The Senior Bowl is college football’s top postseason game. The game features the cream of the crop from the senior class as they gear up for the NFL Draft.
Senior Bowl participants spend a week in Mobile, Alabama, meeting with NFL teams. While they hope to impress scouts and coaches, their peers also take notice.
Ahead of Saturday’s game, Senior Bowl director Jim Nagy shared the Practice Players of the Week. All Practice Players of the Week are voted on by their opposing peers.
Cool thing about @seniorbowl Player-of-Week awards is that voting is done by the guys who they’ve been competing directly against in practice. DB vote on WR, OL vote on DL, etc. Announcing this year’s winners in next hour…#TheDraftStartsInMOBILE™️ pic.twitter.com/uEl7rSm0sr
