2015 Senior Bowl: Top Prospects to Watch from The Mothership

The 2015 Senior Bowl is almost upon us and that means scouting departments across the NFL are preparing to evaluate many of the 110 players heading to Mobile, Alabama, site of the Senior Bowl, beginning on Monday.

These players, who were hand-picked by the suggestions of NFL personnel men, scouts and evaluators, will have a week's worth of practice to impress the decision-makers that will ultimately choose whether to bring them into their organization, whether it be via the draft or as a free agent if they aren't selected later this spring.

Way back when: 1967 - Packers win first Super Bowl at LA Coliseum from Tulsa World

The National Football League's Green Bay Packers, led by quarterback Bart Starr, defeated the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League 35-10 in the first Super Bowl game. A sell-out had been expected for the game in the 93,000-seat Los Angeles Coliseum, but attendance was only 63,036.

The drive culminated with a fourth-and-goal play from the Denver 2 with 18 seconds remaining.

When Manning closes door, a window will open -- and Chiefs must be first ones through it from FS Kansas City

See that mess in Denver right now? Well, you're up next, Big Red. A division turns its lonely eyes to you. Woo, woo, woo.

We're getting ahead of ourselves, of course. Manning, 38 years not young, hasn't said whether he'll return to the Broncos for an 18th NFL season. But he left it curiously and suspiciously open-ended following a second home playoff loss over the last three Januaries.

Then his coach bailed.

Or fell on the sword. Or walked away while falling on the sword. Whatever.

Now defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio is expected to do the same, with reports having him being handed the keys to the Oakland Raiders, and Godspeed there, champ.

And, just like that, John Elway's unsinkable ship is notable now for the tempo at which the rats appear to be fleeing it.
