This is a tough blow for Nevis who is on the borderline between being a first or second round draft pick. We have him as the third defensive tackle taken in our latest mock draft and a strong showing at the Senior Bowl would solidified his position inside the first round.
Other players that have withdrawn from the Senior Bowl for various reasons include Florida center Mike Pouncey, Iowa defensive end Adrian Clayborn, Ohio State defensive end Cameron Heyward, LSU defensive tackle Drake Nevis and North Carolina linebacker Quan Sturdivant.
