MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - The Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears will coach the Senior Bowl teams, getting a close up look at some of the top prospects available in the NFL draft.

The Browns are led by their first-year head coach Hue Jackson and have the No. 1 overall pick in the draft after finishing 1-15. They will guide the South team.

John Fox, in his second season with the Bears, will lead the North. The Bears finished 3-13 and will select third overall in April's draft. The 49ers own the second pick, but they have fired coach Chip Kelly.
