Both had very good first days of practice at the Senior Bowl from most accounts. Great news for the Broncos and those two personally!

Some are saying that Eskridge was the best player on the entire field today. The rest of the country is figuring out what we've already known!

Shame we couldn’t have gotten him a MAC championship!!

Thanks tim!

Football is more than a one-man game.

Sounds like day 2 was more of the same from both!

McShay and company raving about Eskridge yesterday during the WR/DB drills. Said it wasn't fair to take him one-on-one and that he was putting on a clinic.

They also like Nico Collins from UofM. McShay said that if you have Nico on one side and Eskridge on the other, it would be game over.

They LOVE Eskridge at the Senior Bowl... they are saying he could be a late first rounder... Hey... ive watched him his entire career at WMU... that kid can ball out. I think he's a better return man than Phillips... and that says A TON...

Listening to them gush over him and his competitiveness and application of speed to game... I feel like I need to slap these guys and say the MAC is not a bad place to play ball...

I am curious to see if Timmy can produce the kind of NFL level talent that came out of the Fleck era... Eskridge and Moore are the last two I believe

Eskeridge may be the next Tyreek Hill. I think Hill ran a 4.29 at the combine. Will be interesting to see if Eskeridge can match that.

Not at all.

Not sure he has that kind of speed, but I see him more like a Steve Smith type player. Quick, excellent route runner, awesome hands. I was most impressed this year (2020) with his ability to attack the ball.

This is a WR heavy draft, but he will probably end up in the 2nd round.

He can/will.

The trick will be preventing them from playing transfer portal hopscotch to “greener” pastures.

Sounds like Dee is being held out of practice and might miss the actual senior bowl game. That’s disappointing but if it’s out of caution and to prevent injury before the draft that’s a good call.

Sounds like there are several players doing this. Without the combine, it may be wise to stay healthy and host a pro-day of some kind.

Nice article on Eskridge from mLive, projected 1st Round pick

It's safe to say Dee made the right choice to move back to Wide Receiver

I do think the time he spent on D enabled him taking his receiver game to another level. I give him extra credit for putting in the work to improve his skills. He earned it the hard way.
