Senior Bowl Blues



The Senior Bowl didn't exactly go as planned for the four Kentucky Wildcats that took part in the game. Wesley Woodyard probably came out of the game in the best shape. The S.E.C.'s leading tackler led the south squad with six tackles, although Woodyard missed a key tackle late in the game.

Rafael Little started the game for the south squad, and even carried the ball on the south's first offensive possession. In the practices leading up to the game, Rafael won a lot of praise from the coaches and scouts. During the game, Little made a poor decision on choosing to catch a punt that was going over his head. After bobbling the ball, he did manage to make up several of the yards. Unfortunately, Little did not return to the game in the second half after sustaining an injury.

Jacob Tamme also started for the south team. Tamme made the first reception for his squad, but shortly after was involved in a Colt Brennan interception. Tamme finished the game with two catches.

Andre' Woodson had a tough go of things in the Senior Bowl. Andre' was the second quarterback used by the south squad. After reportedly struggling in the practices throughout the week, Woodson made two key mistakes during the game which may have hurt his draft status. The first being a fumble and the second by taking a sack in the end zone for a safety. Woodson did throw the south's first touchdown. Most analysts are now predicting Woodson to be taken in the second round of the NFL draft.
