Bulldog Trio Begins Senior Bowl Workouts
ATHENS-----Three former University of Georgia standouts –linebacker
Tony Taylor, defensive lineman Quentin Moses, and tight end Martrez
Milner -- are among the 100 top NFL draft prospects participating in
the 2007 Under Armour Senior Bowl this week in Mobile, Alabama.
The Bulldog trio will play on the Senior Bowl’s South squad, which is
being coached by San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Nolan and his
staff. The North squad will be coached by Tampa Bay Buccaneers head
coach Jon Gruden and his staff.
Taylor posted his finest season as a Bulldog in 2006, earning most
valuable honors after leading the team with 96 tackles and seven
interceptions. He was a second team All-SEC selection by the Associated
Press (AP) and SEC coaches. Moses, a third team AP All-American,
registered a team-high 32 quarterback pressures, tallied 33 tackles and
had 4.5 sacks this past season. Milner, a first team All-SEC pick, led
Georgia in receiving with 30 catches for 425 yards and three touchdowns
in 2006.
In 2006, 15 Senior Bowl players were chosen in the first-round of the
NFL Draft, and more than 90 percent of the Senior Bowl players are
chosen in the draft each year.
This year’s players will have one practice per day during Senior Bowl
Week, January 22-26, capped off by the 58th annual Under Armour Senior
Bowl game on Saturday, January 27. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. in
Mobile’s Ladd-Peebles Stadium, and the NFL Network will nationally
televise the contest.
Fans will also be able to follow the players’ progress through the NFL
Network’s complete coverage of this year’s Senior Bowl practices, as
over 14 hours of Senior Bowl content will air during the week.
The Senior Bowl is the nation’s most unique football game and
football’s premier pre-draft event, annually featuring the country’s
best senior NFL draft prospects on teams representing the North and
South that are coached by the entire coaching staffs from two National
Football League teams. More than 700 NFL coaches, scouts and other
front office personnel each year, also attend the Senior Bowl.
The Senior Bowl is also a non-profit, charitable event that has donated
more than $4 million through the Food World-Senior Bowl Charitable
Partnership over the last ten years. For more information, visit the
