I don't have NFL Network, so I couldn't catch the Senior Bowl. For those that saw it, who stood out to you? Who surprised you in a good way? Who disappointed you?

Gameday Standouts
Michael Carter, RB, North Carolina
Carter might have been overshadowed by his teammate, running back Javonte Williams, but he is no less of a talent. Carter has shown his ability to break off big runs and run through tackles. He finished the outing with 60 yards on eight carries. On the surface, that is impressive alone. However, every other player combined for 26 yards on 45 carries, which equates to .577 yards per carry.
Demetric Felton, RB/WR, UCLA
Felton played running back for the Bruins this season but he spent the week in Mobile training at wide receiver. The California native carried a strong week of practice into the live game setting. He caught two passes for 28 yards and one touchdown. Felton caught a pass from Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger in the flat and faked to the outside before blistering the defender with an inside move. His versatility will suit him well during a time in the NFL where playcallers are finding creative ways to get the ball into the hands of their most dynamic talents.
Patrick Jones II and Rashad Weaver, EDGE, Pittsburgh
Jones was one of CBS Sports' most highly rated players at the Reese's Senior Bowl but he was rather pedestrian throughout the week. Jones crashed the party Saturday on a sack play where he started on the edge, showed a swim move inside to beat the left tackle, and slung Jamie Newman to the ground. Weaver did a great job resetting the line of scrimmage and creating opportunities for his teammates.
Amari Rodgers, WR, Clemson
There is a lot of talent on Clemson's roster and that can make it easy for an individual to be overlooked. Rodgers has been Mr. Consistent for that team over the past two years and his skills have been underappreciated. His stock has been leveling out as the process comes full circle and his performance today, throughout the week has aided that argument. He finished with four receptions for 23 yards and one touchdown.
Keith Taylor, CB, Washington
Taylor did a great job staying in phase most of the day. He did give up a touchdown on an inside breaking route but also created an interception along the boundary. The former Huskie got his head back around to break up a pass that landed in the hands of Pittsburgh's Damar Hamlin.
Additional practice standouts
UCF safety Richie Grant made several plays throughout the week showing the versatility to play in the slot or deep. West Virginia linebacker Tony Fields II was active in practice. Undersized by traditional standards, Fields showed that he has an understanding of his role and often found himself in a prime position to make the play.
Wisconsin-Whitewater offensive guard Quinn Meinerz won over everyone in attendance by having the confidence to wear a belly shirt at practice. His play matched his aesthetic as he became one of the most heavily discussed players throughout the week. Alabama quarterback Mac Jones was accurate in a day of practice before succumbing to an ankle injury. The Crimson Tide quarterback was determined to show that he could succeed without a stable of high-end receivers around him. North Dakota State offensive tackle Dillon Radunz played one game this season before shutting down the season. His play matched the Top 50 projections that he has received for most of the process.

Ah! I did make a thread a few weeks ago about Mond being someone I'd want in round 4. Good to see he got MVP honors. Maybe he's someone we could look into. Keith Taylor sounds fascinating as a prospect. I'm looking forward to watching this *gets some popcorn*
