Eight former Miami players set to participate in NFL Combine

When people think of a job interview, they imagine a small room, answering questions in a suit, hoping for the keys to a major new career step. For a handful of former University of Miami student-athletes, the path to impressing organizations at the next level starts with the NFL Combine.

Eight former UM football players will participate in the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this week, hoping to make positive impressions on professional teams with the goal of making it to the NFL.

Running back DeeJay Dallas, wide receivers Jeff Thomas and K.J. Osborn, defensive linemen Jonathan Garvin and Trevon Hill, cornerback Trajan Bandy, and linebackers Shaquille Quarterman and Michael Pinkney were all invited to participate in the event, which is scheduled from this Thursday until Sunday.
