Mobile, wing. -A Highlight-Reel Play in the Senior Bowl can place a design perspective on everyone’s radar, lift its draft stock or raise him to a new level, still months before Picks are made in April.
For Jack Bechh it also helped him to mourn.
The 6-foot-2 receiver of TU TU kept the game-winning touchdown in the senior bowl of 2025 and took a knee in the end zone after he scored.
Making plays is what he had done all week. In practice on Wednesday there was a long throw from Alabama Quartback Jalen Milroe along the right sidelines, perhaps a bit shifted. Bech came back, turned around and made a leap catch with two defenders on him.
He did it with an Oranje no. 7 sweater, not the no. 18 he wore on TCU while enjoying a Breakout 2024 season, with 62 catches for 1,034 Yards and nine touchdowns.
This week he is wearing his brother’s song.
Martin “Tiger” Bech, 27, for former Princeton recipient and New York stock broker, was killed in the Bourbon Street attack in New Orleans in the early hours of New Year’s Day, one of the 14 victims like a man drugs a truck through a crowd. This week is the first time that Jack has had the opportunity to return to the normality of football and play in the showcase game for NFL -Prasts.
“Me and my family have absolutely felt all the love and support of everyone, and it really helped us to try to get the most out of this situation,” said Bech, who comes from nearby Lafayette, La, and had 30 family members and friends who cheered him during Saturday’s game.
Because each player in both teams had a sticker on the back of his helmet, with the number 7 in orange and black tiger stripes.
Bech too, you have a permanent memory of his Barthher. So after the training with reporters I spoke on the field, he took out the sweater and showed to a few new tattoos. The first, on his collarbone under his left shoulder, reads “7 to heaven” in script, and about his heart I have the data of the birth and death of his brother in Roman figures: “I.XVII.MCMXCVII-IIMMXXV.”
“I have angel wings on me,” Bech said when he was asked to wear his brother’s song. “I have the biggest guardian angel of all and attract what I am now.
Jack Bech shows reporters the tattoos on his chest that he reminded himself of his killed brother.
It has been a difficult month for Bech, dealing with the sudden loss of his Barher, but it has also given him a new sense of gratitude for the time he has, for the privilege of playing the game that he likes, knowing how quickly things can be removed. This week is his best chance to convince the NFL that he is talented Covech to keep playing on Sunday this fall and then.
“I am so blessed to be able to stand in front of these teams, so I love this,” said Bech. “I wake up in the morning of the event and I thank God for putting myself in this position, to make the best out of every occasion I get.”
Bech becomes a pity with a Medeland, with physical play, sharp route running and the ability to answer in the air as he made on Wednesday. Catching Passes is a family business-Jack and Martin’s Uncle, Brett, played receiver at LSU and for three seasons with the Saints of 1997-99.
A year ago, Bechh was not on the radar of the NFL or the senior bowl, with a total of four touchdowns in his first three years of the university, including two at LSU. But I came forward in a great way, especially in the second hay of the season, a total of 647 yards and six touchdowns in the last five games. In the TCU season finale he received a TouchDown pass in the fourth quarter to lead the Horned Frogs in a victory over Stanford. This led him to led as an underclasan for the design and his chance to introduce himself to the NFL on Saturday.
“I want teams to know that there is a high level for my game speed. I can stretch the field,” he said. “I know the game super well, all the little nuances that are uble to attack coverage. It doesn’t matter who steps before me, I don’t fall back and give it my best every time.”
