Here’s a list of players who made good first impressions with me after watching them practice up close all week at the Senior Bowl.

The North squad left the team hotel Thursday morning for practice at Ladd Peebles Stadium as scheduled, but didn’t stay very long.

Well, now. Here’s something Vikings fans maybe didn’t think about before: their team trading the No. 3 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden, like the rest of us, keeps getting old. Questions about his age, however, do not.

NFL teams interested in drafting Georgia offensive lineman Cordy Glenn will have a decision to make.

Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson is short by NFL standards. A short man’s complex, though, he does not have.

You think being demoted from head coach of Buccaneers to defensive backs coach of the Redskins would have some sort of negative effect on Raheem Morris? Not. At. All.

The first day of padded practices for the Senior Bowl took place Tuesday, providing the first real look at some of the top prospects who will play in Saturday’s showcase game. Here are five observations coming out of the two practice sessions between the North and South teams.

The 114-year old rivalry between the two schools found its way here front and center Tuesday, with Buckeyes center Mike Brewster and Wolverines defensive tackle Mike Martin refusing to back down from each other during contact drills.

When you think about it, Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore isn’t all that different from Tim Tebow when the Broncos’ QB was going through the draft evaluation process in 2010.
