See Jaylon Smith, Jake Butt.

It’s not really about career ending injuries or just top draft picks. If you are a mid to late rd projected pick, you can really boost your draft stock if you crush the combine compared to just playing and getting two tackles in the Loaded Potato Bowl. So if you get a non career ending injury but won’t be 100% in the combine, you’re screwed. One game won’t make a difference, but a huge combine does.

the exception that proves the rule.

How many players over the past 10 years have played in bowl games? Let's say 40 players get on the field for each team. 40-ish bowls, so that's 80 teams = 3200 players.

Each year.

So over the past decade, there have been 32,000 players that play in bowl games, and 2 (that you mention, perhaps there are more, but very, very, very few) have had career-impacting injuries.

The players are at more risk of being seriously injured in the bus ride to the stadium.
