Senior Bowl

FGiant : 1/20/2021 9:45 am
Still on jan30th https://www.seniorbowl.com/

Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic altering many offseason plans, the 2021 Senior Bowl will still take place in Mobile, Alabama, albeit with some slight alterations.

This year's game will occur on January 30, 2021. Practices will be closed to the public this year and several off-the-field events will not occur, but the game itself will happen with a significantly reduced capacity to comply with local and state government public heath orders.

Why can’t they have the combine?
Can't wait to see who Dave falls in "full bloom love" with this year!

Different rules in Alabama vs Indiana

Why not just move the combine? There has to be another reason. I think it’s the fact the the combine is an NFL sanctioned event while the senior bowl is a NCAA event. NFL doesn’t want the liability if someone gets sick, doesn’t and doesn’t get drafted as a result.
The list of accepted invitees is EXTREMELY impressive.

Starting out with DeVonta Smith and Mac Jones and Kyle Trask, the WR position is incredibly stacked.

But Smith showing up? This kid has to.be the Alpha of all dogs.

Whoops

Look at the WRs, scroll down. - ( New Window )
Lots of looks there at high ceiling WRs  
BelieveJJ : 1/20/2021 10:56 am : link
who won't go in the first round, most likely:

Stevenson
Wallace
Toney
Grimes
Rodgers
Collins

Serious WR depth there!

The combine is a multi-day event that is almost exclusively indoors and is bringing in hundreds of players as well as hundreds of scouts, coaches and executives. It would be far more difficult to pull off seamlessly and without there being a lot of attention on protocols and safety
I would love Toney on this team  
rasbutant : 1/20/2021 11:11 am : link
but he is the classic, I want him but I'm not willing to pay the price for him. He might be there in round 2, but there will be bigger needs and better fits.

The senior bowl is a multi day event also. You Could easily move the venue indoors and limit the amount of people that attend. Players can easily be segregated into small groups. Has to be another reason.
