The post-season all-star game, which touts itself as the “preeminent college football all-star game and the first stage in the NFL Draft process” has taken place in Mobile, Alabama for the past 73 years, making it the longest, continual running college all-star game. Last year, the Senior Bowl produced 106 total draft picks for the second consecutive year.
The 2023 edition of the Senior Bowl will take place Saturday, Feb. 3 at 1:30 pm CST and will air on the NFL Network.
