LAS VEGAS — The East-West Shrine Bowl is a unique experience for the coaches who participate. It’s one of the two college all-star games, along with the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, that attracts players who have a substantial chance to be selected in the NFL Draft later that spring.
The NFL started supplying the coaching staffs for the game in 2017, allowing teams that didn't make the playoffs to nominate coaches for it. But this year marks the first time just two teams will provide their full staffs.
Those teams are the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots.
