TCU wide receiver Jack Bech produced one of the greatest moments in Senior Bowl history on Saturday.
The senior, whose brother, Tiger Bech, died in the Jan. 1 terrorist attack in New Orleans, scored the winning touchdown as time expired for the American team.
He caught the pass from Memphis quarterback Seth Henigan quarterback on 4th-and-goal from the National team's two-yard line to give the American squad a 22-19 win.

Afterward, American head coach Bubba Ventrone, the Browns assistant head coach and special teams coordinator, discussed Jack Bech's incredible moment and week.
"We were all thinking about him all week," Ventrone said. "He's truly the MVP of the week. Not only did he perform at an extremely high level every day, but he's an incredible person. He's tough. Whoever gets that kid is lucky. Extremely lucky to get him on their team."
Jack Bech began his collegiate career at LSU, playing from 2021-22. He transferred to TCU in 2023, where he played the past two seasons. In 2024, Jack Bech had 62 receptions, 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns.
Players on each team wore his brother Tiger's former No. 7 when he played football as a decal on the back of their helmets.
Earlier this week, Jack Bech revealed a new tattoo he got in honor of his brother. The tattoo reads "7 To Heaven" along with the dates of his brother's birth and death in Roman numerals.
