Three former players participated in Reese\u2019s Senior Bowl festivities. While edge rusher Derrick Moore and defensive lineman Rayshaun Benny participated in practices throughout the week, it was Donaven McCulley who played in the game itself despite being a late addition.<\/p>\n
Moore, Benny, and McCulley all did enough to boost their draft stock higher than what it was heading into the Senior Bowl. Here\u2019s a look at how each Michigan player performed in Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl.<\/p>\n
Moore was especially dominant throughout the week of practices and even had one rep go viral by embarrassing Miami\u2019s Markel Bell. Moore won the rep with power and literally ran Bell over.<\/p>\n
Moore was also showing power and faring well in run support.<\/p>\n
Lastly, Moore got fiery with Arizona State\u2019s Max Iheanachor, with Moore taking a swipe at his helmet.<\/p>\n
Based on his showing at the Senior Bowl, that rating was no fluke, and his skills will translate well in the NFL. Per PFF, Moore\u2019s 92.4 pass rush grade last year ranked No. 1 among all Big Ten defensive players. Moore set a career high in 2025 with 10 sacks and had 21 in all in four seasons at Michigan.<\/p>\n
Benny was getting into offensive backfields in dominating fashion,<\/p>\n
Benny had 107 tackles (12 for loss) in five seasons at Michigan, along with four sacks and one forced fumble. Benny\u2019s sack totals are surprisingly low considering the scouting analysis coming out of the Senior Bowl, where he was perceived as a legitimate interior pass-rushing threat.<\/p>\n
McCulley led the National Team with four receptions for 50 yards. McCulley, 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds, spent just one year at Michigan after transferring from Indiana. McCulley hauled in 39 receptions for 588 yards and three touchdowns for Michigan last season in an offense that never really sustained any success as a passing offense. Perhaps a team will become enamored with McCulley\u2019s height and view him as a vertical threat that was part of a Michigan offense that hampered his production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three former players participated in Reese\u2019s Senior Bowl festivities.
