Five Alabama standouts to watch at NFL Combine

Media personnel for the National Football League will be all over Lucas Oil Stadium next week for this year’s NFL Scouting Combine. While 336 participants make up the event, the goal in mind is to impress scouts, general managers, owners and head coaches in terms of trying to secure a favorable draft status.

For the University of Alabama, it leads all schools in the Southeastern Conference and Division I with 14 players heading to Indianapolis, Ind.

Guys like Minkah Fitzpatrick, Calvin Ridley, Da’Ron Payne and Rashaan Evans are thought about as high draft values. Fitzpatrick is regarded by most analysts as a top-five pick, while Ridley, Payne, Evans and Ronnie Harrison have been viewed as first to second round names.
