Stampede Blue
Lee Hunter came to Mobile for one thing and one thing only, to take the souls of the poor interior Offensive Linemen who decided to still go to Mobile this year. Whether it was in drills or on 11 on 11s, Hunter was not contained on double teams at the Senior Bowl.
Some very impressive wins against the run and the pass, Hunter’s power and fluidity for his size are a treat to watch. Hunter was widely expected to be a top 50 pick, but with a dominant Senior Bowl start he could be getting some Round 1 consideration.
Jacas was one of the more dominant DEs of the day in a practice session filled with edge rushers. His 1 on 1 reps inside and outside were fun watches, getting the better of one of the best interior OL of the day in Florida’s Jake
He also had a strip sack in 11 on 11s against Nussmeier. While Defensive Linemen were instructed to not hit or sack QBs in practice for this all star game, Jacas found a loophole by hitting the ball out of his hands (and only making contact with the ball) mid-throwing motion. Strip sacks aren’t just a random occurrence for Jacas either, as he had 3 in 2025 and 6 in his career, thriving at attacking the ball. Winning on with the bend and flexibility he showed on that practice rep for a player his size (270 lbs.) is not as common, so it was fun to see his playmaking ability in person.
Jacas’ versatility could help separate him from some of the other many Day 2 Defensive Ends in the class; likely earning him Early Round 2 consideration after a strong day of practice.
Perhaps the winner of the funniest rep of the night: Qunitayvious Hutchins snatched Austin Barber’s ankles and got an untouched rush on 11 on 11s.
Besides that rep, the 230 lb. Hutchins also beat his Boston College teammate Jude Bowry around the edge to force a QB step up as well. There were some flashes of run stopping ability as well, with Hutchins shooting through gaps low to make a stop or two in the backfield. He even wrapped up some Tight Ends in coverage, keeping with them well and contesting some catches.
His size and lack of sacks (5.5 last 2 years) will turn some teams away, but with his speed and burst flashing on tape the last two seasons and interesting coverage ability will appeal to 3-4 scheme teams looking for a rotational speed rusher who can potentially drop into coverage on Day 3.
Gennings Dunker was one of the few Offensive Linemen who consistently shined on Day 1 against the waves of talented Defensive Linemen in Mobile. One of his biggest questions heading into the week was how he would look when lined up inside,...
