2011 NFL Draft Prospect Guide to Bowl Games

The 2010-2011 NCAA College Bowl Season is upon us.  We get pumped this time of year because this is the last time for these kids to use a real game to show scouts what they got before they enter the machine that is the NFL Draft process.

We decided to sift through and pull some names out that NFL Draft fans can look for in the games to scout themselves as they nod and try to show interest in what relatives are saying during the holidays.

So, as a couch scout, what games are you going to watch?

We count five that are not even really worth the time unless you want to watch for some deep sleepers. Not that there is anything wrong with that. We will point out some sleepers for the last couple rounds later on.

In the "Prospect Guide" we stuck to those players that we are pretty sure will be drafted. We know the big names, some of the fun is getting a feel for those mid-rounders.

Here are some to wet your whistle…
