Senior Bowl 2011: 10 Seniors Who Could Wow Us at the 2011 NFL Combine

The Senior Bowl is done. Now time for the combine and pro days.

Read through all the stories and analysis, and you will see differing views on whose stock rose and whose fell this weekend in Alabama. Many loved Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder and outside linebacker Von Miller from Texas A&M. Miami wide receiver Leonard Hankerson and Cal defensive end Cameron Jordan also received praise for their performances.

There are no official invites listed yet for the NFL combine in Indianapolis, which is from Feb.23-March 1, so we don't know who is going yet. The question still exists: Who could benefit from a good showing there?

Here are 10 players who could wow us in Indianapolis:

10. RB Noel Devine, West Virginia

Apparently he made a big play here and there over the week, but to many, he's still just a return man and nothing more. You can't really judge Devine's talent off playing with an offensive line he's been around for a week. Watch game film and you'll see what you need to.

The combine is going to give him a chance to show off his speed and raw talent. His stock will rise.

9. OLB Von Miller, Texas A&M

He lived up to the hype, from rushing the passer to making open field tackles. If Miller heads to Indianapolis, he'll just add to his resume and give himself even more security.

There's no doubt he'll be a first-round pick and will likely be gone midway through. 

8. QB Colin Kaepernick, Nevada

Scouts got to see just how good an arm he has and that he can play under center, but Kaepernick can't rest easy.

When you come from a small, non-BCS school, you better be ready to keep proving yourself over and over until you're actually selected on draft day.

Kaepernick will be just fine. You can't deny he's got skills.

7. WR Leonard Hankerson, Miami

He probably had the most productive day of any receiver at the Senior Bowl, finishing with five catches for 100 yards, including a 48-yard deep route from Christian Ponder in which he had to come back and make the catch.

Right now, A.J. Green and Julio Jones are considered the top two receivers in the draft. It's still anyone's guess who will be the next receiver taken after that. My bet is Hankerson goes off at the combine and puts himself in position to be No. 3.

6. WR Titus Young, Boise State

He was consistent all week, showed he could be a playmaker and did good as a returner. It wouldn't shock me at all if he heads to the combine and has that momentum carry over.

5. RB DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma

It wasn't exactly the best trip for the Sooners running back.

He didn't have positive yardage in the game, but I'll go with him bouncing back at the combine and at OU's annual pro day. He's way too good and talented. Consider this weekend just a small bump in the road.

4. OL Anthony Castonzo, Boston College

Some say he had an off week at the Senior Bowl, but so much of being a lineman is about rhythm. Don't be shocked if his stock goes back up if he decides to go to Indianapolis.

3. DE Cameron Jordan, Cal

Most drafts don't have him as one of the first defensive ends being taken, but apparently he had one of the best weeks of any player at the Senior Bowl. Teams always covet talented, dominating defensive ends. What do you bet Jordan makes his way into the discussion even more?

Something tells me it will happen.

2. QB Jake Locker, Washington

He eventually warmed up and got better as the game progressed, but something tells me scouts want to see a lot more from him. The combine gives players a chance to show their physical ability and put them through different drills.

I have a feeling Locker will do a little better but may not really shine unless Washington hosts a pro day and he can throw to his own receivers.

1. QB Christian Ponder, Florida State

He's the talk of the Senior Bowl and still isn't listed as one of the top quarterbacks in the draft.

I think that's ludicrous, but I also know Ponder won't be phased by it. He'll just patiently do what it takes to keep impressing NFL scouts and executives and let the work speak for itself.
