Reese's Senior Bowl

The Senior Bowl is a traditional post-season college football all-star game that takes place annually in Mobile, Alabama. Typically, the game is held on a Saturday in late January or early February. This event serves as a showcase for top NFL draft prospects who have completed their college eligibility, providing them with a platform to impress NFL scouts, coaches, and executives. The game also gives draft prospects a chance to experience how pro-rules NFL works. Founded in 1950, the Senior Bowl has evolved into a significant event in the NFL's pre-draft process. The inaugural game was held at Gator Bowl Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, before moving to Mobile's Ladd–Peebles Stadium, where it remained until 2020. Since 2021, the game has been hosted at Hancock Whitney Stadium on the campus of the University of South Alabama. Over its 75-year history, the Senior Bowl has featured many legendary players, including Hall of Famers like Joe Namath and Walter Payton, and has become a critical stepping stone for many athletes aiming for professional football careers. According to the NFL, approximately 30% of 2024-25 NFL rosters consist of Senior Bowl alumni.

The Senior Bowl typically features two teams—popularly known as the National and American squads—coached by staff from two NFL teams. This setup allows players to experience coaching styles that differ from their college programs. The game is played under modified professional rules to better prepare players for the NFL. For instance, receivers must have both feet in bounds for catches, contrasting with college rules that only require one foot. In recent years, the format has been updated to include advisory roles for head coaches while promoting assistant coaches to leadership positions. This change aims to enhance player development during the week leading up to the game.
