The Reese's Senior Bowl is currently going on, and four former Auburn Tigers are participating. 

The Senior Bowl is an opportunity for college players who are getting ready for the NFL Draft to compete with some of the best players in college football and show NFL Scouts the talent they possess. You see a lot of players make money at the Reese's Senior Bowl based on solid performances, turning the heads of these scouts. 

One of the four Auburn Tigers currently attending the Reese's Senior Bowl is former defensive lineman Marcus Harris, who had an outstanding season for the Tigers. His play throughout the season made him some money in the NFL Draft as Harris was a player many thought would be a late-round pick but has worked his way into late day two, early day three consideration. Harris is the older brother of Auburn freshman defensive lineman Malik Blocton. Blocton is a player expected to have a significant role for DJ Durkin's defense in his true freshman season. 

Host of Locked On Auburn Zac Blackerby asked Harris about Blocton and what to expect from him. This was Harris's response, " A little bit of me but like a better version of myself because I'm going to teach him a little bit of stuff I know. When I go to the next level, I want him to translate that to the college game. I want him to be a better version of me."  

Harris had 40 tackles last season, as well as seven sacks, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. All reports say Harris has performed well at the Reese's Senior Bowl, which will increase his chances of being a late third-round pick.
