ON LOCATION: AMERICAN BOWL PRACTICE RECAP — DAY 1
ORLANDO — Our next pit-stop along the scouting trails brings us back to Florida for the first-ever American Bowl, scheduled for January 22nd on NFL Network.
The event has been very well organized, as director Scott Phillips has assembled a highly competitive roster, with help from veteran football executive John Peterson. Nearly every pro football team is in attendance from the NFL and CFL, plus representatives from the UFL. Check-in, weigh-ins and practice all ran smoothly.
Serving as head coaches for the American Bowl this week will be Brian Billick (Warhawks) and Mike Smith (Guardians). Other coaches include Mike Nolan, Ted Cottrell, Kevin Sumlin, Carnell Lake and special teams guru Gary Zauner. The pads were popping on the first day of practice and we have you covered with everything that transpired.
Be sure to keep it locked at All Access Football throughout the week for our exclusive boots on the ground coverage of the inaugural American Bowl.
