I think it was the year before, he got hurt in the middle of the 04 season and sat out last year and then didnt play a whole lot this season, but yeah he was very highly thought of before those injuries.

Someone will look at him in the late rounds.....its kinda a similar situation to that of the Colts' Ben Utecht, good player, you just gotta be patient and wait till they get completely back and that might take a little time.

[Clockwork Orange]

JaMarcus Russell wasn't invited?

[That One Guy]

Do juniors not go?

[That One Guy]

I could swear Reggie Bush was there last year, he lifted but didn't run. I don't see any Juniors listed though.

[yerner]

I can't wait to see Alonzo Coleman from Hampton run. Supposedly runs superman fast.

How are kids invited, does a NFL team have to put them on list, or is it done at the central office?

How are players selected for the NFL Combine?

Participants are determined annually by a Selection Committee. The Directors of both National and BLESTO scouting services, which combined represent twenty-six NFL teams, are joined by members of various NFL player personnel departments to form the committee. The participating NFL executives can rotate on a yearly basis, and remain anonymous. ALL eligible players are reviewed and voted on by the committee members. Each athlete receiving the necessary number of votes, by position, is then extended an invitation. While it is not a perfect science, the goal of the committee is to invite every player that will be drafted in the ensuing NFL Draft.
