For some aspiring NFL players, a good Senior Bowl performance can be the difference between being drafted and being an college free agent at the end of April.
For example, the Bengals’ own Andrew Brown made a name for himself at the Senior Bowl. He wasn’t drafted highly by the Bengals, but an impressive game solidified his name on the draft board.
Other important Bengals players have taken part in this game in the past, including Geno Atkins, Andy Dalton, and Shawn Williams.
Others, like LaDainian Tomlinson, Dan Marino, and Terry Bradshaw have turned Senior Bowl performances in to Hall of Fame careers.
