Adam Trautman, Dayton

There are a few sleepers here to pay attention to during Senior Bowl practices. The guy everyone is talking about is Dayton’s Adam Trautman. Trautman had a phenomenal final season at Dayton, catching 70 passes for 916 yards and a whopping 14 touchdowns.

At 6’6″, teams will be looking at Trautman to be an elite red zone target. I expect him to show up big when red zone drills commence in practices.

Josiah Deguara, Cincinnati

Another name to watch in Mobile will be Cincinnati’s Josiah Deguara. In Deguara’s final season for the Bearcats, he put up 504 yards receiving and seven touchdowns, a slight uptick in production for him.

While Deguara may not be the flashiest athlete, he’s still a good mover in space and is a reliable pass catcher. Will he be a great starter in the NFL? Probably not, but he’s someone who can find a role.

Stephen Sullivan, LSU

LSU’s Stephen Sullivan is the final sleeper to watch down in Mobile. He wasn’t very productive in his final season (just 12 catches for 130 yards) but his tweener physique is interesting. Will he get reps at receiver as well as tight end this week? Time will tell.
