For the first time, the Reese’s Senior Bowl will be the most important event to evaluate collegiate athletes for the NFL Draft.
With the event scheduled for next week in Mobile, Ala., personnel members from all 32 teams, media pundits and players expecting to display their worth will all be at Hancock Whitney Stadium. Instead of the traditional North and South teams, the rosters are named American and National. The coaching staffs of the Miami Dolphins (National) and Carolina Panthers (American) are running the venue. For the University of Alabama, seven of its alums accepted invitations to the Senior Bowl and most will play in the game.
