Week 13 of the college football season will dominate the Thanksgiving holiday, with many great rivalry matchups on the schedule.
Chief among them is No. 2 Ohio State versus No. 3 Michigan. NFL scouts will closely watch this game, which will be loaded with pro prospects for the 2017 draft and beyond.
Two prospects who project to be first-round picks in April are defensive backs. Ohio State cornerback Marshon Lattimore and Michigan safety Jabrill Peppers are excellent tacklers, cover well and show great defensive awareness in different defensive schemes. A quality performance Saturday on a huge stage could go a long way in boosting, or plummeting, their draft stock.
