Is killing it at the Senior Bowl practices and several draft/talent eval. people have said he's among the fastest risers at the Sr Bowl. Up to 334 official weight, he's leveling DT's and NT's. I wonder if he's being underrated because he's "just a Center." A team could probably slide him over to either G position, but either way, he's still getting better. A couple of many examples:
ESPN's Matt Miller
"The talk of the town in Mobile, Alabama, on Tuesday night was Oregon center JPJ. The 6-foot-3, 334-pound snapper is a powerful operator in the run game but showed remarkable technique and pacing during the first National practice. Scouts throughout the Senior Bowl events have been labeling Powers-Johnson as a potential late first-rounder -- already a solid improvement to his draft stock. Teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills have been mentioned as potential landing spots inside the top 32 picks
