Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy expressed concerns that Day 3 draft picks will be devalued due to prospects staying in school and NIL deals. Two Michigan players, Mike Sainristil and Mike Barrett, have pulled out of the Senior Bowl. Nagy stated that the draft's Rounds 5-7 have been impacted by NIL and players returning to school, leading to a less deep draft class. Additionally, North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye and Michigan OL prospect Trevor Keegan are not participating in the Senior Bowl.
