Quarterbacks, Quarterbacks and More Quarterbacks

For a vast majority of onlookers, the Senior Bowl will be a showcase of the quarterback position. 

Each of the six quarterbacks in Mobile—Ryan Nassib, Mike Glennon and Zac Dysert from the North, and Landry Jones, Tyler Wilson and E.J. Manuel from the South—are potential top-100 picks in April's NFL draft.

While there hasn't been one player from the six who has clearly separated himself from the other five this week, Saturday's Senior Bowl does allow a final opportunity to see the quarterbacks in a live-game setting. You can guarantee scouts will be taking a look at how each player handles the setting and pressure. 

Saturday's contest is still a part of the evaluation process, even if the practices were a more important scouting tool. Keep an eye on how each quarterback manages his allotted snaps. 

Who Are Some Names to Know?

WR Quinn Patton, Louisiana Tech: A smooth, fluid athlete, Patton is a natural route runner without fear of making a catch in traffic. His top-end speed won't remind anyone of Pittsburgh's Mike Wallace, but Patton has a certain Greg Jennings-like feel to his game. 

NT Brandon Williams, Missouri Southern: Rarely do 340-pounders move as well as Williams. Using his power and quickness, Williams has shown throughout the week that he belongs on the same stage as the big school defensive linemen. 

DE Datone Jones, UCLA: Jones looks like the kind of hybrid player who can play multiple positions and in multiple schemes, giving him great value along the defensive line. If an NFL defensive coordinator is willing to get creative, Jones could be a dangerous chess piece.

CB Desmond Trufant, Washington: NFL teams are willing to spend high picks on polished college cornerbacks who can flip their hips with ease and run with the speedsters. Trufant has shown that kind of ability in Mobile this week.

S Jonathan Cyprien, Florida International: A showcase game like the Senior Bowl rarely lends itself to in-the-box, big-hitting safeties, but Cyprien has made his presence known. He could lay an impact hit or two today. 

Who Needs a Strong Performance?

QB Mike Glennon, NC State: Glennon's week in Mobile depends on who you talk to. But as a guy with a huge frame (6'7") and big, strong throwing arm, Glennon could have really helped his stock this week. Maybe a big day Saturday gives him that momentum leaving the Senior Bowl. 

WR Denard Robinson, Michigan: The former Michigan quarterback is attempting the switch to receiver, but he had a tough week with the adjustment. He's still raw catching the football. Teams want to see Randall Cobb in Robinson, but he has a ways to go. 

S Robert Lester, Alabama: A cog in the Crimson Tide's top defense, Lester struggled to stand out in a practice setting. He's better against the run than pass, so Saturday's live-game setting could see Lester put a better performance together.

LB Nico Johnson, Alabama: Like Lester, Johnson was a key part of what Alabama accomplished on defense, but there are worries about his sideline-to-sideline capabilities at the NFL level. He can help cure some of those concerns by being all over the field Saturday.

Who Was the Best Player in Mobile?

While scouts coming away from Mobile typically agree about very little, one constant in 2013 seemed to be the reception of Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher. 

According to Matt Miller, Bleacher Report's lead draft writer, Fisher was the "winner of the Senior Bowl" and is now "a top-10 pick walking away from Mobile."

Doug Farrar of Yahoo! Sports said that Fisher reminds him of San Francisco 49ers tackle Joe Staley and Cleveland Browns All-Pro tackle Joe Thomas, and that Fisher should go in the top half of the first round. 

Very few have anything bad to say about the rising prospect. When Fisher comes off the board high in April, expect his performance this week in Mobile to be one reason why. He'll protect the blind side of the North quarterbacks Saturday.
