The NFL Scouting Combine wraps up today. There were 13 players from Indiana based colleges invited to the combine.
We took a look at all those players last week. A number of players didn’t participate in every drill due to injury. Notre Dame’s Stephon Tuitt is still recovering from a torn meniscus while IU’s Cody Latimer recently had foot surgery. Others didn’t compete in various activities for various reasons.
Most players will complete the combine activities at their pro-days.
