Super Bowl week is finally here! But before we dive into the biggest game of the year, there’s still plenty to unpack from the football world—especially since it comes right on the heels of Senior Bowl week. That means my cohost, Seth Cox, and I had no shortage of things to talk about in our latest podcast episode.
If you’re a die-hard football fan, you already know the Senior Bowl is a crucial event for NFL prospects. It’s where some of the top college players get a chance to showcase their skills in front of scouts, coaches, and general managers. This year was no different, and we saw some standout performances that could shake up the draft boards. But before we got into that, we had to address something equally important—changes within the Arizona Cardinals' coaching staff.
Coaching Staff Shake-Up in Arizona
The Cardinals made some notable adjustments to their coaching staff under head coach Jonathan Gannon this offseason. We started the show by breaking down these changes—what led to them, who’s coming in, and what impact the departures might have on the team moving forward. It’s always interesting to see how these behind-the-scenes moves shape a team’s future, especially with a roster that still needs some serious work. Some of the changes seemed necessary, while others raised a few eyebrows. But one thing’s for sure—the Cardinals are looking to refine their approach and build a stronger foundation for the upcoming season.
After hashing out the coaching changes, we shifted our focus to the meat of the episode—the players who made a name for themselves during Senior Bowl week. If you missed the game, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered with a breakdown of the top performers and what it means for their draft stock.
Senior Bowl Standouts – Who Impressed the Most?
Every year, the Senior Bowl provides an opportunity for players to boost their draft value, and this year was no exception. Some players came in with high expectations and lived up to the hype, while others turned heads and forced scouts to take a second look.
-
Offensive Playmakers to Watch: We highlighted a few offensive standouts who made the most of their opportunity. Whether it was a quarterback slinging perfect passes, a running back showing incredible vision and burst, or a wide receiver making acrobatic catches, there was no shortage of talent on display.
-
Defensive Stars on the Rise: On the defensive side of the ball, certain players stood out for their ability to disrupt plays, shut down opposing receivers, or make big-time tackles. We broke down some of the key names who helped themselves the most and could end up being impact players at the next level.
What’s always exciting about the Senior Bowl is that it’s not just about the game itself—it’s about the entire week of practices leading up to it. Sometimes, the real risers aren’t just the ones who shine on game day but the ones who consistently show improvement and dominate in practice reps against top competition.
What This Means for the Cardinals
Since Arizona is still in a rebuilding phase, it’s crucial to keep an eye on prospects who might be a good fit for the team. We took a deep dive into which offensive and defensive players the Cardinals should have on their radar after strong Senior Bowl performances. Could there be a future star wide receiver in this group? Maybe a game-changing pass rusher? We discussed potential draft targets and how they might fit into the Cardinals’ system.
One thing is certain—there’s a lot of talent in this draft class, and the Senior Bowl gave us a clearer picture of who’s ready to make the jump to the next level. Some players may have solidified themselves as first-round picks, while others might have worked their way into Day 2 or even Day 3 consideration. Either way, it’s an exciting time for teams looking to add young talent, and the Cardinals should be paying close attention.
Looking Ahead to the Super Bowl
Of course, we couldn’t end the episode without shifting gears to the biggest game of the season—the Super Bowl. With all the hype leading up to the showdown, we touched on key matchups, storylines, and what we expect to see on game day. Whether it’s a battle of elite quarterbacks, a chess match between two brilliant coaching staffs, or a breakout performance from an unexpected player, the Super Bowl always delivers drama and excitement.
