The Senior Bowl is an annual collegiate football post-season game. It is a premier all-star game, showcasing top senior players from across the country. The event is held annually in Mobile, Alabama, and the event brings together the best NFL prospects for a week of intense practices and a competitive game. The event has traditionally taken place in January and February.
Senior Bowl acts as a bridge between collegiate and professional football, giving players an opportunity to impress scouts, coaches, and executives from all 32 NFL teams. Two teams compete in the Senior Bowl, where players are rostered into the North and South divisions. Since 2021, however, the teams have changed from North and South to American and National divisions.
