It’s officially college football bowl season, but not everyone plans on participating.
As we’ve seen in recent years, several big-name players opt to sit out their teams’ respective bowl games to get ready for the NFL Draft. And the 2022-23 bowl season is no different.
From the players’ perspective, this makes total sense. They’re choosing to protect themselves rather than risk injury (and possibly millions of dollars) playing in a matchup that is largely meaningless. Plus, getting a jump on prepping for the draft can’t hurt.
So we’re keeping track of the players skipping their bowl games with this running list, which will be updated as more players announce their plans for the future and the 2023 NFL Draft.
