Let’s watch some pre-draft football!
The Senior Bowl has been holding practices all week and now it's time for the actual game. Washington Commanders GM Adam Peters was in Mobile this week along with other members of the scouting department. Washington just finished their season on Sunday with a bad loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game, and are looking to reload the roster for next season.
Who:
The Reese’s Senior Bowl announced that Cleveland Browns Assistant Head Coach and Special Teams Coordinator Bubba Ventrone (American team) and New York Giants Offensive Coordinator Mike Kafka (National team) will serve as head coaches for the 76th Reese’s Senior Bowl to be played on Saturday February 1, 2025, at Hancock Whitney Stadium on the campus of the University of South Alabama. All three days of practice will be televised on both NFL Network and ESPN and the game itself will be aired live on the NFL Network at 1:30 CT (local time). The Browns have the second overall pick, and the Giants own the third selection in the 2025 NFL draft.
This is the third year the Senior Bowl is implementing a “Coach Up” format where coordinators and assistant coaches are placed into elevated or different roles from the ones they currently hold with their respective clubs. Head coaches and general managers from all non-playoff teams and Wild Card round participants had the opportunity to nominate assistant coaches and those candidates were then selected by a group comprised of league office executives and representatives from the General Managers Advisory Committee. In total, at least one coach from 13 different teams that submitted nominations was chosen for this year’s game.
In addition to the head coach appointees, the following individuals were selected as coordinators for the American and National squads:
