It has very little to do with the playbook...At the East West Shrine and Senior Bowls NFL teams get to run them through what is essentially a training camp practice. They get to see WRs against top corners, OL vs DL etc.

As for the playbook you get to see how quickly a player takes what they are learning in the class room and transfer it to the field which is very important because of the CBA and how long NFL teams are allowed to practice.

The East West Shrine and Senior Bowl are probably the two most important events during the draft season.
