2019 NFL Draft: 338 players invited to NFL Scouting Combine

On Thursday afternoon, the NFL announced a full list of 338 players who have been invited to the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine. Taking place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis each year, the Combine provides a standard set of size and athletic measurements for the incoming rookie class, as well as offering opportunities for private interviews between NFL teams and college prospects.

Two players were not extended invites due to past incidents involving violence against women. Colorado State wide receiver Preston Williams, who led his team with 96 catches and 14 touchdowns, and Mississippi State defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons, who notched 17 TFLs this year, are the exclusions.

A few other players didn’t make the cut. This doesn’t mean they will go undrafted, but it does place extra importance on their pro days and the abilities of their agencies to reach out to NFL squads. Some of the more noteworthy standouts were Georgia State wide receiver Penny Hart, a Senior Bowl standout, and Nebraska running back Devine Ozigboe, who rushed for 1100 yards at seven yards per carry and earned an East West Shrine Game invite.

Building on his pre-draft intrigue, multi-sport star Kyler Murray was invited to the Combine to make his NFL pitch. From Buffalo, quarterback Tyree Jackson and wideout Anthony Johnson were both invited to the event, but linebacker Khalil Hodge didn’t make the cut.

The full list of invited prospects is available at the NFL’s website, and reprinted below. The Combine will take place from February 26th through March 4th.
