How the hell did Jake Coker get a Senior Bowl invite over Brandon Allen?

Senior bowl is about NFL prospectus is it not?

Is it a popularity contest?

Cause it's in Mobile.

Yes, entirely. NFL coaches and personnel send the invites and coach the teams.

No, it's about yards passing. Lol

The eye test: an Alabama tradition unlike any other.

This may partially answer your question... Plus Coker is from Mobile and they want to ensure a crowd, bringing Bama players in helps do that.

They know who and what team draws the crowd.

I thought that the players NFL scouts weren't sure about got the invites so they could evaluate them more.

One is a quarterback who is currently leading his team to the CFB playoffs.
The other's biggest claim to fame is throwing a ball to Hunter Henry which Hunter Henry proceeded to lateral back for the biggest play in Arkansas program history.
In short, Coker is a better quarterback.

is coker really a better prospect? legit question, he's a good qb from what i've seen so not trying to insult him but i don't pay much attention to these things.
Posted on 12/15/15 at 3:19 pm to Gladius Veritas
Cause coker is 6'5 240, can throw it 70 yards and can run, and has flashed incredible playmaking ability at times, plus grittiness. They want to see him in that setting

I actually think the time at FSU behind crab claw hurt him. I have been amazed at how far he has come under Kiffin this year. He actually has the size and a lot of other things that would make a good NFL QB but he needs a lot more training. Someone may pick him up and see if they can work with him.

Same reason Tebow won the Heisman over McFadden. Nobody knows.

Coker is much a more dynamic quarterback. Allen would be worthless without Hunter Henry bailing him out every single play.

Yes, that's why he got invited, they want to see more of him.
Not to say either him or Allen will be drafted though...

as someone else said, brandon is not 6'5" 240- that's probably part of it.
