OU football: Jalen Hurts 'soaking it up' back in Alabama for Senior Bowl

MOBILE, Ala. — Jalen Hurts and Shea Patterson started for two Power 5 programs, Justin Herbert passed for 10,000-plus yards for another and Jordan Love became a highly-rated prospect without playing for one.

The Senior Bowl quarterbacks followed different paths to potential NFL careers, but they started this week on a more even playing field ahead of Saturday's game. All had to get familiar with new receivers and new, albeit vanilla, offenses.

They had three practices and the game to separate themselves before the combine and private team visits.

"I'm just taking the opportunity to prove myself any way I can out here, competing with the best athletes in the country," said Michigan's Patterson, who started his career at Mississippi.
