Shamar Stephens - Senior Bowl Roster

[uconnbill]

South has more playmakers and just better overall talent.

Shamar didn't stand out but his week of work matters much more than the game itself.

SS has got a good motor o-line has their hands full

*UConn's Stephen has two tackles in Senior Bowl

Former UConn defensive tackle and team captain Shamar Stephen had one solo tackle and assisted on another in today's Senior Bowl but it wasn't enough as the North team lost to the South 20-10 in the Senior Bowl.

He teamed with North Carolina's Kareem Martin to throw Coastal Carolina's Lorenzo Taliaferro for a two-yard loss on the North team's first defensive possession of the fourth quarter and made a solo stop on Taliaferro on the game's final play.

Stephen, named the MVP of the UConn team, had a pretty strong week of practice as the Senior Bowl by all accounts and he has been invited to next month's NFL Combine.<<

Nice little mention of Mike Patterson ad Bob Diaco near the end of the third quarter. Any mention is good

I watched. He was slow off the snap, got little push and had a lack luster game. Love SS but that is the truth.

He needs to step up at the combine to get into the draft because based on this performance he is 7th round or UDFA.

He had a pretty week at the Senior bowl practices and should remain a mid round pick. I do think he needs to have a good week at the combines if he wants to get in the top three rounds. Otherwise he will be a fifth rounder or so.

He was well within the norms of the DLinemen. I know they don't measure arm length like we do for our shirts. I wear a 34/35 sleeve and I can guarantee you that Shamar's arms are longer than mine.

Good to know about the measurements... but he is still at the low end for length and reach. And I want him to get drafted, signed, and have a long healthy career. Just pointing out a measurable that is in the wrong direction.
