The 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl kicked off this week from Mobile, Alabama, as draft-eligible players get set to compete in drills in front of NFL personnel before the week culminates with an annual scrimmage game on Feb. 3.
Seven Georgia Bulldogs accepted invites to the event: center Sedrick Van Pran, wide receivers Ladd McConkey and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, running back Daijun Edwards, defensive backs Javon Bullard and Tykee Smith and long snapper William Mote.
Although he was initially listed on the roster, Van Pran’s name was removed on Monday due to an undisclosed reason. These decisions are usually made due to injury concerns or at the advice of the players’ representatives.
Van Pran’s exit won’t likely hurt his chances at the 2024 NFL draft, which will be held from April 25-27 in Detroit.
Van Pran is considered one of the best center prospects in the entire draft class. He anchored Georgia’s offensive line for three seasons, winning back-to-back national championships from 2022 to 2022. He earned All-SEC first-team honors in 2023, along with the SEC Jacobs Blocking Trophy, given to the best offensive lineman in the conference.
Van Pran still has an opportunity to work out in front of league representatives at the NFL combine (Feb. 29-March 3) and Georgia’s pro day (March 13).
