MOBILE, Alabama – There is no shortage of intriguing defensive linemen at the 2025 Senior Bowl. I came down here with a healthy list of six or seven to keep a close eye on, and that quickly expanded once practices got underway. One of the first to catch my eye was Iowa DL Yahya Black. I was immediately struck by his impressive frame.
He measured in at 6055, 337 pounds with 35-inch arms (!!). That is rare length. Even if his pass rush arsenal isn’t developed yet, the right coach could help him use that length as a weapon to keep offensive linemen away from his body.
