Todays blog will give you each roster for the East-West Shrine complete with my post season awards, and PS#'s.
The East-West Shrine game is the oldest annual post season all star game and has been played every year since 1925. Although the East won last years game 25-8 the West is still winning the series 45-35-5. The game features many future pros as 90% of last years participants were either drafted or signed on as a free agent in the NFL.
Even though the game is an American football competition, players playing Canadian university football have been invited every year since 1985. The Shrine game is the only game on either the Canadian or American college football schedules in which players from both sides of the border compete with or against each other.
Most importantly the game is played to raise funds for the 22 Shriners Hospitals around the country.
Make sure you check back on Sunday to get my forecasts for the NFL Conference Championship games.
