David Cobb is one of four graduating Gophers seniors who'll be in action this month in collegiate all-star games. Cobb has accepted an invite to play in the Senior Bowl on Jan. 24 in Mobile, Ala.

He'll be joined there by Nebraska's Ameer Abdullah, Michigan State's Jeremy Langford and Auburn's Cameron Artis-Payne, among other top running backs.

The Gophers also will have three recent grads in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl -- Cameron Botticelli, Cedric Thompson and Damien Wilson. That game is Jan. 17 in Carson, Calif., and the head coaches are Mike Holmgren and Mike Martz.

The Senior Bowl will be on NFL Network. The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl will be on ESPN2.
