Eric Edholm of NFL.com shared the initial list of prospects who have accepted invitations to play in the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl.
The Shrine Bowl is an all-star game for NFL draft prospects consisting of both seniors and underclassmen, as opposed to the Reese’s Senior Bowl which is for exclusively seniors. It’s scheduled to take place on January 30th
Recent headliners from the Shrine Bowl include Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco, 49ers QB Brock Purdy and Ravens WR Zay Flowers
Shrine Bowl director of football operations and player personnel Eric Galko believes the talent in the game continues to grow every year: “We’ve had an uptick in draft picks every year the past three years, and this year will be another uptick. I don’t have any doubt about that. I’d be shocked if we don’t have more than a year ago.
“I just see the talent we have this year, and I get really excited, especially guys at the top of the draft.”
