MOBILE, Ala. - Doug Pederson, Frank Reich, Jim Schwartz, Howie Roseman and the rest of the new Eagles' regime will convene here Tuesday to start sorting out prospects for the 2016 NFL draft.
Senior Bowl week, held in this bayside city whose downtown area is maybe a tad larger than the South Philly sports complex, is a throwback to the NFL of 40 or 50 years ago. One practice is held at a high school field, the others at South Alabama's Ladd-Peebles Stadium, where groups of scouts and coaches congregate on metal bleacher seats, job seekers pass out business cards to anyone who will take one, and agents are easily identified as the guys dressed and coiffed like no one else in the state of Alabama.
