Apparently a lot of the scouts don’t even stick around for the game—just go for the practices. If that’s true, probably a smart decision. I think nix only played one series for the same reason
Hard to blame him for wanting to improve his draft stock without taking the risk of injury in a game. Would playing well in the game even have helped him at this point?
These games are kind of a joke. If the scouts and coaches were all there for the practices, and Penix performed well, why the fuck would he risk screwing up in a stupid all-star game?

I get it but just more bullshit. Practice all week then pull out last minute. Reps could’ve gone else where. Not a fan of this.
It’s lame, but I kinda get it.
Participation trophy!
Cool...
Agent advice most likely. Don't like it but maybe it works. His draft is all about the medicals.

Reps?
To prepare for the big game?
Gimme a break.
it's very lame
Probably injury
I have never watched a Senior Bowl and nobody else has either. The second I start caring is the second I should be culled.
I’ve watched in the past because the season was over and I didn’t want it to end. I also used to watch the pro bowl for the same reason.
I get it.
if he would’ve had a bad week he’d have played. He didn’t need to after having such a solid week
still don’t have to be ok with it.
Flag football tim, NFL does it in pro bowel
not a bad idea
If we're bashing raw practice reps followed by a well timed pull out, I'm out.
It means he felt he did enough in practices to impress scouts. Not a huge deal to not play in the game itself.
Won't somebody think of the sanctity of the GRANDADDY of all postseason invitational all star showcase bowl games???
