Ckxjy1wH6B- Marcus Mosher February 2, 2022Ģ.) Auburn CB Roger McCreary looks solid despite fears of short arms YIKES! This is a rough rep by Trevor Penning for a few reasons. It was simply not a good first day for a small-school player looking to follow in the footsteps of 2021 second-round offensive tackle Spencer Brown, a former teammate of Penning’s at UNI. So he not only got beat on the rep, he could have seriously injured the unaware player he was meant to protect.
In the video below, Penning gets beat outside and then proceeds to throw the pass rusher into the legs of the quarterback standing behind the drill. He was consistently beat by smaller speed rushers and even had a rep that would make your mother jump. He is smooth in his pass sets while never feeling all that threatened no matter who lined up across from him.ĭespite the hype coming into the Senior Bowl, Penning underwhelmed in his first impression for scouts and coaches in attendance. If you watch Penning’s film, you’ll see a man amongst boys. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler was one of the first draft analysts to pair the Chargers with Penning, a massive and athletic tackle prospect from FCS Northern Iowa. Following the event’s first practice on Tuesday, I wrote up blurbs on three players I think the Chargers could be interested in and how their first impressions ultimately went.ġ.) Northern Iowa (FCS) OT Trevor Penning, mocked to the Chargers in the first round, struggles early So with that in mind, of course we’re going to be keeping a close eye on everything that’s happening down in Mobile this week. The Chargers’ general manager loves players with notable experience and leadership qualities, both of which are needed in order to land an invite to the Senior Bowl. They’ve drafted roughly three to four players each year since 2015 from the lot and I don’t think that’s changing anytime soon under Tom Telesco. It’s that time of year again as the majority of the NFL world descends on Mobile, Alabama to take in the country’s premiere all-star showcase starring the country’s top senior talent.Īs we’ve come to note over the past decade, the Chargers love them some Senior Bowl players.
