the odds. Even using google, it is hard to find an example of someone hurting draft stock because of a bowl game injury. The number of bowl games means that close to a thousand football players probably see the field in a bowl game every year. You add those numbers up throughout the years, and the risk seems pretty minimal. When the 12 team playoff starts, we are talking about 2 or 3 extra games for some teams each year. The risk of injury is higher there.
Here is a discussion on it, and they have trouble really finding anyone.
