2020 Senior Bowl: Team rosters
By John Buhler
The 2020 Senior Bowl will be playing out in Mobile, Alabama on Saturday afternoon. Here are the rosters of the players who will be playing in the game.
The 2020 Senior Bowl has arrived.
We are only a few weeks away from the 2020 NFL Draft. Teams will be looking at all sorts of draft prospects to make their team better. Though underclassmen often steal the show, the Senior Bowl is always a marquee event in the lead-up to the draft. This year’s crop of college seniors playing in this college football all-star game down in Mobile is one of the best in recent memory.
Coaching the North Team will be Matt Patricia’s Detroit Lions staff. His team has the No. 3 overall pick, as starting quarterback Matthew Stafford succumbed to injury mid-way through the season. The result wasn’t great and Detroit will look to improve on a season that quickly slipped away from them.
Coaching the South Team will be Zac Taylor‘s Cincinnati Bengals staff. Cincinnati finished with the worst record in football at 2-14. It was not a great first year for Taylor in Cincinnati, but the Bengals will look to land their new franchise quarterback in the upcoming draft. The Bengals are expected to take LSU Tigers quarterback Joe Burrow No. 1 overall, but things could change.
Highlighting the North Team on the offensive side of the ball includes Michigan Wolverines quarterback Shea Patterson and Baylor Bears wide receiver Denzel Mims. Starring on the defensive side of the ball for the North are Wisconsin Badgers outside linebacker Zack Baun and Utah Utes defensive tackle Leki Fotu.

Starring on the defensive side of the ball for the South are Florida Gators defensive end Jabari Zuniga and Alabama Crimson Tide linebacker Anfernee Jennings.

Saturday is a great opportunity for all involved. Frankly, the same can be said for those who have spent the entire week down in Mobile. These players will have an opportunity to showcase their talents before the NFL Scouting Combine. The Bengals and Lions’ staffs have a chance to get better. NFL team scouts will have a better feel for what this senior class has to offer.
Which of these seniors will become superstars on your favorite NFL team?
