Liberty Bowl (Dec. 30, 12 pm ET on ESPN): Georgia vs TCU

Georgia Bulldogs: Nick Chubb, RB

No one knew what to expect from Nick Chubb after returning from a gruesome knee injury that he suffered last year. While Chubb has been able to play, he hasn’t exactly looked like his former self this season.

On the bright side, Chubb’s NFL future is still bright. He’s not the fastest guy, but he has great vision and keeps his feet moving to allow him the shed off would-be tacklers. Playing behind a struggling Georgia offensive line didn’t help his case this season, so Chubb could wind up being a hidden gem in this year’s draft if he can stay healthy.

TCU Horned Frogs: Josh Carraway, EDGE

The TCU Horned Frogs don’t have a lot of NFL prospects, but Josh Carraway has been productive enough this season that he’ll get some attention from scouts. In 12 games this season, Carraway has picked up eight sacks and 47 total tackles.

Carraway is still an extremely raw player, but he’s shown flashes of brilliance throughout the season with plays like this.

Given his long and athletic 6’4”, 250-pound frame, Carraway has some serious upside, but he’s a late-round project rather than a Day 1 starter in the NFL.
