Draft season’s kickoff event is this week in Mobile, Ala. where scouts, coaches, and decision-makers from all 32 teams will gather to watch all-stars from across the country.
While the 2024 Senior Bowl is set for Feb. 3, the real action begins Tuesday when the players hit the practice field. That’s where many of the top prospects of the draft class will line up across from each other for one-on-one drills and get work with NFL coaches.

Latu has an argument as the top edge rusher of the class and has a strong chance at being a top 10 pick. If he slides into the middle of the first round, the Jaguars could certainly use another pass rusher to complement Josh…
