With Super Bowl LX in the rearview, we’re now roughly 7 months away from our next competitive snap of football at the FBS and NFL levels.
However, we’ve still got some action to hold us over coming later this month, when the NFL Scouting Combine gets underway at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium. On Wednesday, the NFL announced who had been invited to the Combine.
The league sent out a whopping 319 invites, giving obvious first-round selections, soon-to-be undrafted free agents, and everyone in between an opportunity to strut their stuff in front of decision-makers from every NFL franchise. Four SEC quarterbacks, including a former Heisman Trophy favorite from the Bayou, will be headed to Indianapolis later this month:
- Taylen Green, Arkansas
- Ty Simpson, Alabama
- Garrett Nussmeier, LSU
- Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt
Former Georgia passer Carson Beck also received an invitation.
Each SEC quarterback, particularly Nussmeier, has a lot to gain from this Combine. He was once seen as the potential No. 1 pick of this NFL Draft, but his poor final year with the Tigers sent him spiraling down draft boards. If he can demonstrate the arm talent that had him so highly regarded entering the season, and explain what went wrong for him in 2025, he may be able to salvage some of his former stock. The NFL Combine runs from Feb. 23 through March 2.
