Offensive lineman Justin Senior wants to “dominate” at Senior Bowl
Justin Senior will begin his off-season audition for NFL employment against pretty stiff competition.
The six-foot-five, 310-pound Mississippi State offensive tackle will participate in the Senior Bowl next week in Mobile, Ala. Senior had originally committed to playing in the East-West Shrine Game, which goes Saturday at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., before accepting an invitation last week to the Senior Bowl, the annual showcase event for American college football’s top seniors.
“The East-West Shrine game is a great bowl,” Senior said in a telephone interview. “If I could play in both I would but the Senior Bowl gave me more of an opportunity to train longer and it has a bit more notoriety so I decided to go there.”
Senior and the other invitees arrive in Mobile on Monday and begin practising the following day. Senior will play for the South squad, which will be coached by the Cleveland Browns’ staff, while the Chicago Bears coaches will handle the North team.
