2016 Senior Bowl roster: Carson Wentz, Jake Coker lead all-star rosters

Carson Wentz is the quarterback most under the microscope, but wide receiver Braxton Miller has generated the most hype at the Senior Bowl.

The nation’s premier collegiate all-star game already drew NFL talent evaluators -- including coaches, scouts and general managers -- for a week of practices, but the game will kick off on Saturday afternoon in Mobile, Ala.

Some of the top talent in the 2016 NFL Draft will be on display, but no quarterback has been under the microscope more than North Dakota State's Carson Wentz. With the other top quarterback prospects (Jared Goff and Paxton Lynch) not in Mobile, Wentz has drawn most of the eyes and received mostly positive reviews for his showing during the week of practices.

Also on the North Team is Ohio State quarterback-turned-wide receiver Braxton Miller, who has easily stirred up more chatter among draft pundits than any other prospect at the Senior Bowl.

The North Team is coached by Jason Garrett and the Dallas Cowboys staff, while the South Team is led by Gus Bradley and the Jacksonville Jaguars coaches for a third straight year. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on NFL Network.

Here are the rosters for each team:
