Why the East-West Shrine and NFLPA Collegiate all-star games matter for Lions

While much of the attention on college all-star games will be next week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn has used the two games that will take place this week -- the East-West Shrine Game and the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl -- to help put together his draft classes over the past two years.

Of the Lions' 19 draft picks over Quinn’s first two years as GM, six played in the Shrine Game and another, receiver Kenny Golladay, was selected for the game but did not play due to injury.
