MOBILE, Ala. – For Iowa State CB Darien Porter, preparation is key. Watching tape to prepare for a game is one thing, but Porter wanted to stand out at the Senior Bowl. He came prepared to do so by watching tape of some of the receivers he’d be going up against in practice.
“It’s a lot of mental prep, getting your mind right,” Porter told me after the second day of Senior Bowl practices. “We’ve been Combine training and stuff, but it’s time to put the pads back on and get in that mode. So obviously working my craft these past couple weeks while I’m still training for the Combine, making sure I get my football in.
