2012 Senior Bowl: Tuesday South Practice Notes | Articles
It was day two for the South Practice today, including the second time I got a chance to watch these guys perform.

Draft Breakdown — Senior Bowl Diary: Day 2
Today at practice we finally got to see both teams play – and in ideal weather. The sun was shining and even though there was a bit of a nip in the air the field conditions were perfect. It was a great sign especially after a slippery Monday. Full pads allowed for many players to state their cases – who stood out and who dropped the ball? Here are some of my rambling observations.

2012 Senior Bowl Practice Report, North Team Day 1 - Big Cat Country
The 2012 Senior Bowl kicked off practice in Mobile, AL at Ladd-Peebles Stadium on Monday afternoon after the conclusions of the weigh-in results. The practices today were held at the same time due to the morning weigh-ins, but are normally held split between the morning and the afternoon.

The practice was slow paced in shells, so I focused my attention on the glory positions; wide receivers and quarterbacks.

2012 Senior Bowl Practice Report: North Team, Day 2 - Big Cat Country
The 2012 Senior Bowl practice kicked off on the second day with the North team practicing in the morning session. The sessions began with some special teams drills and saw N.C. State wide receiver T.J. Graham muff a punt and then fumble a punt a few attempts later when he was trying to pick up some yards on the return. In the drills, Wisconsin punter Brad Nortman boomed his kicks and routinely got quite a bit of hang time, garnering him some attention from a few scouts after practice.
