Welcome to the thick of the pre-draft process. The 2026 Panini Senior Bowl takes place this week in Mobile, Alabama. The Draft Network is providing layered analysis of each positional group set to compete at this year’s premier pre-draft event. The Senior Bowl is the draft cycle’s most notable showcase, allowing prospects to don their respective college helmets one final time.
Let’s get rolling with a peek into the headlining players set to compete at running back and wide receiver.
Jaydn Ott, RB, Oklahoma
Jaydn Ott once had a dynamic season at Cal, rushing for more than 1,300 yards in 2023. Inconsistencies partially derailed 2024 and 2025. Ott is attempting to rehabilitate his reputation in Mobile.
Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State
Nicholas Singleton is a physically gifted running back prospect who uniquely blends size with athleticism and explosiveness. Singleton’s production hasn't always matched his talent. He could be dynamic in Mobile, but he'll need to be consistent.
Kaytron Allen, RB, Penn State
Kaytron Allen is a downhill thumper who should thrive in a tandem backfield. Allen is an excellent short-yardage back, but lacks top-end speed and receiving game production.
Le’Veon Moss, RB, Texas Tech
Le’Veon Moss has elite physical tools and could be among the biggest studs in Mobile. Acceleration and contact balance are strengths. Medicals will be key throughout the pre-draft process, as Moss has missed games in multiple seasons throughout his career.
Mike Washington Jr, RB, Arkansas
Mike Washington Jr. runs the football with terrific speed, vision, size, and instincts. Washington Jr. projects as a better NFL running back than most currently realize. He'll have to improve in pass protection to be a three-down threat.
Rahsul Faison, RB, South Carolina
Rahsul Faison is a smooth and fluid athlete on the tape. The quick-accelerating running back was highly impactful at Utah State before transferring to South Carolina.
J’Mari Taylor, RB, Virginia
J'Mari Taylor is among the draft's more well-rounded backs. On tape, Taylor displays natural instincts with quickness and the ability to break tackles and run through contact.
Seth McGowan, RB, Kentucky
Seth McGowan is a downhill bowling ball who runs with eye-opening power and physicality. McGowan is violent and intentional. He lacks creativity and breakaway speed, however.
Adam Randall, RB, Clemson
Clemson running back Adam Randall transitioned from wide receiver, making him an impactful pass catcher. Randall runs with contact balance, but his natural instincts and vision are still developing after undergoing the position change.
Kaelon Black, RB, Indiana
National Championship winner Kaelon Black rushed for 1,040 yards for the Indiana Hoosiers in 2025. He scored two touchdowns in the semifinal win over Oregon and ran for 79 yards in the title game. Black's willingness to participate in Mobile speaks volumes about his compete level.
Kejon Owens, RB, Florida International
Florida International's Kejon Owens runs with contact balance and power. The small-schooler exploded for 1,334 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025, but appears to lack top-end speed on tape.
Harrison Wallace III, WR, Ole Miss
Harrison Wallace III threatens defenses' vertical speed and acceleration. Wallace should be a fun playmaker throughout one-on-ones.
Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame
Notre Dame's Malachi Fields has prototypical X-receiver size. Fields thrives in contested catch situations, and he's fluid and explosive after the catch.
Aaron Anderson, WR, LSU
LSU's Aaron Anderson is a versatile offensive weapon who makes electric plays through explosiveness and vision. Anderson is a dynamic playmaker who projects as a slot-only receiver due to size deficiencies.
Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia State
Ted Hurst is among the top small-school participants in attendance at this year's Senior Bowl. Hurst is an efficient route runner with good elusiveness after the catch, given his sizable frame (6-foot-3, 195 pounds).
Jordan Hudson, WR, SMU
Jordan Hudson, a former TCU transfer, registered a career-high 766 receiving yards this past season. Hudson has enough short-area quickness to create separation, and he pairs it with run-after-catch ability.
Ja’Kobi Lane, WR, USC
USC's Ja'Kobi Lane is arguably the biggest "name" in attendance among the receivers. Lane is another big-bodied wideout who high points the football to make contested catches.
Josh Cameron, WR, Baylor
Josh Cameron is a powerful and versatile receiver who is elusive after the catch. Scouts want to see Cameron run consistent routes and create separation in Mobile. The one-on-ones will be notable.
Kevin Coleman Jr, WR, Missouri
Kevin Coleman Jr. played at four different programs (Jackson State, Louisville, Mississippi State, and Missouri). He's an undersized but dynamic slot, registering 1,664 receiving yards in the SEC over the past two seasons.
Barrion Brown, WR, LSU
Barion Brown possesses the speed required to develop into an electric playmaker. The LSU performer will stretch cornerbacks vertically in the Senior Bowl's competitive practice environment. Brown should be fun to watch.
Caullin Lacy, WR, Louisville
Caullin Lacy is another elusive weapon with short-area quickness. Lacy will arguably be the best special teams returner in attendance.
Reggie Virgil, WR, Texas Tech
Texas Tech's Reggie Virgil is a well-rounded receiver prospect. Virgil pairs quickness with instincts, strong hands, and route-running prowess. He’ll align everywhere at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds.
Devin Voisin, WR, South Alabama
The Senior Bowl will be a homecoming for Devin Voisin, who spent seven seasons at South Alabama. Voisin earned his Senior Bowl invite by recording 775 yards in 2025.
Vinny Anthony II, WR, Wisconsin
Bad quarterback play limited Vinny Anthony II at Wisconsin in 2025. An efficient and proven receiver, Anthony also doubles as a dangerous return man on special teams.
Lewis Bond, WR, Boston College
Lewis Bond was highly productive as a shifty slot receiver at Boston College. The Chicago, Illinois native lacks ideal size and physicality, but still managed to flirt with 1,000 receiving yards in 2025.
Caleb Douglas, WR, Texas Tech
Caleb Douglas possesses terrific size, and he averaged nearly 16 yards per reception in 2025. Douglas recorded more than 1,700 yards throughout his final two seasons of college ball while scoring 13 touchdowns. He's consistent.
Romello Brinson, WR, SMU
Romello Brinson was more productive once he transferred from Miami to SMU. Brinson enjoyed a career-best year in 2025, and he's also returned 32 kicks.
Cyrus Allen, WR, Cincinnati
Cincinnati wide receiver Cyrus Allen possesses exceptional speed and acceleration. The dynamic deep threat previously played at Louisiana Tech and Texas A&M.
