The 2022 FCS class of pro prospects was strong with 24 draft picks and 140+ more that signed undrafted free agent contracts or received rookie minicamp tryout invites.
Most FCS guys don’t rise in the draft process until after all-star games or pro days. But we’re already getting an early glimpse of who is on 2023 radars. The East-West Shrine Bowl is one of the main all-star games for NFL prospects, and it recently came out with its East-West Shrine Bowl 1000.
“Our aim is for this Shrine Bowl 1000 to serve as a look into our scouting process, as well as begin to preview college players who are currently all-star game eligible for the 2023 East-West Shrine Bowl and 2023 NFL Draft class,” it stated. “This list was extremely difficult for our team to put together, scouring players from all four levels of football and speaking with NFL and college personnel to ensure we put together the best 1000 players for the NFL level.”
