Cole Madison wraps up the Senior Bowl

Cole Madison continued his path to the NFL this week by playing in the Senior Bowl. It was an eventful week for Madison who got plenty of work at right guard. From a lot of accounts, Madison showed well for himself during the week.

The practices and games were a good opportunity for NFL scouts to see Madison go through drills and match up head-to-head against other prospects. Now, the focus on Madison will focus more on himself individually. Like the rest of the Cougar hopefuls, Madison will begin preparing for individual workouts and pro day.
