The week-long practice that precedes the game is attended by key NFL personnel (including [[coach (sport)|coaches]], [[general manager]]s and [[scout (sport)|scouts]]), who oversee the players as possible prospects for professional football. Athletes sometimes decline invitations to participate in the Senior Bowl, opting instead to prepare for the [[NFL scouting combine]] or their college's [[pro day]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Brugler|first=Dane|title=2015 NFL Draft: UCLA QB Brett Hundley declines Senior Bowl|date=January 14, 2015|work=CBSSports.com|url=http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/24962255/nfl-draft-ucla-qb-brett-hundley-declines-senior-bowl-invitation|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150129131854/http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/24962255/nfl-draft-ucla-qb-brett-hundley-declines-senior-bowl-invitation|archive-date=January 29, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>
