On Wednesday, the Senior Bowl revealed the coaches for the 2023 contest, which will include a unique format. To encourage emerging coaching talent in the league, the Senior Bowl will adopt a new "coach up" model this year.
The purpose of this new structure is to encourage career progression. Coordinators and coaching staff are given more essential or diverse positions than they have with their individual clubs with the new style.
2023 Senior Bowl Coaches
The first overall pick in the draft belongs to the Chicago Bears, while the seventh pick belongs to the Las Vegas Raiders. Luke Getsy, the offensive coordinator for the Bears, will lead the American team at the 74th Reese's Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. Patrick Graham, the defensive coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, will lead the national team.
The coaching staff for the game will include assistant special teams coach Carlos Polk, assistant tight end coach Tim Zetts, and linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi. Grady Brown, the defensive backs coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers, will assist in leading the national team at the Senior Bowl.
From January 31 to February 2, there will be workouts at Hancock Whitney Stadium on the University of South Alabama campus in Mobile, Alabama. The match will be played on Saturday, February 4 (2:30 p.m. ET on NFL Network).
Ahead of the game, senior prospects and some juniors graduating early will battle in drills, allowing NFL coaches, recruiters, and personnel managers to see and assess the athletes.
According to the Senior Bowl, 106 of the prospects that took part in the 2022 Senior Bowl were selected in the first round of the draft last April.
