Louisville football has one alumni player that is still playing football into late January. That guy is wide receiver Dez Fitzpatrick who is looking to posture his way to being an NFL Draft selection this week in Mobile, Alabama.

Fitzpatrick has the unique opportunity to participate in the annual Reese’s Senior Bowl which awards graduating seniors (and in some cases juniors) the opportunity to compete amongst each other in practice and game settings.

This has largely been a draft event for over 60 years to allow seniors to showcase talents and for NFL personnel to get an up close and personal look at them performing.
