I’ll be honest: all I knew about Mobile, Alabama, before this past week was that it was near the Gulf of Mexico, the Mobile BayBears minor-league baseball team played there, and it was the home of the Reeses’ Senior Bowl -- the top all-star game for fourth-year college football players.
For all I knew before coming down here, it could’ve been the Lost City of Atlantis, but with really nice iron latticework and killer barbecue.
This past week covering the Senior Bowl was an eye-opening experience for many reasons, the least of which was certainly not getting to actually watch days of practice and interview these budding National Football League players.
