The Senior Bowl’s practice sessions have relevance to the scouting of the assembled players. For some players, participating in the practices is enough.

 

This year, plenty of players won’t be playing in the game.

 

Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has decided not to play, we’re told, even though he was supposed to start for the National squad. Oregon quarterback Bo Nix will play only a couple of series. That leaves Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman to take the bulk of the snaps for the National team.

 

 

Thoughts?

Golf clap for you good sir

There’s too much stiff competition.

I don't think he's that good. 

 

I think he's pretty good, but he won't last long in then NFL.  He's very breakable.

The absolute best thing to happen to Sam Hartman probably. Sucks to not see all the guys play.

 

Doug Whaley has already claimed Hartman has "that It Factor"...

Not worth risking an injury if his camp knows there is already interest from teams.

Right. The game is actually less important than the week long practices for evaluation purposes.

it’s not a required event, and frankly agents could put on any workout style event they want for their players in the off-season. The top handful of agencies could easily collaborate to create an open practice week, instead of hijacking the practice sessions for a game. 

 

I don't think it is the practice that attracts them. It is the interview opportunities.

even easier to organize without ruining the game at the end. Penix could hang out with any team he wants for extended time.

I heard that he was facing some friction regarding his decision, but he's always been a stand-up guy so I think he was worried that he wouldn't be able to perform for 60 minutes and would disappoint at the climactic moments. His performance would need to be consistent for the entire time but there is a worry that there would be too many ups and downs. There was also concern that he would a rough time of it and would take too much of a beating. Also, his two closest friends are nuts and his back-door neighbor is an ####### and they've been messing with his head. Could it become a blown opportunity?
