The Oregon Ducks will be well represented in the Reese’s Senior Bowl with Royce Freeman and Tyrell Crosby leading the way.

The Senior Bowl is an opportunity for Players to open some eyes and likely make a move up the NFL Draft Board with a good showing with many NFL Scouts on hand. Coaches have been in the stands during Practices for most of this week.

Several years ago it was a battle between Carson Wentz and Dak Prescott. The Quarterbacks lining up this season are Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen. Either could end up as a number one NFL Draft pick. For the Oregon Ducks, Royce Freeman will get some carries after sitting out the Bowl Game loss against Boise State last month.

Tyrell Crosby did not allow a sack all season on Oregon Football Quarterback Justin Herbert. He was seen earlier this week in practice bowling over Defenders and putting them on their backs. Crosby should easily work his way into the first round of the NFL Draft if he isn’t there already.

Some other Oregon Additions include Wide Receiver Charles Nelson who will look to show his speed vs his size. Cornerback Arrion Springs and Defensive Tackle Scott Pagano will also play. Pagano missed a significant part of the 2017 season with Oregon Football due to a foot injury and will look for a good showing with NFL Scouts in attendance on Saturday.

One player, Long Snapper Tanner Carew has an important job. He did it many times at Oregon and is an integral part of any Football Team. Carew will be on display during punts and extra points and should make an impact on the game.
