The Senior Bowl is another chance for college football players to prove their value for the upcoming NFL draft.
In the past, the event, which is held annually in Mobile, Alabama, has featured only seniors. However, the 2025 Bowl will be the second straight season underclassmen eligible for the 2025 NFL draft can play in the game.

Neither player played in the East-West Shrine Bowl, which was played on Thursday in Denton, Texas. While Sanders did not participate in practices or the game of the Shrine Bowl, he did meet with teams, including the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants. Those three teams hold the top three picks in the 2025 NFL draft scheduled for April 24 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Sanders’ brother safety Shilo Sanders, wide receivers LaJohntay Wester, Will Sheppard, and Jimmy Horn Jr., as well as defensive back Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig, are among the Buffaloes‘ players expected to participate in the Shrine Bowl on Team West.
