It’s that time of year when invites to next month’s major all-star games start to dribble out. Indeed, one of the intriguing aspects of events like the Senior Bowl is exactly who does get invited. NFL teams, for example, are consulted as to which players get invited to games like the Senior Bowl and of course they want to see the best competing against the best. One player who definitely fits that category is Fresno State SS Phillip Thomas who has been invited to Mobile despite the fact he has not been generally rated as highly as some other safeties around the county. However, Thomas was a legitimate consensus all-American this past season in which he led the nation with 8 interceptions, three of which he returned for TDs; Thomas, a solid 215-pounder with decent 4.55-type speed, also led the Bulldogs with 82 tackles including 4 sacks and 8 other tackles for loss. All that after Thomas missed the entire 2011 season after suffering a broken leg and dislocated in pre-season drills.
It is also hardly a stretch to suggest that neither of Georgia Southern FS J.J. Wilcox nor Cornell OT J.C. Tretter are exactly household names even among the most diehard draft watchers. However, both are late bloomers from lower-level programs who will also be in Mobile for the Senior Bowl next month. Wilcox, for example, actually played offense his first three years at GSU where he switched from wide receiver to slotback and then finally to RB before converting to safety this fall. The 215-pound Wilcox responded with 88 tackles and a couple of picks for the Eagles whose season ended this past weekend with a tough loss to #1 ranked North Dakota State in the D1AA national semi-finals. For his part, Tretter also started his collegiate career as a receiver, although as a TE, but started the past two years at LT. Tretter isn’t all that big at barely 6-3, 300 and likely will have to slide inside to OG at the next level, however, he’s a former high school basketball star with very light feet, good football smarts and a solid work ethic.
just updated the list off of Senior Bowl site
