2017 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl Big Board.

The 2017 NFLPA Collegiate Bowl is upon us, this Saturday, January 21st at 4:15 PM Eastern Standard Time.. Unlike the Senior Bowl and Shrine Game, which have a long tradition, the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl is a much younger event, founded in 2012.  Some players, including Jhurell Pressley, Trevone Boykin, Marquette King, Chris Conley, Geremy Davis, and Zach Wagenmann have used this game as a stepping stone into the NFL. This year, there are some great names to watch in this event; one that stands out to me is Tarik Cohen, the underrated and relatively unknown running back from North Carolina A&T.  He's a great sleeper in a deep class of great running backs, and could use this game to vault himself into the national spotlight. If you haven't seen him play, you need to watch this game. Brady Gustafson shows some sleeper potential at quarterback.   All of these players will be exciting to watch, and some will make it into the NFL.  While this game does not yet have the hype that the Senior Bowl and Shrine Game do, there is absolutely talent to be found in this event. I highly recommend following both this game and the Shrine Game tomorrow if you can; watch one on your computer and one on TV even.  If you aren't familiar with the NFLPA Bowl yet, this year is the perfect year to check it out. Here's a full list of the players participating in tomorrow's game.--Mike B.
