East–West Shrine Game
 < 2005  2007 > 

The 2006 East–West Shrine Game was the 81st staging of the all-star college football exhibition game featuring NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision players. The game featured over 80 players from the 2005 college football season, and prospects for the 2006 draft of the professional National Football League (NFL). In the week prior to the game, scouts from all 32 NFL teams attended. The proceeds from the East–West Shrine Game benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children. For sponsorship purposes, the game was officially the East–West Shrine Game presented by AT&T.

The game was played on January 21, 2006, at 3 p.m. CT at the Alamodome in San Antonio, and was televised by ESPN2.[1][2] Other than the 1942 game, which was played in New Orleans, this was the first time that the Shrine Game was played outside of California.

The offensive MVP was Reggie McNeal (QB, Texas A&M), while the defensive MVP was James Wyche (DE, Syracuse).[3] The Pat Tillman Award was presented to Charlie Peprah (S, Alabama); the award "is presented to a player who best exemplifies character, intelligence, sportsmanship and service".[4]
