Allen Park — The Detroit Lions have drafted at least one player from the Senior Bowl each of the past nine years and multiple players six of the past seven. General manager Bob Quinn, in his four seasons in his role, has selected 11 participating prospects.
So you can understand why the event merited attention, even before the Lions coaching staff was selected to lead the game's North Squad.
In preparation for this year's Senior Bowl, we reviewed the past 10 games, noting the players the Lions eventually drafted, the best player they didn't draft, and the best overall player to play in the game each season.
