I understand why all these players sit out bowl games every year.

I get it and I really do understand. It makes no sense to me though unless a player is a top 10 or 15 pick in the draft. It makes no sense to me how a player can get a late first round grade or out of the first round altogether and then sit out a bowl game and not use every opportunity they have to try and move up some teams Draft board. You do not have just one chance on draft day to move up the draft board you have what 32 or 34 chances to move up because you can impress every team in the NFL. Players move up draft boards by playing football games not by winning the Draft Combine.
