34 NFL draft prospects to watch as college bowl season kicks off

As college bowl season kicks off, we’re highlighting some NFL draft prospects to keep an eye on during the first week of action.

College bowl season kicks off Dec. 16 and will continue into the new year right up to the National Championship game on Jan. 9.

Below is a list of players to look for during the first week of bowl games (Friday, Dec. 16 through Friday, Dec. 23) this holiday season.
