Saturday night in Arizona will be 2020 NFL Draft prospects. Which prospect will turn Saturday night’s Fiesta Bowl into their moment?

The Fiesta Bowl on Saturday night figures to be a game for the ages. So much talent resides on both teams from draft-eligible guys to guys whose time haven’t come yet. There is a reason this was made the primetime game as many 2020 NFL Draft stars are set to showdown.

Clemson comes in undefeated as the three-seed in the playoffs despite starting the season off ranked number 1 in the polls. Dropping to the 3rd seed after winning every game figures to leave a bad taste in their mouth and will add fuel to their fire. An insanely talented roster that is loaded on both sides of the ball, will get its biggest test all season when they line up on Saturday night.

Ohio State comes in as the two-seed but they have probably been the most dominant team in college football this season. The talent they have on their roster has been no secret on both sides of the football. Facing a tougher schedule than Clemson has this season makes them a little more battle tested which will serve them well on Saturday night.

More from With the First Pick

Both teams have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to talent on either side of the ball so we will be seeing a lot of high draft picks. It’s almost unfair to limit it to just five players who you need to watch for because there will be plenty who catch your eye throughout the game. Ohio State’s prospects are the usual suspects but Clemson will have a couple of players who will be ready to announce their name to the rest of the world on the big stage.

Saturday night will be absolute fireworks but until then here are the impact players you need to look out for. There is one Clemson prospect in particular who is under the radar that my attention is most excited for on Saturday night.
