me off on Bently but I should also credit Bently for making it blatantly clear today that he’s a player. He consistently drew praise from Raheem Morris, the Redskins’ new defensive backs coach, and for good reason, thanks to his physical play and great instincts in coverage. He intercepted a Nick Foles throw on a pass intended for Jeff Fuller who was running a curl route but Bently actually beat him on the outside to cut the angle and take the football back the other direction. If there was a defensive MVP of day one, it would have to go to “Bill” Bently from my view of the sidelines.

Also, if you search for him on twitter, there are a lot of people drooling over him; fans, mock sites, and others included.
