For 30 other NFL franchises, the next calendar event is the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, Michigan. The seven-round extravaganza's process never really stops around the league, it just slows down. This week, one of the biggest pre-draft milestones is the Reese's Senior Bowl. Mobile, Alabama has hosted the event for decades and it only continues to grow.
The NFL says "30% of the NFL is composed of Senior Bowl alumni," while 53 future Hall of Famers have graced Senior Bowl rosters in its 75-year history. The Kansas City Chiefs, like many of their counterparts, have a long line tracing back to the Senior Bowl one way or another. Quarterback Len Dawson played in the 1957 game, while Derrick Thomas played in the 1989 iteration. Those two are just one of many notable Chiefs on the all-time Senior Bowl roster.
In 2023, Kansas City's 53-man roster is comprised of 16 former Senior Bowl participants, 30.2% of the roster. Additionally, their injured reserve and practice squad features plenty of the same. As one of two NFL-supported college all-star games, the Senior Bowl is incredibly important for NFL prospects, both rising and falling. Which current Chiefs walked through Mobile en route to an NFL career?
