Practices for the 2025 Reese's Senior Bowl have been completed. Watching the week of practice gives you a lot of information on what prospects will be moving forward.
With that said, the big thing with these practices is to give context on each player for when you go back and cross-check the tape. This is especially important for players who played at a lower level of competition, as this will even things out.
The wide receiver group was relatively underwhelming compared to previous years, but there were still some impressive standouts.
TCU WR Jack Bech
The calendar year of 2025 didn't start very well for Bech, as his older brother Tiger passed away being a hero during the bombings in New Orleans on New Year's Day. Because of that fact, Bech wore the number seven, which his brother wore at the University of Princeton.
Outside of that, Bech took to the field with a vengeance. He was dominant throughout the week, catching everything that came his way, whether the throw being a good one or difficult to catch. Bech has raised his profile quite a bit over the week, potentially a day-two pick.
Oregon WR Tez Johnson
Drafting a historically small wide receiver isn't something you want to do very often. They rarely hit, but because we saw Tank Dell hit as a third-round pick with the Houston Texans, teams will have evidence that it could work.
Johnson took advantage of that tenfold and was excellent all week. He was getting open and creating a lot of separation with ease across the board. The tough part about quantifying his production is his size, which is a massive outlier. At 5', 9", and 156 lbs, that's tough to justify spending high draft capital on. However, he proved that the ability to separate is legit and could vault himself into the top 100.
Washington State WR Kyle Williams
This wide receiver class isn't the strongest we've seen, especially with how strong recent classes have been. Tetairoa McMillan is legit and there are some intriguing others that could be first-round picks in Emeka Egbuka, Matthew Golden, and Luthur Burden III, but nobody stands out as an alpha.
Day two is likely where you will find good value, and Williams arguably played himself into that spot with a great Senior Bowl week. He's always been good at stacking cornerbacks and attacking vertically, but his ability to get open quickly off the line of scrimmage was what showed out this week.
