“The Senior Bowl was very important because that was pretty much the only opportunity to meet with a guy in person, face-to-face and have a conversation. It’s the only chance to feel his energy.” - Anonymous AFC General Manager to ESPN this week.

Maybe the most important outside of the 150 or so medical evaluations that teams got at a limited scouting combine in 2021.
