BLOOMINGTON — Indiana football will send a program record nine players to this year’s NFL scouting combine.
The league announced a list of 319 prospects who were invited to attend this year’s event on Wednesday, Feb. 11. The combine will take place in Indianapolis from February 23 through March 2.
During an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show ahead of Super Bowl LX, Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza said he doesn’t plan on throwing at the event. The Heisman Trophy winner is widely expected to be this year’s No. 1 overall pick.
