Postseason all-star games like the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Bowl have become pivotal for NFL talent evaluation. But they’re especially important for players from smaller schools, including those from the Group of Six.
G6 players use these opportunities to prove they can compete against competition from the bigger-name programs. If they stand out during practices leading up to these games, that proves their production in a G6 conference wasn’t a fluke.
And because of that, they often rise up draft boards.
