I think you could add SHSU linebacker Jahari Kay. Dude is a playmaking machine.

Senior Bowl: Significant performers from the FCS

Christian Watson (NDSU WR) - 1 catch for 38 yards (more significant: caught while underthrown from Kenny Pickett) on 2 targets
Troy Anderson (Montana State LB) - 3 tackles (1 solo)
Jequez Ezzard (SH WR) - 1 catch for 8 yards on 2 targets and 1 yard punt return
Zyon McCollum (SH DB) - 3 tackles (1 solo)

Zyon McCollum (SH DB) - 3 tackles (1 solo)
The other target to Watson was another terrible under thrown ball that end up in a pass interference call. This was the worst group of QBs I have seen in this game. He ended up with two targets, one big gain and a PI. They weren’t even looking his way. Not a lot of balls caught by any of the WR’s, Ezzard from SHSU was quiet as well.

Any updates from your schools' Pro Days?

Any updates from your schools' Pro Days?
NDSU OT Cordell Volson really improved his vertical along with his 3-cone and shuttles times at NDSU's pro day:
https://twitter.com/RossUglem/status/1508459974397251594

He was a fringe draftable prospect coming into this so hopefully that gets his name called at some point during the draft.

NDSU WR Christian Watson didn't do much for drills at their pro day since he worked out so well at the combine but his measurables have been off the charts to the point where I've seen him going towards the bottom of the first round in some mock drafts:

Watson did 18 reps on the bench press, not bad and I thought he did the 3 cone drill again at Fargo

Yep, he did the 3 cone and shuttle in Fargo as well... I heard these were pretty good numbers for his position but didn't have the energy to look them up in relation to the WRs who did them at the combine:

https://twitter.com/NDSUfootball/status/15071132749107322996.96 would have been 2nd for the WR at the combine, lots of guys didn't do the drill, the best time was 6.71 and there was a 6.98 in there as well, most were in the low 7's
