Washington has two players participating in the Senior Bowl: Ephesians Prysock and Carver Willis. Both are looking to improve their NFL draft stock and put their talent up against the other top college seniors across the FBS. Willis has been a quiet name so far in the Senior Bowl. However, clips continue to pop up showing his rise on NFL Draft boards.
The most viral one was when Willis did a one-on-one drill against Clemson's TJ Parker, who's projected to be a second-round pick and one of the top edge rushers in the draft. Willis absolutely tosses Parker in a strength-on-strength contest. See the clip below:

Carver Willis is currently projected to go undrafted but his highlights may change that

Willis hasn't been on the mock drafts and hasn't been a player that's been dubbed "a must watch" or "guy to draft." Though that's what the Senior Bowl is for, it can change all that. He's currently predicted to be a UDFA by the NFL Mock Draft Database. Though CBS Sports' Michael Renner has him picked up 94th overall.
This is the range that is currently unknown. It may be because he's a bit under the radar. However, the above clip wasn't the only one that garnered attention. There are a few others floating around social media, one is by NFL Draft writer, Rob Paul, who says that Willis "was quietly one of the best OL in pass pro on Day 1." See the clip below:

This is all great news for the former Washington Husky who played for one season under Jedd Fisch to finish out his career. He spent five years at Kansas State before transferring to Washington and was one of the better portal pickups last season for Washington. Now he's off to the NFL.
