The Senior Bowl has had the primetime cameras pointed at the nation’s best seniors all week, as both NFL Network and ESPN have been covering the practice sessions from front to back.
Among the prospects down in Mobile are five former Mid-American Conference stars, including Central Michigan’s bookend first-team all-MAC tackles, two intriguing developmental players from Miami’s dominant defense and an all-around safety from Toledo.

Lots of eyes on Central Michigan OT Bernhard Raimann. A 6-7 former TE with terrific size/frame. You can see the intrigue from how well he moves — this week will really test his technique. He could really make some money here.

Great job here on the left side of the formation by LT Bernhard Raimann and WR Christian Watson. They secure the edge and allow Rachaad White to bounce to the outside for a big gain@CMU_Football @NDSUfootball #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/l9wiWqONPi

Raimann managed to nab an interview with NFL Network on their Wednesday recap show, which can be seen in full below:

Raimann is also the subject of a profile piece in USA Today:

Dominique Robinson
Dominique Robinson, DE, Miami (Ohio): Made a rare move and went from WR to DL in 2020. He's raw, but his all-around game impressed me. Had 11 tackles for loss last season. He's a third- or fourth-rounder right now.
— Mel Kiper Jr. (@MelKiperESPN) February 1, 2022
Umm. Miami (OH) DL Dominique Robinson is really impressing. Walking tackles back with power and showing lockout length.
— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) February 1, 2022
Dominique Robinson has flashed all week. #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/T1VExtVNGR
— Inside The Draft (@Jacobkeppen) February 3, 2022
Main takeaway from 2 days of practice: DL has dominated.
— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) February 2, 2022
- Jermaine Johnson the best player here
- Travis Jones bullying anyone/everyone
- Kingsley Enagbare consistently winning
- Several pass rushers flashing in a great way (Ebiketie, Luketa, Myjai Sanders, Dominique Robinson)

Dominique Robinson was pretty much unblockable with his speed in one-on-one pass rush drills. The Miami (Ohio) star is one of the top pass rushers here that I have seen.
— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) February 2, 2022
Robinson has been one of the bigger winners of the practice sessions, with draft networks starting to take notice:

Luke Goedeke
From the @PrideOfDetroit P.O.D.cast currently on Twitch: @JimNagy_SB highlights #CMU OL Luke Goedeke as a prospect to watch.
— Juney (@AVKingJames) January 25, 2022
Goedeke will play all three OL positions, per Nagy, and is seen as a starter-grade prospect by some scouts and GMs: https://t.co/dZVL759RRp
Luke Goedeke (OL/CMU) has a hamstring injury per source and his week is done. #TheDraftStartsinMobile
— Brian Bosarge (@DeepFriedDraft) February 1, 2022
Interesting positional breakdown among the National OL.
— Mitch Wolfe (#1 Coin Fan) (@MitchellTWolfe) February 1, 2022
Bernhard Raimann and Matt Waletzko, thought to be tackles, are working more with the interior group.
Luke Goedeke and Nick Zakelj working with the tackles, not the guards @ATB_network @draftrite_atb

Sterling Weatherford
Best cover LB I saw in the morning session was Miami-Ohio’s Sterling Weatherford. 6-3,230 — ran with every TE, didn’t get bullied off routes. Very smooth player.
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) February 1, 2022
Tougher day one for Miami (OH) LB Sterling Weatherford. Looked a bit stiff in coverage drills and seemed unsure of calls/assignment in team. Safety in college so he's learning new position on top of new system/scheme. Lot to process. Will be about progression for him.
— Alex Kozora (@Alex_Kozora) February 1, 2022

Nice pass breakup in the endzone by Miami Ohio’s Sterling Weatherford. #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/pGJSsLboyH
— Inside The Draft (@Jacobkeppen) February 3, 2022
Nice PBU by Sterling Weatherford to end red zone team session. He’s here as a LB — not sure he’s a full time player there but he’ll find his way on the field for someone regardless of their system. Could be teams, SAF3, sub-LB.
— Kyle Crabbs (@GrindingTheTape) February 3, 2022
an under the radar day at the Senior Bowl in Day 2? Sterling Weatherford.
— The Transfer Portal CFB (@TPortalCFB) February 3, 2022
He bounced back strong & really showcased his versatility today. Remember at Miami (OH) he played everywhere despite being listed at DB. Playing LB in Mobile, looked so comfortable rushing off the edge.
@MiamiOHFootball’s Sterling Weatherford was a menace in 1 on 1’s today. #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/w4QZjHw76T

Weatherford is picking up steam as a developmental hybrid linebacker, with The Athletic Detroit suggesting Weatherford could be a potential Jalen Reeves-Maybin replacement should he leave in free agency. ($$$)
Tycen Anderson
Again, Toledo safety Tycen Anderson has some silly closing speed. pic.twitter.com/IobinuZ1yg
— Matt Alkire (@mattalkire) January 12, 2022
Fourth safety on the American roster, joining Tycen Anderson, Yusuf Corker and Leon O'Neal (with a couple of others possibly bouncing between CB and S reps). Lions should be looking hard at that position. https://t.co/wP5joLvISB
— Chris Burke (@ChrisBurkeNFL) January 27, 2022
Told S Tycen Anderson is a player I am really intrigued by. Played single high, two deep and slot corner. pic.twitter.com/MPuKjlz8IQ
— Matt Alkire (@mattalkire) February 3, 2022
Really nice rep here by both @AztecFB TE Daniel Bellinger and @ToledoFB Safety Tycen Anderson. Anderson is patient throughout the entire rep and nearly makes a play on the ball while Bellinger reaches down and snags the football on a low throw. #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/Mrbp6h7zzD

Decent hole created by the OL, but a nice run fit here by Toledo S Tycen Anderson. #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/Q3lMLVa2ey

Anderson has been getting some looks as a riser at the safety position, most notably by the Pro Football Network:
2022 Senior Bowl Safeties: JT Woods, Tycen Anderson are strong riser candidates https://t.co/EM0mRaL6fb
— PFN News (@PFN365News) February 1, 2022
Anderson was also the first Senior Bowl podcast interview on the Detroit Lions’ official “One Pridecast”, discussing how the practice days have looked thus far behind the scenes, how he grew up in a football-crazed Toledo area and what he intends to do when he makes it to the NFL. The entire episode is below:
Kickoff for the Senior Bowl is Saturday at 2:30 p.m. EST, from Mobile, Alabama, airing on NFL Network.
