Some Conflicting Views on Tennant


Tennant has spent the past few days down in Mobile at the Senior Bowl, showing off his skills in front of coaches and scouts. There really isn't a consensus on where Tennant stands, however. I've watched the first two practices and I thought he handled himself well at Center and struggled a bit in his reps at G. He is the smallest OL but he showed off his quickness by making a nice recovery when it appeared he had been beaten.

Anyway, there is a difference of opinion on him. Kiper has had Tennant in his top 3 available centers since he first came out with them. He spent a long time at #1 among OC's. Kiper had predicted Tennant would be selected in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Then there is Mike Mayock of NFL Network. I think he is better overall at gauging where palyers stand and he seems to think that Tennant will be a mid-round pick (3-5). While I think BC-alum Mayock is the better analyst I gotta say I hope he is wrong about Tennant.

One thing is for sure, Tennant is getting drafted and will carry on O-Line U tradition
