4. Appreciate the visual spectacle

It’s a fun kaleidoscope of helmets that scatter across the field every time the Senior Bowl takes place.

Many enjoy seeing the burnt orange Longhorns alongside the crimson and cream interlocking OU helmet. Others, the swooshing Wolverine next to the bejeweled Buckeye head cover. And, of course, you’ll spot a share of Crimson Tide numbers and Clemson paw prints just a few weeks after the Tigers’ ultimate triumph.

But do you think you’d recognize a Monarch from Old Dominion or a Duke from James Madison? Or how about an Aggie from UC Davis or a Leatherneck from Western Illinois?

In recent years, we’ve been treated to helmet decals from the North Dakota State Bison, the North Carolina A&T Aggies, the Delaware Blue Hens, and the Weber State Wildcats, to name a few.
