2026 Senior Bowl Final Notebook: Unknown gems steal the show to wrap up the week of practice in Mobile
Here are the players who stood out the most at the end of the practice week in Mobile.
Practice week in Mobile, Alabama is officially over, and the most important part of the 2026 Senior Bowl is behind us. Throughout the week, we broke down the biggest winners and shared notes from primary sources at the event.
Today, we wrap the week that was with one final peek into the notebook from Mobile.
Kyle Louis, LB, Pittsburgh
A smaller stacked backer who wasn’t exactly on the list of prospects garnering a ton of interest heading into the Senior Bowl, that changed mightily after three days of practices. Louis capitalized on his opportunity with an emphatic interception on Thursday.
“One of the week’s most dominant players,” a source told A to Z Sports. “Agility, motor, and instincts.”
Max Llewellyn, EDGE, Iowa
Llewellyn capped off a good week with his best practice on Thursday. A bulky EDGE at 6-5, and nearly 250 pounds, he showed some nice agility and movement skills, including one of the cleaner wins in team period all week. “Llewellyn was good,” a source told A to Z Sports.
Rayshuan Benny, DT, Michigan
Benny’s teammate, Derrick Moore, was the talk of the town earlier in the week, but the defensive tackle made some big-time plays on Thursday, flashing instant wins, and, in the words of one source, “he turned into a game-wrecker on Thursday.”
Vinny Anthony II, WR, Wisconsin
Anthony stacked a few days together in a WR group that was relatively underwhelming coming in. The former Badger showed strong hands and the ability to separate at a high clip, and in the words of one source, “he had some great days.”
Deven Eastern, DT, Minnesota
Easten put together a strong week, but he saved his best for last on Thursday, forcing an interception after collapsing the pocket. As one source told A to Z Sports, “Eastern’s win against Carver Willis in Thursday’s one-on-ones ranks among the best plays of the whole week.”
