The rosters are in place for the Reese's Senior Bowl with both teams set to feature top talent on their way to the NFL Draft. The Atlanta Falcons coaching staff will instruct the North team, while the Jacksonville Jaguars will coach the South team. The annual all-star game allows for NFL-ready talent to increase their stock prior to the NFL Combine and individual pro days. With a record number of talented underclassmen entering the annual selection process, the Senior Bowl will be extremely important for the older prospects this year.
While the game itself is important, teams and media will attend open practices all week. These practices will give scouts a chance to get a personal view at the prospects and their various abilities. Several players will want to answer questions about their mechanics, work ethic and abilities during this period.

hyped this year as I rate all of the QB's this year in it aside from Stephen Morris for now. I like the way the teams were make. North has the RB, OL, DL, DB advantage while the South has the WR, TE, LB, ST advantage. The QB's battle is neck and neck for this event. I can't wait.
