With the Reese’s Senior Bowl week set to begin on Jan. 30, I wanted to take some time and preview each position group. Jonathan Heitritter and I will be down in Mobile, Ala., covering the event for the site. This is not meant to be a comprehensive dive into each player, but a foundation to know what to expect once practices get underway. This list will be based on the accepted invite list on the Senior Bowl website, which can and will change in the days leading up to the event.
As always, we will provide a deep dive into each player with draft profiles — we have already started posting them — all the way up until the 2024 NFL Draft on April 25.
The Senior Bowl will be a little different this season as eligibility has been expanded to college juniors instead of the traditional seniors-only model.
Here are the position groups already covered:
Quarterbacks
Inside Linebackers
Interior Offensive Linemen
Next up, the offensive tackles. This position group carries additional intrigue this year as Steelers assistant OL coach Isaac Williams will be coaching the American Team OL group.
