Senior Bowl
The Senior Bowl is an annual college all-star game held each January in Mobile, Ala. Rosters are comprised of the top senior NFL draft prospects in the nation.
The first Senior Bowl was held in 1950 in Jacksonville, Fla. Legendary SMU running back Doak Walker was among the first participants. The game was moved to Mobile the next season, where it has remained since.
Every year, the coaching staffs from two NFL teams are chosen to lead the North and South squads and are responsible for selecting the rosters for each. The week of practice with the NFL coaches is considered more important than the game itself from a scouting perspective, as many players are able to establish their NFL credentials against top competition.
Joe Namath, Walter Payton, Bo Jackson and Brett Favre are among the notable NFL players who have played in the Senior Bowl.
