College Gridiron Showcase release their 2020 Watchlist
The 2020 College Gridiron Showcase & Symposium will take place January 3-5, 2020 and is the FIRST all-star event of the 2018 college football post-season. The showcase and symposium provide exposure and education for top college senior football players from around the country. The players are selected by a panel of football experts.
Today, the CGS who recently teamed up with us at Draft Diamonds released their initial 2020 Watchlist and there are over 1,100 players making the initial list.
Players from every division made the list and it will not be long before invites to this event are being sent out. You may be wanting more information regarding the event, and we wanted to share with you what the event is and how it works.
Players will come in for 5 days and 4 nights to be evaluated by professional football league scouts. The players will receive professional coaching, mentoring, life coaching and seminars that will benefit them as they move forward in their professional lives in or out of football.
The CGS is the first all-star event to implement an OTA style format for football professionals. The format showcases the player through practices and a controlled scrimmage to scouts and executives from top professional leagues such as the NFL and CFL.
The players also attend meetings, practice, perform individual drills, 1 on 1’s, team drills and in many cases have personal interviews with the scouts and executives from these professional clubs.
The event also contains a strong professional football education symposium component. Athletes attending our event are provided education through seminars relating to Financial Education, Life as a Professional Athlete, Player Expectations (on and off-field), first-hand accounts from former NFL rookies, social media responsibilities, and more.
We are excited to team up with the CGS and want you to make sure you are following them in the near future.
