Alabama leads NFL Combine invite list

National Signing Day was Wednesday. And now NFL Combine Invite List Day is Thursday.

OK, so we made up the ‘NFL Combine Invite List Day’, but today the NFL really did release breakdown of how many people had been invited to the Combine, which runs from February 19-25 in Indianapolis.

The SEC had 71 players invited, smashing the second-placed ACC with 48. The Pac-12 had 45, Big Ten 36, Big 12 had 25.

Every team in the SEC had at least one player invited. Eight SEC schools had at least eight.

Alabama had 12 players invited, LSU had 11, Florida had 8 and Missouri had 7.

Position-wise, SEC had 28 offensive and defensive linesmen invited to the combine, dwarfing B1G’s number of just 10 – including two defensive linesmen. And to think, this was a poor year defensively for the SEC. Tennessee’s five invites to the Combine includes four offensive linesmen – a little predictable considering the offensive line play was the least of the Volunteers’ problems in 2013.
