For most participants, the Senior Bowl serves as a platform for them to showcase their skills in front of hundreds of NFL personnel and media members. This platform allows for prospects to answer questions that many people may still have about their athletic abilities after four years of college. This year was no different. We had a highly anticipated battle for QB1, edge rushers that emerged as first-round draft picks, and offensive linemen that solidified their high draft rankings.
At Baylor, Pitre played most of his snaps lined up close to the line of scrimmage at the outside linebacker position. In this alignment, Pitre rarely had to cover receivers in the deep portions of the field in man-to-man situations. So quite naturally, scouts and personnel had questions on if he was capable of doing so in the NFL.
