We're in the final stretch of 2022 college football bowl games, one last opportunity to see top 2023 NFL draft talent in play. Yes, we've see plenty of players projected to be high picks opt out of their teams' final games and start preparing for pre-draft events. But there will still be no shortage of NFL talent on the field over these remaining bowl games (along with the national title game on Jan. 9).
To get you ready for each day of bowls, we asked NFL draft analysts Jordan Reid and Matt Miller a series of questions about top draft prospects in play. These bowls offer many players one last opportunity to put up good tape for scouts and evaluators before all-star events and the combine, and some will face their toughest tests of the season. Who will stand out, and who can improve their draft stock with a huge day? We also asked draft analyst Steve Muench to pick out an under-the-radar prospect to watch for each day of games, and then closed with early national title predictions from all three of our experts.
Let's close out bowl season with Monday's four-game slate. (Questions from bowl games on Dec. 29-31 are at the bottom.)
