Combine Invitees

Here we have a list of players who have been invited to take part in the combine. We have offensive players listed below with defensive players coming soon. Analysis by editor Blitz Allen Trieu

Offense

QUARTERBACKS

Casey Clausen Tennessee
Jason Fife Oregon
Josh Harris Bowling Green
Robert Kent Jackson State
Craig Krenzel Ohio State
Jared Lorenzen Kentucky
JP Losman Tulane
Eli Manning Mississippi
Luke McCown Louisiana Tech
John Navarre Michigan
Cody Pickett Washington
Philip Rivers North Carolina State
Ell Roberson Kansas State
Rod Rutherford Pittsburgh
Matt Schaub Virginia
Jeff Smoker Michigan State
Brian Symons Texas Tech
Bradlee Van Pelt Colorado State

ANALYSIS: Some interesting names. Certainly the athletic QBs, Robert Kent
and Josh Harris have a lot to prove and a lot to gain. Interesting that
Jason Fife, not even a starter is invited while someone like Ryan
Dinwiddie is not. I also think Bradlee Van Pelt was a curious selection
but he might surprise some people.

FULLBACKS

Troy Fleming Tennessee
Mike Karney Arizona State
Sean McHugh Penn State
Lousaka Polite Pittsburgh
Thomas Tapeh Minnesota
Alex Wade Duke
Travis Wilson Kansas State

ANALYSIS: Not a lot of surprises here. Out of this group, expect Tapeh, a
former tailback to post some pretty good numbers.

RUNNING BACKS

Rich Alexis Washington
Tatum Bell Oklahoma State
Ran Carthon Florida
Cedric Cobbs Arkansas
Adimchinobe Echemandu California
Clarence Farmer Arizona
Julius Jones Notre Dame
Greg Jones Florida State
Derrick Knight Boston College
Mewelde Moore Tulane
Jarrett Payton Miami-Fl
Chris Perry Michigan
Fred Russell Iowa
Michael Turner Northern Illinois
Shaud Williams Alabama
Quincy Wilson West Virginia
Renaldo Works Oklahoma
Jason Wright Northwestern

ANALYSIS: Let's see how this group does, there are a lot of players who
could move up with good 40 times. Namely Greg Jones, Julius Jones and
Chris Perry. Perry ran a 4.55 two years ago and reportedly lowered it to
4.37 this past spring...we'll see about that. Expect Jason Wright and
Mewelde Moore to do well as they are great pass receivers. Renaldo Works
of Oklahoma is an interesting name, but surprising that he and Shaud
Williams got the nod and not Brandon Miree.

TIGHT ENDS

Courtney Anderson San Jose State
Bobby Blizzard North Carolina
Chris Cooley Utah State
Jeff Dugan Maryland
Tim Euhus Oregon State
John Foschi Georgia Tech
Ronnie Ghent Louisville
Ben Hartsock Ohio State
Brett Pierce Stanford
Sean Ryan Boston College
Ben Troupe Florida
Ben Utecht Minnesota
Ben Watson Georgia
Kris Wilson Pittsburgh

ANALYSIS: It will be interesting to see if Ben Watson can live up to his
athletic billing. I also think Courtney Anderson of SJSU is a prospect to
watch. Ben Troupe also has a lot to gain and could push himself into the
1st Round with a strong showing here.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Derek Abney Kentucky
Bernard Berrian Fresno State
Maurice Brown Iowa
Drew Carter Ohio State
Keary Colbert USC
Chris Collins Mississippi
Terrance Cooper East Carolina
Jerricho Cotchery North Carolina State
Josh Davis Marshall
Lee Evans Wisconsin
Carlos Francis Texas Tech
DJ Hackett Colorado
Devery Henderson LSU
Michael Jenkins Ohio State
Justin Jenkins Mississippi State
B.J. Johnson Texas
Tony Johnson Penn State
Kelvin Kight Florida
Triandos Luke Alabama
Maurice Mann Nevada
Derek McCoy Colorado
Jeris McIntyre Auburn
Clarence Moore Northern Arizona
Johnnie Morant Syracuse
James Newson Oregon State
Samie Parker Oregon
Carlos Perez Florida
Jonathan Smith Georgia Tech
Kendrick Starling San Jose State
Jamaar Taylor Texas A&M
Sloan Thomas Texas
Andrae Thurman Southern Oregon
Darius Watts Marshall
Huey Whittaker South Florida
Ernest Wilford Virginia Tech
Roy Williams Texas
George Wilson Arkansas
Rashaun Woods Oklahoma State
Kevin Youngblood Clemson

ANALYSIS: One of my sleeper prospects, and a guy I was just going to
start hyping is Clarence Moore and the league beat be to it. A 6'5,
200-lb athlete, Moore has been attracting the attention of the scouts for
quite some time now. Andrae Thurman gets the nod as well, he performed
well at the Blue-Gray game. Some players that could get themselves on the
radar: Carlos Perez and George Wilson, two solid SEC performers who don't
get the talk when it comes to the draft. It will also be interesting to
see if Drew Carter can come back from injury and post the sub-4.4 times
he's been noted for running.

OFFENSIVE TACKLES

Stacy Andrews Mississippi
Calvin Armstrong Washington State
Jacob Bell Miami-Oh
Sean Bubin Illinois
Vernon Carey Miami-Fl
Marko Cavka Sacramento State
Kirk Chambers Stanford
Robert Gallery Iowa
Antonio Hall Kentucky
Adrian Jones Kansas
Carlos Joseph Miami-Fl
Brad Lekkerkerker Cal-Davis
Dylan McFarland Montana
Jim Molinaro Notre Dame
Shane Olivea Ohio State
Tony Pape Michigan
Josh Parrish Washington State
Brian Rimpf East Carolina
Jacob Rogers USC
Jake Scott Idaho
Max Starks Florida
Drew Strojny Duke
Travelle Wharton South Carolina
Mark Wilson California

ANALYSIS: Stacy Andrews barely saw the field this season but he looked
good when he was out there. He's an outstanding athlete and he might post
some huge numbers in Indianapolis. One player I was disappointed to see
left off was Nate McPeek of Marshall who had a great week at the
Blue-Gray game.

GUARDS

Quinn Christensen BYU
Tyson Clabo Wake Forest
Adrien Clarke Ohio State
Regis Crawford Arizona State
Trey Darilek UTEP
Anthony Herrera Tennessee
Sean Locklear North Carolina State
Stephen Peterman LSU
Alan Reuber Texas A&M
Kurt Sigler Eastern Washington
Shannon Snell Florida
Jeb Terry North Carolina

ANALYSIS: Out of the guards, no one stands out as an early pick but with
good showings, Snell, Clarke and Peterman could move up into the 2nd
Round. Darilek is a sleeper prospect who has generated some buzz of late.

CENTERS

Toby Cecil Texas Tech
Jake Grove Virginia Tech
Rex Hadnot Houston
Nick Hardwick Purdue
Scott Jackson BYU
Nick Leckey Kansas State
Josh Sewell Nebraska
Alex Stepanovich Ohio State
Scott Wells Tennessee

ANALYSIS: Leckey and a few others will work out with other parts of the
line as well but this is a chance for guys like Leckey, Grove and Wells
to show teams it is worth taking a center early this year.

Where is Mark Pierce out of the U of Arkansas ? This guy has some game and some good hands out of the backfield.!! Would be a great sleeper pick. Sorry never mine the Q. I just remembered that Pierce is coming out early.
