MOBILE, Ala. — After the first practice of the Senior Bowl on Tuesday afternoon, scouts from the Eagles, Ravens, Titans, Giants and 49ers peppered Villanova’s Tanoh Kpassagnon with questions. What’s his phone number? (Starts with 215). Does he have a girlfriend? (No). Did he drive a car in college? (No). What does he do in his free time? (Draw art). When asked about his favorite food, Kpassagnon went into detail about a dish his mother makes that includes a mix of spinach, kale and peanut butter from her native Uganda.

At the Senior Bowl practices, the size of a scouting crowd quizzing a prospect can often be an indicator of the buzz a player is accumulating.
