The 2023 Reese’s Senior Bowl takes place today in Mobile, Alabama.
The annual game provides another opportunity for NFL teams to evaluate some of the top college players before they head off to the annual Scouting Combine later this month in Indianapolis. The game was first played in 1950 at the Gator Bowl in Florida before moving to Mobile the following year, where it has remained.
Here is how to watch the game, plus some additional info on players and positions that might be of interest to the Cleveland Browns in the 2023 NFL Draft.

He made every rep look easy, showing off nice quicks and good hands.
