"Senior Bowl 2024: Penix Sits Out, Nix and Rattler Limited - Standout Performances and Takeaways"

Washington State's Chau Smith-Wade's 83-yard interception return set up the National team's 16-7 victory over the American team in the Senior Bowl, with limited action from top-rated quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr., Bo Nix, and Spencer Rattler. Nix and Rattler played only two series each, while Penix opted not to play. Smith-Wade was named the National's player of the game, and the game's first sellout since 2010 featured players wearing helmets with stickers honoring Mobile native Jimmy Buffett.
