Mods can move to Draft Forum, just notifying board of potential Jets prospects playing live football. It's sadly come to that  . . . .

BYU and Wyoming will meet in the 2017 Poinsettia Bowl Wednesday evening. Are there any 2017 NFL Draft prospects taking the field?

Here are a few to keep an eye on, and some details on the game. 

WHO? BYU (8-4) vs. Wyoming (8-4)
WHERE? Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego
WHEN? 9 p.m.
WATCH? ESPN

PLAYERS TO WATCH: 
Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming:  Hill, a junior, has quickly established himself as one of the better runners in college football. At 6-1 and 219 pounds, he's physical, but also shifty for his size. This year, he ran for 1,767 yards and 21 touchdowns. He's not much of a receiver, though. In his 36 career games, he has just 40 receptions. 

Jacob Hollister, TE, Wyoming: At 6-4 and 239 pounds, Hollister certainly has the prototypical size for a tight end. His production matches. This year, Hollister caught 30 passes for 500 yards and seven touchdowns. He's tremendous in the red zone, which could entice more than a handful of teams to put him on their draft board.  

Taysom Hill, QB, BYU: Everyone loves to find the unknown quarterback, and Hill certainly has some redeeming athletic qualities. The production isn't really there, though. He completed 59.4 percent of his passes and threw for 2,323 yards with 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions this season. At 6-2 and 230 pounds, he has the things you can't coach. Maybe a coach wants to put in the work to fix the things you can?

Kai Nacua, S, BYU: Nacua is quite the ball hawk. Actually, that may be underselling it a bit. The safety has 11 interceptions in his last two years. He has nice size (6-2, 215 pounds), too.
