Utah LB Francis Bernard impressed all season long for the Utes. In a league that's getting faster, your linebackers better be able to cover. Bernard handles coverage responsibilities exceptionally well. pic.twitter.com/l64gFY65Yb

Love and Bernard are joined by fellow in-state athletes Terrell Burgess, Bradlee Anae, and Leki Fotu to participate at the Senior Bowl.
All players from the state of Utah have seemingly impressed NFL scouts this week in Mobile, Alabama, including Bradlee Anae who will need to prove to NFL scouts, coaches, and general managers that his speed and explosiveness off the line of scrimmage is worth its weight in gold.
Bradley Anae had a very good day two. He showed off his pass rush arsenal.
