QB's Ryan, Brohm Out of Senior Bowl

The consensus top-2 Quarterbacks in the 2008 NFL Draft - Matt Ryan (Boston College) and Brian Brohm (Louisville) - have both decided not to participate in the Senior Bowl, held annually in Mobile, AL.

While surely disappointing for scouts, coaches, and GM's who plan to be in attendance both during Senior Bowl practice week and the game itself, these sorts of decisions are not uncommon with respect to Draft prospects who already rate as very high picks. In addition to avoiding any injuries that could hamper individual workouts they will hold, the goal of Ryan, Brohm and their agents here is to not give NFL teams any reason to regard them less highly in this year's Draft.
