Sun Feb 09 20:40:00 UTC 2025: ## NFL Draft Buzz: Senior Bowl Standouts and QB Contenders Emerge

**Green Bay, WI** – With the 2025 NFL Draft fast approaching (April 24-26), Yardbarker highlights five players generating significant buzz.

**Jack Bech’s Star Rises:** TCU wide receiver Jack Bech (6’2″, 215 lbs) earned Senior Bowl MVP honors, catching the game-winning touchdown. His performance, including six receptions for 68 yards, has analysts projecting him as a likely second-round pick, a significant jump from earlier rankings.

**Shemar Stewart: A Potential First-Rounder?:** Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart (6’6″, 290 lbs) is considered by some scouts to be the Senior Bowl’s biggest riser, despite relatively modest college statistics (1.5 sacks, 6 tackles for loss). While concerns exist about his pass-rushing technique, his potential has some analysts placing him in the first round.

**Jalen Milroe Remains Committed to QB:** Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe (6’2″, 225 lbs) emphatically dismissed speculation about a position change, emphasizing his dedication to the quarterback position. He’s currently working with QB coach Jordan Palmer to improve his passing mechanics.

Ohio State’s TreVeyon Henderson (5’10”, 208 lbs), who rushed and received for over 1300 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, is a potential target, according to ESPN’s Matt Miller.

**Kyle McCord Challenges Top QB Prospects:** Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord (6’3″, 220 lbs) is making a strong case to be considered among the top quarterbacks in the draft, despite Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders currently holding the spotlight. McCord’s impressive arm strength (averaging 49.4 mph on throws) and high passing yardage (4,779 in 2024) have caught the attention of scouts and analysts.
