The preparation for the 70th annual Senior Bowl has officially begun with Monday evening’s introductory press conference. Executive director Jim Nagy, Missouri quarterback Drew Lock and Auburn inside linebacker Deshaun Davis took the podium and blew away the spectators, each for separate reasons. While Nagy showed incredible transparency when asked about the ins and outs of the Senior Bowl and Lock showed an immense amount of poise and charm fielding questions, it was Davis who really got down to business.
It seems hard to believe that after a season in which the Auburn linebacker recorded 112 tackles and received first team honors on the AP All-SEC team, that Davis would have to sit at the podium and answer questions on if his game translated to the NFL level.
