The final Saturday of the year 2018 is absolutely jam-pack

ed with some potentially excellent college football action. In fact Mario Edwards Jr Color Rush Jersey , there is just a bit too much action — and too many draft prospects — for one post. So, I’ll be highlighting the first round of the College Football Playoffs in a separate post this afternoon. But for now, let’s take a look at the early games.Peach Bowl - (10) Florida vs. (7) MichiganESPN - noonIf you want the Giants to draft an EDGE rusher, this might be the game to watch. No, I’m not talking about Michigan defensive end Rashan Gary — he is skipping the game. I’m talking about Florida EDGE Jachai Polite.Polite isn’t the most highly rated EDGE prospect in the upcoming draft, but if you are looking for pure, explosive, blistering, greasy-fast speed off the edge, then he might just be your guy. Polite is a slightly undersized rusher (listed at 6’2”, 260 pounds) Nate Solder Color Rush Jersey , and his play strength isn’t where you would want it to be. However, he offers the kind of burst and bend off the edge that we haven’t seen since Osi Umenyiora’s 2010 campaign. He doesn’t yet have the technique to be a completely consistent pass rusher, but this year Polite has 11.5 sacks, 18.0 tackles for a loss, 5 forced fumbles, and 4 passes defensed. Unfortunately, Michigan linebacker Devin Bush Jr. joins Rashan Gary in sitting out the game. Both players could be of interest to a Giants’ defense which needs help at all three levels.Players to watchFloridaJachai Polite (EDGE)Vosean Joseph (LB)Jawaan Taylor (OT) MichiganLavart Hill (CB)Chase Winovich (EDGE)Zach Gentry (TE)Belk Bowl - South Carolina vs. VirginiaABC - NoonIf you want to scout defensive backs for the Giants, the other game to be played at noon might be the one you watch. Virginia boasts a good cornerback - safety duo in CB Bryce Hall and S Juan Thornhill. Both players fit the Giants’ mold of bigger, longer defensive backs and could fill holes on the defense. Hall has been a starter since his freshman season and has plenty of experience in Virginia’s off-man coverage scheme. As a junior, he still has a year of eligibility remaining, and while he has made his decision with regards to 2019 Phil Simms Color Rush Jersey , he won’t announce it until after the game. Thornhill is an active and productive safety who could go a long way toward shoring up the back end of the Giants’ defense. He has a reputation as a smart player and has the experience at corner which the Giants seem to value highly in their free safeties. Unfortunately, top South Carolina receiver Deebo Samuel is sitting the game out, and would have provided an excellent test for Virginia’s secondary — and vice versa. However, that does give Bryan Edwares, SC’s number two receiver, a chance to shine. Edwards needs to show that he has the athleticism to be a true “X” receiver in the NFL, but if he doesn’t, he could still be a good Flanker at the next level.players to watchSouth CarolinaBryan Edwards (WR)Javon Kinlaw (DT)VirginiaBryce Hall (CB)Juan Thornhill (S) Brace yourselves, Bowl Season is coming.(Game of Thrones references are still cool, right?)Anyway, Bowl season gets started this afternoon and will continue into the new year. We will be highlighting important games Harry Carson Color Rush Jersey , or games with prospects that fans of the New York Giants might want to watch. But for now, we’ll just start with a primer for today’s games. None of these have particularly big name schools, but there should be some fun football on today so let’s enjoy it!Cure Bowl CBS Sports - 1:30 p.m. Tulane at Louisiana-Lafayette New Mexico BowlESPN - 2 p.m.Utah State at North TexasLas Vegas Bowl ABC - 3:30 p.mLinebacker E.J. Ejiya has the chance to be the first player drafted out of North Texas in 14 years. At 6’3”, 230 pounds, Ejiya has solid size and stellar production. Over the last two seasons he has had 221 tackles, 35.5 tackles for loss, and 16.0 sacks. He isn’t generating much draft buzz, but with a strong bowl game he could grab attention.Given the Giants’ wealth of late-round picks, he might be a player worth keeping an eye on.Arizona State at (21) Fresno State Of today’s games, this one will probably be the one to watch from a scouting perspective. The most interesting prospect, Arizona State wide receiver N’Keal Harry Lawrence Taylor Color Rush Jersey , has decided to skip the bowl game after declaring for the 2019draft. The 6 foot, 3 inch, 216 pound reciever is considered one of the best in the draft class. He has drawn comparisons to Dez Bryant coming out of college. Defensive tackle Renell Wren could be interesting to watch today. At 6’4”, 295 pounds, he is a powerful and athletic defensive tackle in a mold which was favored by the Giants last year. He has to work on his technique, but he has the tools to be a disruptive player at the next level.Camellia BowlESPN - 5:30 p.m.Georgia Southern at Eastern Michigan New Orleans BowlESPN - 9 p.m.Middle Tennessee at Appalachian StateHave fun and enjoy today’s games everyone! And as usual, feel free to use this post to discuss college football, the draft, or this week’s edition of the Big Blue Big Board podcast. This week Dan and I discuss the potential future of the Giants’ tight end position.
