The 2025 NFL Draft once again proved the value of the Reese’s Senior Bowl, and Jets fans have reason to take notice. New York selected five players who showcased their talent in Mobile, including first-round offensive tackle Armand Membou. This year’s draft marked a milestone for the Senior Bowl, as it produced 106 total draft picks — a staggering 41% of all selections. With every NFL team drafting at least one Senior Bowler, and high-impact talent emerging from the event, the Senior Bowl continues to be a key piece of the league’s scouting puzzle.
Here is the Press Release from the Senior Bowl below.
The Reese’s Senior Bowl had 106 players selected (out of 257 total drafted) in the 2025 NFL Draft, which means 41% of the entire NFL Draft is from the Senior Bowl. This marks the fifth consecutive year where Senior Bowl draft picks have accounted for at least 40% of the entire class, and prior to 2021, the Senior Bowl had never had 100 players drafted in a single year, which makes this also the fifth straight year the game has hit triple-digits.
