The NFL has no game this week, as the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots have their bye week before the Super Bowl. But it is a big week for NFL teams preparing for the NFL draft.
The first college all-star game of the draft season is the East-West Shrine Bowl. It is one of the two very important games for draft prospects. The other is the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.

The biggest draft prospects typically go to the Senior Bowl. The Shrine Bowl has more of the later-round picks and priority rookie free agents.
