The 2016 Senior Bowl will host some of the nation's best draft-eligible college football players, coached by the entire staffs of the Dallas Cowboys (North) and the Jacksonville Jaguars (South). Representatives from all 32 NFL teams will be in attendance to study the players who could end up on their draft boards in April.

Each coach and team also brings their training, video and equipment staffs to give players a comprehensive experience ahead of their NFL journey. The Senior Bowl has been played since 1950, with over 500 NFL players having first competed in this contest.
The teams are split mostly by conference, with all players from the SEC and most from the Big 12 on the South team, and most Big Ten and Pac-12 players on Team North. The rest of the conferences are split between the two teams, with each roster holding 55 players -- Ohio State leads the North and Alabama leads the South, with both schools represented by five players.
Quarterbacks are a big draw in this year's NFL Draft, and several are looking for their chance to impress scouts at Saturday's game. For the North, Carson Wentz (North Dakota State), Cody Kessler (USC), Kevin Hogan (Stanford) and Jeff Driskel (Louisiana Tech) will take the snaps, and Dak Prescott (Mississippi State), Jake Coker (Alabama), Jacoby Brissett (NC State) and Brandon Allen (Arkansas) will line up under center for the South.
There is a lot of potential first-round talent in this year’s Senior Bowl, but people with big upsides could end up falling short by the end of the weekend. In addition to their on-field performance, scouts and team executives had the chance to interview players and get a better feel of who could be a good fit for their organization.
