After a week of high-profile upsets, week 12 of the college football season brings an opportunity for several conference championship berths to be clinched. For those teams in contention, look for their 2017 NFL Draft prospects to step up this weekend.

There are only two weeks remaining until conference championship weekend, which means some prospects will only have two more opportunities to improve their film score. With Senior Bowl and Shrine Game invitations being sent out, many seniors will have something extra to play for. While many invitations have already been sent and accepted, there’s still room on the rosters for a senior or two who has breakout performances in the final weeks of the season.

For the following eight prospects eligible for the 2017 NFL Draft, this week’s contest will bring them extra attention for one reason or another. Whether it’s a tough one-on-one matchup or returning from injury, these players will be watched closely by NFL scouts. A solid outing in week 12 could significantly boost their 2017 NFL Draft stock.
