As I figured, today was indeed walk-through time with no pads. So being quite content that I did not drive a 160 mile round trip for that, I am using my 3 days of true practice to present to you my All-Practice squad.

I am not going to list honorable mentions or add an extra player here or there. These young men all have good skills and energy or they would not be in a Star Game venue. I would also advise that we are likely to see some other guys really step up in the actual game, and some from this list just seem to disappear. If time permits, and I see some different players really step up, I may post an All-Game team.
Remember the game is this Saturday, the 18th, at 3PM Eastern Time on NFLNetwork. I have seen Daniel Jeremiah and Charles Davis at practices, so I assume they will join Andrew Siciliano for the broadcast. And most of all, if you can please support the Shrine Children’s Hospitals, they will certainly be accepting donations at their website, shrinehospitalsforchildren.org/shc.
Cheers
