Six Ole Miss Rebel football players received coveted invitations to the Reese’s Senior Bowl. The match includes 139 players divided into American and National teams and will take place in Mobile, Ala., and the game was first played in 1950 in the Gator Bowl Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla.
The Senior Bowl is designed to help NFL prospects improve their draft stock. Solid examples of first round draft picks post Senior Bowl include Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Tyler Guyton.
Since its inception, 93 Ole Miss Rebels have been invited to this event, including Evan Engram, Shay Hodge, Dexter McCluster, Michael Oher and Patrick Willis.
