The 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl, held in Mobile, Alabama, provided an excellent platform for NFL draft hopefuls to showcase their skills, and three former Florida State University (FSU) standouts were among the most anticipated participants. Wide receiver Johnny Wilson, offensive tackle Robert Scott Jr., and defensive back Greedy Vance all had the opportunity to display their talents in front of NFL scouts, coaches, and executives. Each player’s performance at the Senior Bowl highlighted their strengths and provided insight into how they could potentially impact the professional ranks.
Johnny Wilson – Wide Receiver
Johnny Wilson entered the Senior Bowl as one of the most intriguing wide receiver prospects, thanks to his impressive size and physicality. Standing at 6’7″, Wilson is a matchup nightmare for defenders, and his physical traits were on full display during the week of practice and in the game itself. Known for his ability to go up and grab high throws, Wilson showcased his strong hands and ability to win 50/50 balls. His routes were generally sharp, though he did have some minor issues with consistency in separation against more seasoned cornerbacks. Nevertheless, Wilson made a few highlight-reel catches, flashing the potential to be a red-zone threat at the next level. His performance at the Senior Bowl helped solidify his position as one of the top receiving prospects available, though he still has some refining to do in terms of route running and becoming more consistent in his play.
Robert Scott Jr. – Offensive Tackle
Offensive tackle Robert Scott Jr. entered the Senior Bowl with a reputation as a reliable, yet still developing, player who had been an anchor on FSU’s offensive line for several years. Standing at 6’5″ and 320 pounds, Scott possesses the size and physicality required of an NFL offensive lineman, and his play at the Senior Bowl proved his worth. Throughout the week of practices, Scott demonstrated solid technique in both pass protection and run blocking. In one-on-one drills, he held his own against top-tier pass rushers, showing an ability to anchor and keep defenders from getting around him. He was quick off the snap and had good balance and leverage, although there were moments when he struggled with quicker, more agile rushers. In the game itself, Scott showcased his versatility, lining up at both tackle positions and even showing some improvement in his footwork. While Scott still has some areas to work on, particularly with his hand placement and reaction time against speed rushers, his performance at the Senior Bowl should help elevate his stock in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Greedy Vance – Defensive Back
Greedy Vance, a cornerback known for his sticky coverage skills and ability to read the quarterback, entered the Senior Bowl with high expectations. Throughout the week, Vance displayed his impressive agility and competitiveness, consistently staying with receivers in man-to-man coverage. His ability to quickly change direction and mirror routes stood out, and he showed off his ball skills in several practice sessions, intercepting a few passes and deflecting others. In the game, Vance’s physicality and quickness continued to shine. He made an impact on several plays, breaking up passes and showing that he can be a lockdown corner at the next level. However, there were moments when he was caught overcommitting to plays, leaving him susceptible to double moves. Regardless, Vance’s Senior Bowl performance reaffirmed his status as a promising defensive back with the potential to make an immediate impact in the NFL.
Conclusion
All three former FSU standouts—Johnny Wilson, Robert Scott Jr., and Greedy Vance—made their mark at the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl. Each player had a strong showing, reaffirming their draft prospects and proving that they have the potential to contribute at the next level. While there were areas for improvement, their performances gave NFL teams plenty to consider as they evaluate these rising stars ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.
