Invitations to the 2022 Senior Bowl have started being sent out and accepted, with over 50 players having been named to the roster as of this writing. Dozens more will be announced between now and February.
The Bears have kept a close eye on the Senior Bowl for potential draft picks over the years. Just this past year, they selected Khalil Herbert and Thomas Graham Jr.: two players who appeared down in Mobile, Alabama. Since Ryan Pace became the team’s general manager in 2015, they have drafted at least one Senior Bowl player in all but one of their seven drafts, with the likes of Adrian Amos, Nick Kwiatkoski and Cody Whitehair having taken part in college football’s premier all-star game.
