For the second consecutive year, a University of Toledo player became one of the dominant storylines at the Senior Bowl.
Last year, Quinyon Mitchell used his week in Mobile, Ala., to position himself as a first-round draft pick. On Sunday, the defensive rookie of the year finalist will start at cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
Darius Alexander hopes to follow in his former teammate’s footsteps. So far, he’s one-for-one after being named the National team’s top defensive lineman at the Senior Bowl.
“The NFL covets traits, and Alexander has the physical traits for the next level,” said Dane Brugler, an NFL draft analyst for The Athletic.
