On his behalf, he couldn't blitz, so he was basically in coverage or reading and reacting the entire time. Just like he did the entire year under Torbush. Maybe he got the MVP because he was more familiar with the defense than everyone else.
He will make someone's roster next year. Probably as a back-up.

have a Refrigerator Perry, a Gilbert Brown, or a Tony Siragusa.
He will follow in that vain, have a GI Joe action figure made of him, and then move on.

<h3>MOBILE, Ala. (AP)</h3>
Mardy Gilyard had 103 yards receiving and caught a 32-yard touchdown
pass in the fourth quarter to help the North race to a 31-13 victory
over the South in Saturday's Senior Bowl.
Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, meanwhile, had a shaky outing running a pro-style offense against a sturdy defense.
He
fumbled twice and finished 8-for-12 passing for 50 yards in the
showcase for senior NFL prospects. Tebow's longest completion was 11
yards and he netted 4 yards on four rushes, but was never turned loose
as a power runner as he often was with the Gators. He battled strep
throat early but didn't miss any practice time during a week when he
was trying to prove to skeptical NFL teams and draft analysts that he
could be a starting pro quarterback.

One
of the nation's top all-purpose threats, Gilyard also set up a
third-quarter touchdown with a 43-yard catch down the right sideline
and had five receptions. Both that pass and the TD came from Central
Michigan's Dan LeFevour.
Michigan defensive lineman Brandon Graham had two sacks and a forced fumble and was chosen the game's Most Valuable Player.
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Gilyard
returned two kicks for 52 yards and gained 24 on two punt returns. He
was named offensive player of the game while Mississippi State's Jamar
Chaney earned defensive honors. </span>
Tulane receiver Jeremy
Williams had six catches for 82 yards and added a 27-yard run on an end
around, and was chosen the South's most outstanding player. That honor
went to Central Michigan's LeFevour for the North. He completed half of
his 10 passes for 97 yards and added a 1-yard touchdown run on a sneak,
once again outdistancing the much more heralded Tebow.
LeFevour finished with more total touchdowns (150) than any other player in Football Bowl Subdivision, including Tebow (145).
Zac
Robinson had the game's best passing numbers, throwing for 176 yards
and a touchdown before getting intercepted late in the game.
Tebow
played 11 snaps in the first half, and the South was down two scores by
the time he re-entered the game to loud applause late in the third.
Dexter McCluster fumbled two plays into his first drive of the half, and his second began at the South's 1-yard line.
Tebow
led the South to a couple of first downs before Koa Misi stripped the
ball from him. He had another fumble on the next drive but lineman Jeff
Byers fell on the ball.
Gilyard's teammate, Tony Pike, is
considered the top-rated NFL prospect among the participating
quarterbacks and he looked solid in a brief outing. He was 5 of 12 for
45 yards all in the first half. Gilyard caught two of those passes for
21 yards.
LeGarrette Blount had a 14-yard touchdown run for the North, while Lonyae Miller gained a game-high 44 yards on nine carries.
Alabama
players accounted for all of the South's points. Robinson hit tight end
Colin Peek for a 19-yard touchdown and Leigh Tiffin booted field goals
of 43 and 33 yards. </div></div>

...the Senior Bowl is just a some fun thing for the players to do after the NFL scouts and coaches poked, prodded, and evaluated all the prospects during a week of drills and scrimmages.
I think the NFL knows what Anthony Dixon can do. Same with Cody.
I think the NFL knows what Anthony Dixon can do. Same with Cody.
From the bleachers: Chaney got a lot of playing time and played well (4 solos and 4 assists), but got run over a couple of times. Dixon played as a fullback and got one carry for about three yards. None of the running backs had big days. Mardy Gilyard was the big standout.
I say every year that I'm not going back, but I might really mean it this time. The stadium is in the middle of the hood and parking is a nightmare. If you ride the shuttle from Hank Aaron Stadium, plan on waiting an hour in the cold for the bus back. It's rumored that Under Armour wants to move the game to Tampa or Jacksonville, which would be a giant improvement.
