Deadrin Senat (born July 22, 1994) is an American football nose tackle who is a free agent.[1] He played college football at South Florida, and was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

College career

Initially Senat committed to Florida State early, but later decommitted early so that he could explore his options.[2] After his senior year, Senat was named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference First-team.[3] Senat was also invited to the 2018 East–West Shrine Game, along with teammates Quinton Flowers and D'Ernest Johnson. This was the first year 3 players from the Bulls were invited to the East–West Shrine Game.[4]

Professional career

Pre-draft

On November 30, 2017, it was reported that Senat had accepted his invitation to play in the East–West Shrine Game.[5] Senat impressed scouts during East–West Shrine Game practices and improved his draft stock.[6] Senat sustained a minor knee strain during practice and was unable to play in the East–West Shrine Game. He also received an invitation to play in the 2018 Senior Bowl, but declined due to his injury.[7] Senat attended the NFL Scouting Combine and completed all of the combine and positional drills.[8]

On March 26, 2018, Senat participated at South Florida's pro day but opted to stand on his combine numbers and only performed positional drills. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Senat was projected to be a third-round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. He was ranked as the eighth-best defensive tackle prospect in the draft by DraftScout.com and was ranked the ninth-best defensive tackle by Scouts Inc.[9][10]
