CARSON, Calif. — Former Utah quarterback Travis Wilson and former Southern Utah signal caller Ammon Olsen were among the players who practiced during open observations at the NFL Players Association Collegiate Bowl on Wednesday at StubHub Center.
Wilson saw a lot of reps, including a 40-yard touchdown pass that you can see in the video above. The four-year starter for the Utes is projected as a possible late-round pick, though he could be looking at a free agency signing in April's NFL Draft.
Olsen went through a full set of 11-on-11 drills, showcasing his arm and his ability to read defenses. The former BYU transfer led the Thunderbirds to their first-ever Big Sky Championship this past year, which included their second berth in the FCS playoffs in three years.
The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, which kicks off Saturday at 4 p.m. MST on ESPNU, includes a consortium of players coached by NFL legends Mike Holmgren and Mike Martz.
The game, which was founded in 2012, offers prospective NFL players a chance to improve their draft stock and showcase their talents to scouts and coaches, in addition to interviewing players and reviewing game film.
