Under Armour, Inc. (NASDAQ: UARM) announced today a multi-year
title sponsorship of the Senior Bowl, the nation�s most unique
football game and football�s premier pre-draft collegiate event.
Coming on the heels of Under Armour�s designation as an authorized
supplier of footwear to the NFL, this partnership with the
country�s top college-level talent is the next step in the
company�s commitment to on-field authenticity. The Senior Bowl
annually features 100 of the best senior collegiate football
players and top NFL draft prospects on teams representing the North
and South. Coaching staffs from two NFL teams oversee each squad,
and the game and its practices will be televised by the NFL
Network. Over 560 former Senior Bowl players are currently active
in the NFL, and the 2006 NFL Pro Bowl rosters featured 26 former
Senior Bowl players. Over the past six years, the Senior Bowl has
featured an average of 11 NFL first-round draft choices each year
with 95 percent of players in the game making active NFL rosters.
The 2007 game will be played on January 27 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium
in Mobile, Alabama. "The Senior Bowl is the pinnacle of collegiate
on-field authenticity and we�re proud to be on the field with the
future stars of the NFL," said Under Armour Chairman and CEO Kevin
Plank. "This partnership strengthens Under Armour�s mission to
deliver the very best performance products to all levels of
athletes, from head to toe." Under Armour brings its expertise in
performance apparel and rich history on the gridiron to the Senior
Bowl athletes in what is essentially the first game of these
players� potential NFL careers. With access to the most
technologically advanced apparel on the market, participants will

game that are the key tools used by NFL coaches, scouts and
training staffs to judge the best talent in the country as they
prepare for the draft. �We�re very pleased that Under Armour is now
the title sponsor of the Senior Bowl game,� said Senior Bowl

campaign include 2006 first-round draft picks A.J. Hawk (Green Bay
