Diving into who is slinging the rock down in Mobile this week
With the entire league taking a break from the playoffs, this week is all about the 2025 NFL Draft as the Senior Bowl gets going. Practices start on Tuesday afternoon which means the Las Vegas Raiders will have an opportunity to get a closer look at a handful of quarterback prospects.
Below is some information on each quarterback slinging the rock down in Mobile, including an excerpt and link to a scouting report.
One note, despite previously accepting the invite, it was announced last week that Ohio State’s Will Howard will skip the Senior Bowl this year after the short turnaround with the College Football National Championship.
Dart is one of the bigger names in Mobile as many Raider fans have been asking about him recently. He has plenty of arm talent and is athletic to make plays with his legs. However, the former Rebel has questionable processing skills. So, this week will be a good opportunity to show how quickly he can pick up a new offense and show improvement when it comes to throwing with anticipation.

“Overall, Jaxson Dart has a good physical skill set to be an effective starting quarterback,’ B/R’s Dame Parson wrote. “His ability to change up the speeds of his passes will translate well to the league. He is more than willing to take the check down underneath. Dart will need time to learn and adapt to an NFL offensive system. Live game reps will potentially be needed to develop his processing quickness.”
Gabriel is the opposite of Dart as he wins with great reads and impressive timing while lacking ideal size and arm strength. That doesn’t come as much of a surprise seeing as the Oregon product has spent six years as a starter in college. This week will primarily be about showing scouts how his physical tools aren’t/won’t be an issue at the next level for Gabriel.

“Gabriel is a timing and rhythm quarterback who thrives targeting the short and intermediate areas of the field,” Parson wrote. “He is a spot thrower who can pick apart zone defenses when kept clean in the pocket. Gabriel plays with good poise and calmness inside the pocket, stepping up to avoid collapsing edge pressure. He throws a catchable ball with a combination of velocity and touch. Due to his litany of snaps/experience, the game has slowed down for him, and he can play at maximum speed.”
Arguably the most intriguing and entertaining quarterback at the Senior Bowl, Milroe combines a rocket arm with impressive rushing ability to create explosive plays. His mechanics are...
