The practices this week leading up to the game are more important to a scout than the game itself.
None of the top 3 QBs are playing.
College All-Star Games
The offseason team-building schedule will get fully underway next weekend with the two biggest college All-Star games, the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl. Last year, the Patriots coaching staff coached one team in the Shrine Bowl, while defensive line coach DeMarcus Covington was part of the coaching staff in Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl. As always, plenty of attention will be focused on these collections of draftable talent.
The Shrine Bowl offers more potential late-round selections, and the Patriots made the most of their up-close experience with the prospects at the game last year by selecting DeMario Douglas and Atonio Mafi, who both made solid contributions as rookies.
The Senior Bowl traditionally has more top-rated prospects and this year intriguing quarterbacks Michael Penix and Bo Nix are both expected to at least take part in practices for the National team. Patriots wide receiver coach Troy Brown will serve as the American team's offensive coordinator. Last offseason Brown served as one of the head coaches in the Shrine Bowl and will continue to build on that external experience in 2024.
Shrine Bowl practices will take place January 29 and 30, with the game being played on Thursday, February 1. The Senior Bowl's practices will occur from January 30 – February 1, with the game being played on Saturday, February 3.
Finally, the HBCU Combine and Legacy Bowl will close things out on February 24 from New Orleans. Last year the Patriots were the only team to select a player from the HBCU, Jackson State's Isaiah Bolden. Former Patriots Director of Personnel Scott Pioli will serve as one of the game's analysts.
