LSU running back Derrius Guice wants everyone to know he isn't skipping the Tigers' New Year's Day bowl game against Notre Dame.
After Leonard Fournette skipped last year's bowl game to focus on preparation for the NFL Draft while dealing with ankle injuries and former Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey skipped a bowl game to prep for the draft, some draft experts expected more players to follow suit in 2017.
Several Texas players have announced they won't play in the Longhorns' bowl game and Florida State safety Derwin James, a projected first round pick, said he won't play in the Independence Bowl.
