Coaches keep UM players engaged with 'NFL combine' Oct. 24 at Michigan Stadium

Michigan football players continue to go through voluntary practices despite the Big Ten canceling the fall season, but there’s a twist.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is keeping his players engaged by having them train for what essentially will be an NFL combine. It's scheduled to be held in Michigan Stadium on Oct. 24, the day Michigan was to have played Ohio State in the restructured 10-game Big Ten schedule that was scrapped last week.

The players will practice combine-specific drills these next nine weeks, four days a week, to prepare for the event that expects to draw NFL scouts and the players’ families.
