One of the bright spots on the Ohio State football team last season was wide receiver Terry McLaurin. His outstanding production enabled him to be invited to the Senior Bowl where he shined.
His performance in front of representatives from NFL teams certainly improved his draft stock. Not just by how he played in the game, which was excellent, but during the practices leading up to it.
That’s when pro scouts and general managers get to see a player up close. They watch his technique, practice habits, work ethic etc., and get to know him personally through interviews.
