I can't find my answer on the web. But how are the rosters divided up for this game? How are the American and National teams split? Is it by region, conference, etc?

I think the senior bowl just divies them up as they see fit to create the most fair, competitive game.
 

Thanks. So you could have college teammates playing against each other in this game? In our case, Daniel and Boye are on the same team.

Wouldn't surprise me if they tried to keep college teammates on the same squad but no clue.
 








Does that lift him to the 1st round? Is he a better prospect than the guys from "big name" schools? His physical attributes say a lot too. Time will tell, but congrats to you Boye. Something nobody can take away from you for the rest of your life. You deserve this.

He’s hurt by this being a deeep year at edge. In another year he could be late 1st-mid 2nd potential I think. Most likely a 3rd rounder when all is said and done.

Yeah, 1st round is probably a stretch but very good chance he hears his name called before the end of day 2 of the draft.

I get that. There are some other studs out there. I'm just "maroon glassing". But I think he has opened some eyes that will improve his placement either way.
 





Man.

I know he was a great player for us. But why didn't he have even more sacks for us?? Anything to do with scheme or coaching, here?

Probably not. Apologies, hate to derail and go negative. Just feels like he should've had 50 sacks for us, and somehow we biffed it.

Great job Boye!!

Our defense has been super well coached. In real games players need todo their jobs, including contain responsibility, run fits, etc. I didn’t watch the senior bowl, but assume it’s a little easier to play “hero ball” where you can go all in on making the big play.

“Mafe’s growth was gradual. The Minnesota DE didn’t become a star overnight. He came to Minnesota at just 218 pounds, with a 4.95 40-yard dash and a vertical just over 32 inches. But lots of hard work in the weight room and positional drills piled up. Mafe maximized himself — the results eventually followed.”

I don't think he is hurt by the fact there are a lot of good edge rushers this year. I suspect a few of the "good" ones from helmet schools will be hurt by Boye jumping ahead of them.

He had a storybook Senior Bowl. Now, next month, who of the bigger name guys will have better stats than Mafe at the combine? Boye is a fabulous football player but there may never have been born a guy better suited to the combine skills measurements than BM34.

Mafe essentially said so earlier in the week. In games like this you can showcase your individual talents where during the season you have different responsibilities depending on the situation.

Would be awesome if BM found his way to the first round. Will need a big combine but he definitely opened a lot of eyes at the senior bowl.

Has also a great attitude, works hard in addition to the fact that he has great character partly due to what he has learned from Fleck.

1st round? No. Not yet anyways. But he definitely has opened some eyes up and will shoot up the boards based on the results of this week.
Now if he performs like a freak at the combine I could see him easily enter the 2nd round with a chance at being one of those “wow” surprise 1st round picks.

If he doesn't go 1st round, eventually 32 GMs are going to look stupid.

You may well be right. I’m not predicting based on what I want to happen/should happen, but rather what I think will happen.
 

Mafe and Fa’alele will be gone in the first three rounds.

It is too bad Esezi Otomewo got dinged and didn’t play.

Blaise Andries not playing in the East West Shrine Bowl due injury was also a bummer.

I hope these two guys are able to get an NFL combine invite.
