As is always the case, the event is well attended by Alabama players, with quarterback Jalen Milroe, safety Malachi Moore, defensive lineman Tim Smith, tight end CJ Dippre, and punter James Burnip featured in the game.

Their head coach Kalen DeBoer took the time this week to travel to the event and support his players, taking a picture with all five of them:

The game routinely sees over 100 of its players drafted and it is considered to be the unofficial start to the draft process, giving players a massive opportunity to be able showcase their skills in front of the people who will ultimately dictate where they get drafted.

The week consists of three practices for each of the two teams before the game on Saturday afternoon at Hancock-Whitney Stadium on the campus of the South Alabama Jaguars.
