The Senior Bowl is over. The week of practices, interviews and media events have come and gone and the game was played on Saturday. The North team picked up the win Saturday afternoon 34-17.
The final score was of no real consequence, though. What matters more for the draft is how the individual players performed.
Who were the top performers in Saturday’s game?
UCLA Joshua Kelley
Kelley was the leading rusher in the game. He had 105 yards on 15 carries. This is on the heels of being named by fellow players the North RB practice player of the week.
TCU RB Darius Anderson
Anderson made plays in the running and the passing game for the North. He led all players in total yards from scrimmage with 130. He had seven rushing attempts for 43 yards. He caught two passes for 87 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown catch.
Utah DE Bradley Anae
Anae, who had 13 sacks during the season, showed off his pass rushing skills on Saturday. He was in on three quarterback sacks, including two on consecutive plays.
Syracuse DE Alton Robinson
Robinson also got to the quarterback, picking up two sacks on Saturday. He sacked Jalen Hurts once and Steven Montex once.
Oregon QB Justin Herbert
In a losing effort, Herbert was named the game’s MVP. He played the first quarter, got the North off to a 7-0 lead and completed 9-of-12 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown. He also gained 22 yards on three rushing attempts.
Memphis RB Antonio Gibson
Gibson finished with 68 yards on 11 carries in a losing effort for the South but had a very impressive run. It only went for two yards but he showed off some moves in the backfield to avoid from getting tackled for a loss.
Michigan State DE Kenny Willekes
Willekes also got the quarterback twice. He got the first and the last sack of the game, once getting Justin Herbert and once getting Steven Montez.
Texas A&M WR Quartney Davis
Davis had the second-most receiving yards in the game, catching four passes for 53 yards.
