With just one game left on the NFL calendar this season, it’s time for 30 of the league’s 32 franchises to regroup and look to the future.
Each year, the Senior Bowl marks the unofficial start of the NFL Draft process. More than 120 top college players from around the country have made the trip to Mobile, Ala., to display their talent in front of scouts and staff from every NFL team.

This year’s rosters, for the American and National teams, are stacked. Some of the biggest names include Max Duggan, who led TCU to a national championship game appearance, and Kenny McIntosh, who won the title with Georgia against Duggan’s Horned Frogs.

Senior Bowl 2023 live updates
(All times Eastern.)
3:12 p.m. — A short punt, plus a penalty, gives the National side fantastic field position with 30 seconds left in the quarter. Let’s see if they can add to their lead.
3:10 p.m. — Tune starts the drive with a short completion to Mingo, but has to throw it away on the next play. On 3rd and 7, another Tune pass falls incomplete and the American team will be forced to punt out of its own end zone.
3:08 p.m. — A Haener pass on 3rd and 9 misses its target and falls incomplete, bringing out the National team’s punt unit for the first time today.
3:06 p.m. — Chase Brown is here today with his brother and Illinois teammate, Sydney Brown. The Canadian duo are playing together once again as they audition for the NFL.
3:03 p.m. — Illinois RB Chase Brown rumbles for a few yards and another first down, and that’ll take us to the two-minute warning. That’s right, there will be a two-minute warning in every quarter of this game. Possession will switch at the end of each quarter, essentially allowing the scouts in attendance to see how all of the players out there handle clock management situations.
3:01 p.m. — On 3rd and 4, Haener makes a great throw over the middle to a crossing Jayden Reed. The Michigan State receiver catches and runs up to the 32-yard line to keep the drive alive.
3:00 p.m. — Who will take home the MVP award today?

2:58 p.m. — A great punt by Rutgers’ Adam Korsak and some good special teams play leads to the ball being downed at the 1-yard line. That’s where the National team will start its second offensive drive of the day.
2:57 p.m. — They do go for it, and it looks briefly like they got a big gain, but an offensive hands to the face penalty will bring it back. The American team will be forced to punt this one away.
2:55 p.m. — Georgia RB Kenny McIntosh drops a pass that hit him right in the hands, and the American side faces 3rd and 10. A short gain on a catch by Oklahoma RB Eric Gray brings up 4th and 4, but it looks like the offense will stay on the field to go for this.
2:53 p.m. — A few plays later, Tune throws a strike to Ole Miss WR Jonathan Mingo for a gain of 15 yards to move the ball across midfield.
2:51 p.m. — Houston’s Clayton Tune starts the game at QB for the American team. On the first play of the drive, he throws a short pass to Alabama tight end Cameron Late for a quick gain of 11.
National 3, American 0
2:48 p.m. FIELD GOAL — Maryland kicker Chad Ryland knocks it through from 32 yards out to open the scoring for the afternoon. The biggest star on that drive was definitely Hull, who showed off his powerful running style on a few big plays.
2:46 p.m. — On 3rd and goal, UNC-Charlotte wide receiver Grant DuBose gets called for a suspect offensive pass interference penalty to wipe a touchdown off the board. Haener’s pass to Wilson goes incomplete on the following play, so this will be a field goal try.
2:44 p.m. — A Haener throw to Purdue tight end Payne Durham sets up 1st and goal.
2:42 p.m. — Hull pushes the pile on another nice run to move the ball into the red zone for the National squad.
2:40 p.m. — On the first play from scrimmage, Northwestern RB Evan Hull takes the handoff and bursts through the line to pick up about 25 yards. He took a big hit at the end of that play, but looks alright. On the next play, Fresno State QB Jake Haener zips a pass to Stanford WR Michael Wilson to pick up another big chunk of yardage.
2:38 p.m. — The National team will receive the ball first to start this game.
2:32 p.m. — NFL Draft season has unofficially begun. Kickoff in the 2023 Senior Bowl is just moments away.
2:20 p.m. — Today’s game will feature two teams, American and National, that are made up of some of the top senior NFL Draft prospects from the NCAA. They’ll be looking to show off their talents in front of a large group of assembled NFL scouts.
2:07 p.m. — It’s a beautiful day in Mobile.
