East-West Shrine Game 2015: Rosters, Top Prospects for College All-Star Game
With the college football season officially over, NFL draft prospects will do whatever they can to get noticed by scouts. One good starting point is the East-West Shrine Game.
Although this showcase is not as prestigious as the Senior Bowl and therefore doesn't have the same level of talent, there will still be plenty of eyes on the players in this one. It instead becomes a great opportunity for some of the lesser-known guys to burst onto the scene and move up draft boards.
After Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo used an MVP performance at the 2014 East-West Shrine Game to become a second-round draft pick, many will want to replicate this path.
Here is a look at the full rosters for the two teams competing in this game along with a breakdown of some names to watch.

Blake Bell, TE, Oklahoma

Some fans might want to watch Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner line up at receiver, but the converted quarterback who has really generated buzz is Oklahoma's Blake Bell.
The tight end only caught 16 passes this season, with four of them being touchdowns. However, this is much better considering he is brand new to the position after throwing 12 touchdown passes a year ago.
Despite his lack of polish, scouts like what they have seen in practices, according to Gil Brandt of NFL.com:
Bell has shown a lot of athleticism throughout his career, and at 6'6", 260 pounds, he already has the size necessary to be a great red-zone target. If he can learn how to be a better blocker and develop his route running, he has the upside to be a star at the next level.
This week of practice has already gone well for him, but he has to show he can actually be productive in a game before teams will take a chance on him.
Taylor Heinicke, QB, Old Dominion

This year's quarterback class is so weak, a player who has made three career starts is being considered one of the top prospects. This means there is a good chance for a small-school player to work his way up draft boards.
Taylor Heinicke had an extremely productive career at Old Dominion, totaling 14,949 passing yards and 132 touchdowns in four years with Monarchs. While this doesn't always lead to success at the next level, it could for this one.
According to Dane Brugler of CBS Sports, Heinicke has showcased the necessary skills this week to separate himself from others at the position:
"In two practices this week, Heinicke has showed excellent timing and rhythm with his footwork and release, displaying proper ball velocity and spin off his hand. The biggest obstacle for quarterbacks in all-star settings is trying to develop chemistry with a brand new batch of targets, but Heinicke's peripheral vision allowed him to see the entire field and understand where open zones would be during 7-on-7 drills.
"
He might not be as good as Garoppolo was last year, but there are still teams desperate for quarterbacks in the NFL and very few options in the 2015 class. Heinicke might prove he is worth the risk with a strong performance for the rest of the week.
Ben Heeney, LB, Kansas

One of the big problems with the pre-draft season is when NFL personnel looks too hard at measurements and forgets about players who can simply play football. Ben Heeney falls into that group despite being a bit undersized.
At 6'1", many will think the Kansas linebacker will not be able to handle the rigors of the NFL. He also lacks the top-end speed of some of the best at his position.
Still, Heeney has great instincts, which were on display throughout his career at Kansas as a leader of the defense. Assistant coach Dave Campo might have had the best description for the senior, via Jesse Newell of The Topeka Capital-Journal:
"He thinks he's going to make 20 tackles every week, and that's how he plays the game. To me, you always knew no matter what the situation, when he walked on the field, he was going to be a guy that stood out because he just had that competitive edge of being able to go get the football.
"
After seeing Wisconsin's Chris Borland have success with the San Francisco 49ers as a rookie, teams should certainly take a chance on an outstanding linebacker like Heeney.
John Miller, OG, Louisville

One player at this game who seems like the safest bet to be selected in the draft is Louisville guard John Miller. The senior has been a constant on the Cardinals offensive line throughout his career and is certain to take his skills to the next level.
Josh Norris of Rotoworld was impressed watching the player compete in practice:
Miller doesn't have the athleticism of an elite guard, but he is a very powerful blocker who knows how to clear space on runs and protect his quarterback. At 6'3", 315 pounds, he is also big enough to make an impact right away.
As long as he continues to show what he can do while avoiding injury, Miller should be a clear Day 2 or Day 3 pick this spring.
