The first of two major predraft college all-star bowl games this week is the East-West Shrine Bowl. The Shrine Bowl is Thursday night at 8 p.m. ET from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX and will air on NFL Network.
There were three days of practice from Sunday to Tuesday at North Texas University in Frisco, where NFL teams had their evaluators watching and media outlets had analysts and reporters.
Who were some standout players from the three days of practice?
NFL.com’s Chad Reuter named 10. These are his 10 standout players from the week.
- Texas Tech RB Tahj Brooks
- Kansas CB Cobee Bryant
- Kansas OL Bruce Cabeldue
- North Carolina DB Alihag Huzzie
- Memphis LB Chandler Martin
- Syracuse QB Kyle McCord
- Maryland DT Jordan Phillips
- Virginia Tech EDGE Antwaun Powell-Ryland
- Tennessee WR Dont’e Thornton
- Lindenwood OL Gareth Warren
CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson named six standout players, including McCord and Bryant. The other four he had different from Reuter are:
- SMU EDGE Elijah Roberts
- Colorado WR Will Sheppard
- Syracuse WR Jackson Meeks
- Middlebury OL Thomas Perry
If you watch the game Thursday night, keep an eye on those players. And with the Arizona Cardinals needing to address most of the positions of these players, perhaps Arizona will call their name in the NFL draft in April.
