He's got a sack (on Jarrett Brown), he drilled Tebow on the first play, he got sucked in on a reverse once, and he showed great contain on a pitch to Stafon Johnson. Overall, he's been BG. Great player whose stock is on the rise. He's a lock for the first round at this point.

Per ESPN: Tebow came to Mobile with a chance to prove he can be an effective NFL quarterback, but if he could go back in time he would likely choose not to come to the Senior Bowl. Tebow did show good arm strength, handled the media frenzy well and even played through a case of strep throat, but he also put all of his weaknesses on display in a setting that did nothing but magnify them. In a group of merely adequate quarterback prospects Tebow ranked near the bottom and we walk away from Mobile believing he might never be an NFL quarterback. He will have to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up to have a chance , and we cannot remember one NFL quarterback who ever had to retool his entire game before finding success in the NFL. Teams that might have been considering Tebow in the late first or somewhere in the second round now have to re-evaluate. We have not spoken to a single talent evaluator who believes Tebow can develop into the kind of quarterback Mark Sanchez, Matthew Stafford or Joe Flacco is right now. The learning curve is just too steep in almost every area. We cannot find a way to give him any higher than a third-round grade, and even then we envision him as nothing more than a Wildcat or short-yardage quarterback who will maybe move to H-back. Overall, Senior Bowl week could not have gone worse from an on-the-field standpoint.

The color guy has really drilled a few players, but has had nothing but praise for BG, saying something like, "Brandon Graham has helped himself this week as much as anyone here." He is looking very, very good. The announcer was saying that he would be a good fit for Gunther Cunningham, who has been coaching him all week, and the Lions. Sadly for the Lions, BG could go between the Lions' first and second picks.

ESPN's Todd McShay had high praise of Brandon Graham citing his quick adaption to new defensive schemes, multiple defensive positions and 100% hustle at this particular camp and 2009 season. A "Belichick type player."

I read what I pasted below on TomVH's Twitter - he retweeted and quoted Feldman who based on his who seems to be watching the game: TomVH RT @BFeldmanESPN Was there a better defensive player who played on a worse D than Michigan's Brandon Graham? wow hes been impressive. 15 minutes ago Wish I could watch him dominate!

Graham is everywhere. he's being double-teamed, he's missing sacks by one step only because someone else is there, forcing Tebow out of the pocket and yet almost catches up to him upfield. he's playing out of his mind, could be defensive MVP of the game if they have one.

Showed his game highlights and gave credit to his history in track and running. Flat out said he's willing to go anywhere on the field. Said he wants to go back in and get one big play because he wants MVP. Cracked the announcers up and just looked really positive. They rattled off his stats and they include TFLs nobody even mentioned yet. Will report in if he gets the MVP.

just flushed Zach Robinson out of the pocket, gave him a 3 yd lead and chased him down. then he just got blatantly held to prevent the sack. he's playing lights out.

The only reason I watched was to see how BG would do. Awesome, dominating performance. It's nice to see him get the recognition he deserves. Go Blue!
