Senior Bowl will be different than last year, but perhaps just as important

MOBILE, Ala. -- The Steelers have many ways they can upgrade their roster during the offseason, and ideally a strong draft in April will help them accomplish that goal.

The practices ahead of the Senior Bowl game at Hancock Whitney Stadium begin Tuesday. During three days of practices, representatives from all 32 teams will meet with 125 players doing everything they can to elevate their stock ahead of the NFL Scouting Combine in early March.

Last offseason, the Steelers traveled to Mobile, Ala., with an obvious need at quarterback, so most of the attention focused on Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis and a few other quarterbacks due to Ben Roethlisberger's retirement.
