Missouri, Iowa players face pro decisions following Insight Bowl

Finally tonight there is a bowl game with an ample amount of NFL Draft prospects. The Insight Bowl between Missouri and Iowa takes place tonight on ESPN. (SBN preview)

For the Tigers, redshirt sophomore defensive end Aldon Smith has received plenty of questions about going pro after this season. He hasn't faced quite as many as junior quarterback Blaine Gabbert, though. Gabbert might project as a first-round pick if he has a strong game tonight.

Both Smith and Gabbert have refuted reports that they'll go pro. There has also been some discussion that Missouri junior tight end Michael Egnew would also enter the draft.

One underclassman to watch for Iowa is cornerback Shaun Prater. He's submitted paperwork to the draft advisory committee. A Hawkeye to watch for the 2012 draft is offensive tackle Riley Reiff. It's unlikely the redshirt sophomore goes pro, but he has first-round talent.
