Top 2026 NFL draft prospects converge on Mobile, Alabama, for the annual Senior Bowl. The showcase begins Tuesday with practices and concludes with Saturday's game on NFL Network. Over 100 prospects will meet with all 32 teams, making this a critical evaluation week for scouts and general managers ahead of April's draft.

ESPN analysts Matt Miller, Jordan Reid, and Field Yates are on hand to break down key players. Miller is particularly focused on Florida DT Caleb Banks, whose health is a major storyline after a foot injury limited him to three games this season. A strong week could reignite his first-round buzz.

Beyond Banks, the event will spotlight quarterbacks and other position groups. Prospects will have three chances to impress in practice sessions broadcast on ESPN platforms. This week often separates fringe draft hopefuls from legitimate Day 1 and 2 picks, setting the stage for the pre-draft process.
