Defensive linemen Adrian Clayborn and Christian Ballard will be joined by quarterback Ricky Stanzi for the game.
“It's a job interview for the players, that's what it is, a job interview,” Ferentz said. “I think I'm pretty accurate in saying all of our guys who've gone down have improved their status, but you have to go down with the right attitude. It's not just a way to get a watch or a giftbag.”
The game is played in Mobile, Ala., where NFL coaches and scouts can give prospects a thorough look. It goes from medical to mental to what they can actually do on the field. The teams also are coached by NFL staffs.
The Senior Bowl has been a showcase for college seniors since the 1950s.
Ferentz has sent 18 players to the Senior Bowl, starting with running back Ladell Betts in 2002 and including linebacker A.J. Edds last year. Seventeen of those players made NFL rosters, 15 were drafted and 14 are still playing in the league.
