2014 NFL Draft – Players to Watch – Bowl Games – Week of 12/28/13

 New Era Pinstripe Bowl:  Rutgers vs. Notre Dame – 12/28/13 – 12:00 pm – ESPN.

Players to Watch

1.  Stephon Tuitt, DE – Notre Dame – (6-6, 312) Projected Round – 1st  Tuitt more than likely will be gone by the middle of the first round.  But you never know, if the Redskins could trade up into the first round they may have a shot at him.  He’s a big athletic 3-4 defensive end, that would be an immediate starter for the Redskins.      Jersey # 7

2.  Luis Nix, NT – Notre Dame – (6-2, 345) Projected Round – 1st  It’s very possible that some of these players like Nix who are projected as first round picks could fall to the Redskins in the second round.  If the Redskins stay in a 3-4 defense they could use a nose tackle with the size and strength of Nix.  Jersey # 1
