Although this weekend has largely been dominated by the NFL Draft, it was also the culmination of the spring practice period for the SEC.
Arkansas held its final scrimmage, which included a scare for star running back Rawleigh Williams, and was the last team in the conference to settle in for the summer.

The Crimson Tide had the biggest showing this year, and only four schools had more than 40,000 fans in attendance. While spring games are often considered nothing more than glorified practices, they can leave an impression on recruits and generate enthusiasm for a program.
