Mobile, Ala. — The Senior Bowl has a focus on the future. More than 100 prospects from around the country are showcasing their physical gifts and mental acumen for hundreds of prospective employers. It's part of the early stages of a months-long job interview that will culminate for many during the NFL draft in late April.
But even though each player swaps out his college jersey for the white, black and orange Senior Bowl uniforms, they don their school's helmet for the event. It's the last time many of them will wear them.
