Jack Bech was a symbol of strength at the 2025 Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama on Saturday. After losing his brother, former Princeton star Tiger Bech, to the New Year’s Eve terror attacks in New Orleans, Jack honored his memory in an effort that got him noticed by the NFL.
NFL.com’s Eric Edholm noted Bech’s six catches, 68 yards, and game-winning TD as the top takeaway from the game.
“On the final play of the game, Memphis QB Seth Henigan hit TCU WR Jack Bech for the game-winning touchdown to give the American Team a 22-19 victory — one of the most dramatic and emotional Senior Bowl finishes we’ll ever see,” Edholm wrote.
“For Bech — who was named MVP of the game — the moment clearly weighed heavily. Bech’s brother, Tiger, was tragically killed in the New Orleans terror attack one month ago. Every Senior Bowl player wore a decal on their helmets this week in memory of Tiger, a former receiver and return specialist at Princeton.
Bech recognized the emotional lift his brother provided him during his life.
“It’s simple,” Bech told NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero after the game. “My brother had some wings on me. He gave them to me, and he let that all take place.
“All a big brother wants to do in life is see his little brother succeed. He’s been my role model my whole life. The person I Iooked up to. The person I wanted to be.
“He was the best big brother I could have ever asked for. My whole goal the rest of my life is just to live his legacy.”
Bech ensured that no one would ever forget the 2025 Senior Bowl. That includes Tiger Bech, too.
