MOBILE, Ala. — Florida will be represented in the Jan. 27 Senior Bowl by quarterback Chris Leak, wide receiver Dallas Baker, linebacker Earl Everett and defensive end Ray McDonald, who each played a role in the Gators' championship season.

Bowl President Steve Hale said Saturday Leak's performance during the year in leading his team to the national championship also enabled him to play his way into the all-star game that brings pro scouts to Mobile's Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

Leak closed out his Florida career in dramatic fashion, leading the Gators to a 41-14 victory over Ohio State in the BCS Championship Game for the school's second-ever national title.

Leak completed 25 of 36 passes for 213 yards and one touchdown in the contest.

Leak is the sixth quarterback to be announced for the Senior Bowl, joining an impressive group that includes Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith of Ohio State, Brady Quinn of Notre Dame, Kevin Kolb of Houston, Drew Stanton of Michigan State and Tyler Palko of Pitt.

I hate to say this but even a stellar performance in the Senior Bowl won't likely help Leak's NFL prospects. He is a border line NFL player, at least thats what all the reports and scouts I've heard say.

If he does play awesome, he might land himself on a team and be a clipboard holder.

It's shame that so many of our great college QBs cant make it in the NFL

It's a great opportunity for Leak, and the other players. Every NFL scout is watching those games. If Leak wants to make an NFL roster, he will need to perform at a top level.
