Time to flash back less than two full weeks and revisit the SHRINE All-Star venue for a bit. I am venturing back to rank all of the participating players as I did for the Senior Bowl earlier this week. The delay is primarily because we had the Shrine Game two Saturdays ago, then I spent Sunday watching NFL Championship games, then got up Mnnday morning for the 500 mile drive to Mobile and the task of learning over 100 player names and numbers for that week. The rankings are based on their cumulative value coming into St. Pete, how they looked in practice and then of course in game action. If a player got hurt or left early that dropped them down in my rankings on this list.
