2025 NFL Draft: Top Players to Know at Shrine Game & Senior Bowl

Our bags are packed for Dallas and Mobile. Here are the top players to watch with rosters finalized

Recently we gave you a list of all the players who will be at the East-West Shrine Game and the Reese’s Senior Bowl. Now we’ve distilled those lists down to the best of the best.

Today we’re diving deep into the best players to watch at each bowl game. All eyes in Frisco, Texas will be on Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, but he’s not the only likely first-rounder participating.

And as we work our way east to the Senior Bowl…it’s maybe the best roster we’ve ever seen from Jim Nagy’s crew. We’re excited for the free peanut butter cups, but also for all the football to watch.

Let’s jump in. Up first, the Shrine Game watch list with top players and our favorirte sleepers, followed by the Senior Bowl.

East-West Shrine Game - Top Players

Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado (Rank No. 14 overall)

It’ll be the first time since high school that Sanders will be coached by someone other than his dad. That alone is fascinating. But he’ll also be working with the Tennessee Titans’ quarterbacks coach. And they have the first overall pick in the draft. It’s noteworthy that Miami quarterback Cam Ward—Sanders’ competition for QB1—is not competing at either the Shrine or Senior games. This is a big opportunity for Sanders to own the moment.

Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina (No. 37 overall)

Revel, who tore his ACL on September 20, will only be participating in interviews with teams.

Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan (No. 40 overall)

A massive defensive tackle prospect, Grant should man-handle the collective talent among the interior offensive linemen selected to attend the Shrine Game. He’s a nose tackle or 1-technique prospect without a big pass-rush profile, but he’s great at plugging lanes and pushing piles.

Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss (No. 55 overall)

Harris is still rehabbing an injury and won’t participate in practices.
