MMOexp Madden 24: Taking limited snaps in the Senior Bowl

There are so many good offensive linemen this year that it became easy to overlook Trevor Penning out of Northern MUT 24 Coins. That can’t be the case anymore. Penning took himself from being a possible 2nd or 3rd round pick and looks every bit of a player who will be taken by someone in the first.

Penning similarly knows how to use his size to his advantage, and also has really quick feet for a man of his size. In addition, he showed a mean streak in Senior Bowl practices this week that makes old-school football guys salivate. One of the more interesting QBs not getting a lot of attention is Carson Strong, and there’s no need to sugar coat this one: He was bad. It’s going to take a specific team who values statuesque, pocket QB to select him in the first place — but one of the big selling points for Strong has been his decision making in the pocket.

Taking limited snaps in the Senior Bowl, Strong was inconsistent in his passing, threw an interception, and fumbled the ball. It was a nightmare outing for a player that has first round potential. That said, saying it’s all over is dumb. It’s more than Strong is going to need to put a ton of work in during his Pro Day and at the scouting combine to show that the Senior Bowl was a blip on the radar, and not a sign of something more damaging.

While QBs understandably garnered all the attention, the Senior Bowl really served to highlight just how ridiculous the amount of talent on both the offensive and defense lines are this draft. If you’re a team lacking on either side, then 2022 is going to be the year to stock up on players.

Boston College OG Zion Johnson, UConn DT Travis Jones, the aforementioned Mafe and Penning Madden 24 MUT Coins — from top-to-bottom the absolute best players at the Senior Bowl were linemen. They’re joining a class that already boasts a ludicrous amount of elite pass rushers and protectors that could make this a truly legendary year for big men.
