The West team defeated the East team, 21-17, in the 101st East-West Shrine Bowl on Tuesday night.
After a week of practices leading up to the clash at The Star in Frisco, Texas, there were eight 2026 NFL Draft prospects that stood out to me the most with their play in the game.
Without further ado, each of the eight players listed below -- along with 20 more prospects worthy of an honorable mention -- added to their résumé on Tuesday with
the evaluation process set to play out over the next three months until the draft begins on April 23 in Pittsburgh.
Mark Gronowski, QB, Iowa
The game's best quarterback looked the part on Tuesday night, earned Offensive MVP honors. He showed strength in the pocket early on, shaking off defenders to run for a first down. The former Iowa and South Dakota State quarterback threw the ball well in
a quarter-plus of action, connecting while moving to his left and right as well as timing up a deep dig route. He even threw the key block on his team's first touchdown, sealing the edge for Dean Connors.
