Senior Bowl 2017: While we wait for the Super Bowl, let’s talk prospects

Every year, some of the best senior prospects in America get invited to the Super Bowl, and we get to see how they fare. It’s one of the earliest post-college season opportunities for these guys to differentiate themselves from the pack and make connections with teams, and for the best players in particular, with the Falcons.

We’re happy to tell you that Charles McDonald, our resident film guru, will be at Senior Bowl all week and will be sharing a ton of great updates here, including players the Falcons show interest in. You’ll recall that in years past, Atlanta has scooped up a handful of players they spent a lot of time with in Mobile, and that will likely continue to be the case in 2017.

Here’s what you need to know this week, particularly if you want to watch the actual Senior Bowl.
