Senior Bowl Day 3 observations from around the interwebz

Feel free to add more links and I may or may not update the OP

Folks seem mostly positive on Wormley and Lewis. Tidbits on Darboh - good route running, decent hands, needs to run a fast 40 at the combine.

Michigan wide receiver Amara Darboh had an eventful day. He was guilty of some early drops in the individual portion of practice, but Darboh did better in the one-on-ones. He ran away from Douglas to get open for one win and then outfought [WVU CB Rasul] Douglas on a jump ball to make a reception. Having a fast 40 time at the combine would be really helpful for Darboh. 

Western Michigan offensive tackle Taylor Moton has impressed team sources this week, and he had a quality performance in the final session. He did well to stop a bull rush from Notre Dame defensive end Isaac Rochell, as Rochell couldn't only get a little push of Moton. Michigan defensive end Chris Wormley did get a win over Moton by using strength to get leverage to the inside with quickness to close. Overall, the Senior Bowl should solidify Moton as a day-two prospect.

Michigan wide receiver Amara Darboh has had a solid week. He has displayed impressive hands and has ideal size (6-1, 215 pounds) for the wide receiver position at the next level.

The final North wide receiver to stand out today was Michigan’s Amara Darboh. While he’s clearly a good athlete, Darboh clearly isn’t on par with [ECU WR Zay] Jones. Despite this, he was able to consistently create separation today (and throughout the week) because of his polished route-running skills. He knows how to attack the break point to sell the downfield route on comebacks, and uses his hands subtly to put distance between himself and the defensive back. Even when he isn’t able to create space, he shows he has the strong hands needed to win contested balls, as he did on a one-on-one rep against [Iowa CB Desmond] King.

Cincinnati Enquirer Bengals beat writer Jim Owczarski is also down in Alabama and had an interesting report from Mobile. He says the following seven players are among the prospects in the Senior Bowl who the Bengals “found interesting”:

• Wisconsin running back Corey Clement
• USC offensive tackle Zach Banner
• Western Kentucky wide receiver Taywan Taylor
• Temple linebacker Haason Reddick
• Michigan defensive end Chris Wormley
• Alabama tight end O.J. Howard
• Bucknell offensive tackle Julie’n Davenport

Michigan’s Wormley has been having a nice week in Mobile. The defensive end had 37 tackles and 6.0 sacks this year as a fifth year senior. A team co-captain, he started all 13 games at defensive end this season. Last season, he had 66 tackles, 19 tackles-for-loss, 11 sacks, 1 fumble recovery and 1 pass breakup. He's been labeled as a versatile player, which we know the Bengals love. He's reportedly already had formal interviews with the Saints, Dolphins and Patriots.

This next link has a longer write-up on Jourdan Lewis worth a look. A few tidbits below.

“I like to fly under the radar and be one of the guys that nobody really knows and go out there and prepare to do my job. All I can do is do my job to the highest degree.”

“There’s a lot of people who say ‘I’m going to be one of the greats’ when they came through here, but you can’t guarantee that,” Lewis said. “What can you do is guarantee hard work. And that’s one of the things I want to guarantee is my hard work.”

"Scouts had him at 5’9 and change when they got him measured back in the spring," said NFL.com analyst Lance Zierlein. "I think they had him at 5’9 7/8. So for him, a 5’10 measurement here is a good thing, and weighing 188 helps him, too. If he can maintain that weight and run really well at the combine, he'll be fine."

And saving the best for last... You make me happy, Chris...

Another player who aced the interviews was Michigan defensive end Chris Wormley. Sources from multiple teams raved about Wormley, and one said he seems "almost too good to be true." Wormley is intelligent and comes across with a serious and professional tone. With his versatile size and experience, Wormley could end up going much higher than most realize.
