My son was invited to a couple of these senior bowls this year and chose the Tropical because it was the earliest one. As far as the scouts go its the same for all of the bowl games. They are all there for the practices and about half of them stay for the game. The NFL teams that are interested in certain players are allotted time to interview them one on one.
How did his season go? I saw that it looked good later in the season, when I last looked and then posted on egriz. Didn't look after that. Getting invited to that bowl game was good, obviously. How did he play and what was his experience? I looked his name up on the roster.
Thanks for asking. He had a good season and got off to a great start. Played the Buck/Edge. First game was a wash stat wise as starters only played about 15 plays. Had 11 tackles and a sack week 2 vs Youngstown St. Unfortunately in that game they lost all 3 starting LB's for the season so they switched to 3-4 and he had to play 4I as one of the 3 down lineman the rest of the way.
In 10 games finished with 7.5 sacks.
Fortunately he had a great Senior bowl(They played him out side) so he passed on the 2nd bowl in Mobile.
Had 8 tackles 5TFLs's 4 sacks, 2 strip sacks(One scoop and score)
I attached the highlights below
