East-West Shrine Game open thread

There are only three NFL games left in the 2018 season, and none of them are happening this Saturday. But the NFL is relevant nearly every single day of the week and Saturday is no exception.

Down in St. Petersburg, Florida, a slew of college talent is readying themselves for one of the most important days of their early football careers. The East-West Shrine Game takes place at Tropicana Field at 3 p.m. ET. There, after a week’s worth of practices in front of scouts from all 32 NFL, the players will finally be able to put their skills to test in a game environment.
