MOBILE — Jeff Driskel and Jacoby Brissett once battled for a starting spot at Florida. Now, they're competing on opposite sides of the Senior Bowl in a game that's more about impressing NFL teams than who starts — or even who wins.
Saturday's showcase game for senior NFL prospects marks another step toward the pro ranks in careers that hardly went the way the once highly touted recruits anticipated.
Brissett wound up transferring to North Carolina State and starting for two seasons.
Driskel fared well after heading to Louisiana Tech, starting last season following an up-and-down stint with the Gators that included a broken leg early in 2013.
