The East-West Shrine Game has come and gone, and it's now Senior Bowl week. The NFL Scouting Combine and pro days will come soon after. Each step is a clue to unlocking the NFL Draft. Teams meet with prospects, see them work through NFL drills and get true measurements of athletic ability.
In the days and weeks to come we can all get into specific scouting reports and film study, but let's introduce you to some names you could be hearing a lot during the next few months. Just remember, not everyone is at the Senior Bowl, which will take place in Mobile, Ala., Jan. 26.
The quarterbacks: Three or four quarterbacks should be drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft: Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray (Oklahoma), Heisman finalist Dwayne Haskins Jr. (Ohio State), Daniel Jones (Duke) and Drew Lock (Missouri). Just Jones and Lock are at the Senior Bowl. So far the buzz has been solid for Lock but not so much for Jones, who had a rough day Jan. 23.
