Day 1 of the Senior Bowl began with the weigh-ins, which are highly awkward, and must be embarrassing for many of the prospects. A large stage is set up, and 100+ prospects walk up one at a time, dressed only in boxer briefs to be measured for height and weight. Their bodies are also scrutinized by scouts and draftniks, with comments like "bubble butt" (that's actually considered a good thing), "flabby," etc. One prospect last year was nicknamed "third trimester" by one of the writers, because he had a rather large belly.
