Upshaw would have done himself a favor if he just skipped the senior bowl, kept his weight down, and worked on getting his forty/shuttle times down. He tried to put on size to show he could play DE when he does not project as a true DE in the NFL. He needed to show speed and coverage skills to the scouts moreso than pass rush skills.

I agree, but I will never understand why the NFL thinks they can turn a guy like Dontari Poe who was the very definition of an underachiever at MEMPHIS into an All Pro. But they won't take a highly productive player like Upshaw.

He did well Senior Bowl week though... he just seemed to free fall from the combine on though.
