The all-star showcase features the top college football seniors who are striving to improve their NFL Draft stock.
Arizona wide receiver Jacob Cowing, who is second in the Pac-12 in receptions (74), accepted the Senior Bowl invitation on Sunday.Β
After suffering a season-ending knee injury at UCLA last season, Morgan, a potential first-round pick, decided not to declare for the NFL Draft and returned for a fifth season, and has started every game this season at left tackle. Morgan has the fourth-best pass-blocking grade (89.5) nationally with a minimum of 500 snaps played this season, according to Pro Football Focus.
Following a strong senior campaign that's coming to an end soon, Morgan is projected as a possible first-rounder for April's NFL Draft in Detroit. ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper has Morgan as the 24th-best overall prospect entering the draft. Morgan could become the first UA offensive lineman drafted in the first round since John Fina in 1992.Β
Morgan and Cowing will play in the Senior Bowl on Feb. 3 at 11 a.m. on NFL Network.Β
