NFL Announces First Batch Of Senior Bowl Attendees

While it may not seem like it, there are still seniors who participate in college sports and more than 60 of them have accepted invitations to the 2015 Senior Bowl.

The NFL announced Wednesday the first batch of invitees who have committed to play in the 2015 Senior Bowl, set for Jan. 24 in Mobile, Ala.

The Senior Bowl is one of the premiere pre-draft events for seniors who are preparing to enter the NFL, in part because it is coached by and run by NFL personnel.
