Another running back who stood out was USC’s Marshawn Lloyd. Like Ali, he flashed during the 1 on 1s as a pass catcher. The 5-foot-9, 217-pound running back also showed his elusiveness when running between the tackles.
January 30, 2024 Jan 30, 2024; Mobile, AL, USA; National offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson of Oregon (58) sets up a play during practice for the National team at Hancock Whitney Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Vasha Hunt-USA TODAY Sports MOBILE, Ala. — Ryan Poles and Ian Cunningham stood off to the side of one of the end zones to watch the offensive and defensive linemen participate during 1-on-1 drills on Tuesday. The Bears’ general manager and assistant general manager had front row seats to watch Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson.
Powers-Johnson continued to dominate the period with two more wins in 1-on-1s and did so in front of a general manager and assistant general manager who are in need of adding a center to their team.

Standout receivers Michigan wide receiver Roman Wilson had himself a day. The 5-foot-10, 186-pound receiver consistently created separation down field from opposing defensive backs and it wasn’t just during 1 on 1s.
Two running backs shined One of my favorite things about the Senior Bowl is learning about new players. It has happened every time I have come down to Mobile. After the first practice and I’m going to say this now before anyone else does, Marshall running back Rasheen Ali is “my guy.” The 5-foot-11, 204-pound back stood out in 1 on 1s. Ali showed smooth route running and quick agility to beat linebackers in coverage. He ran a wheel route down the right sideline and beat Notre Dame linebacker JD Bertrand on the rep.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains two fallacies: Appeals to Authority and Inflammatory Rhetoric. The author uses the phrase 'if he finds the right fit in the draft' which is an appeal to authority as it implies that there is a specific way for Wilson to succeed in the NFL, rather than him being able to adapt his game accordingly. Additionally, when describing McConkey's ability to uncover and make tough catches, they use inflammatory rhetoric by saying 'he should continue into Day 2', implying that he will be just as good or better on Wednesday.
Roman Wilson is going to be a problem for defenses if he finds the right fit in the draft.
Bias
(85%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses the phrase 'white supremacists online celebrated' which implies that white supremacy is a positive thing. Additionally, the author mentions QAnon as an example of extremist far-right ideologies which suggests that these beliefs are negative or harmful.
