No Henry Krieger Coble is kind of surprising. NFL Network's Mike Mayock has him among the top 5 TE's in the draft. Also no Jordan Walsh.

Blythe, Koehn, Lomax, & Ott invited to the NFL Combine
- Thread starter Blair Sanderson

Ohio State has 14 players invited. 14!
Alabama has 9. Both Auburn and Clemson have 8. Michigan State and Oklahoma have 7.

I am really surprised to see Walsh and HKC not going also. Obviously it doesn't mean they can't or won't get drafted, they will just have one less opportunity to impress. Going to be big for them to have good pro days.
14 from Ohio State is nuts

Wonder why the appeals taking so long. Probably trying to find an excuse as to why he can't have a 6th year.
Ott still hasn't heard a final decision from the NCAA. He wouldn't be able participate in drills obviously, but would go through the medical tests and interviews that go on at the combine if he doesn't get the extra year of eligibility.

Pretty amazing Iowa went undefeated with only 4 seniors invited with only 1 probably having a chance of making a NFL roster if Ott comes back...
Correlations are often random. Iowa had 6 players drafted after the 2010 cratering. These things wax and wane.
Lomax should make a roster for a couple years if he gets on the right team.
T. Smith should have a decent career in Canada.
google tells me yes. I saw 3 for 2014 and more for preceding years. See below.
