Coaching Senior Bowl all-star game gives Detroit Lions leg up in NFL draft process

For the fourth time in the past 13 seasons, the Detroit Lions are headed to Mobile, Ala., to coach the Senior Bowl.

The top college all-star game announced this year's coaching staffs Tuesday, with the Lions and New York Jets in charge of the teams.

Typically, the NFL teams that finish with the worst records and return their head coach are given the option to coach the game.

The Lions went 3-13-1 in Dan Campbell's first season as coach and will pick second in April's NFL draft. The Jets, in their first season under Dearborn native Robert Saleh, went 4-13 and will pick fourth.
