MOBILE, Ala. — The NFL Scouting Combine later this month is the biggest show in the league’s pre-draft process.
It’d be impossible to find a more compact, nutrient-dense scouting environment, however, than the three days of practice here leading up to the Senior Bowl.
More than 120 players. In pads and working through combinations of individual, skeleton and team drills and moving and hitting — though mostly not tackling.
For the first time this year, juniors were allowed to attend. That led Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy to invite a bunch and end up with several talented ones.
