With college football in the rear view mirror, it’s only natural that the Senior Bowl gets all of the publicity and scouting attention that the game of football itself relinquished earlier in the month, after the National Championship was taken home by LSU. The Washington Redskins experienced that excitement firsthand in Mobile, Alabama.
The Senior Bowl is commonly a key checkpoint in the draft process, with some of the sport’s top seniors taking on the challenge of leaving their comfort zone, and performing with an unfamiliar team, against unfamiliar opposition. Teams often use the Senior Bowl not only to get an up-close look at traits, but to see how prospects respond to adversity and coaching in the moment.
