Four former Rebels invited to NFL scouting combine

This year’s NFL combine will feature four Ole Miss seniors with Josiah Coatney, Benito Jones, Qaadir Sheppard and Scottie Phillips all receiving invites.

These former Rebels will endure an assortment of drills, workouts, interviews and evaluations to extend their football career to the professional level.

Coatney, a defensive tackle, has put up multiple strong seasons for the Rebels as he enters the combine.

The senior from Douglasville, Georgia accumulated 174 total tackles and 6.5 sacks in three seasons. Coatney is currently training for the combine in Miami, hoping to have a positive showing in front of NFL scouts after a strong performance at the Senior Bowl in January.
