Inclement weather forced the teams to move both of Wednesday’s practices for the Reese’s Senior Bowl to the afternoon. The North practiced from noon to 2 p.m. CT with the South practicing from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT
With the weather cool, chilly and rainy, players as well as spectators did their best to stay warm. A few players were cited as standouts. Here’s what a few folks on hand in Birmingham had to say about the session when they weren’t busy trying to stay warm and dry.
It's cold, wet and a slight breeze. Imagine some footing issues, but curious to see how QBs spin the ball and control it. #SeniorBowl
