The Detroit Lions will be coaching the Senior Bowl next week, a prime scouting opportunity for the team. But before that event, the league's first prospect all-star contest, the East-West Shrine Game, is being held Saturday in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The Shrine Game is chock-full of mid- and late-round prospects. Last year, the Lions brought in a number of participants from the game, including sixth-round draft pick Ty Johnson, as well as quarterback David Blough and cornerback Michael Jackson, who were plucked off other rosters after training camp.
Here are seven players set to compete this year who could interest the Lions.
