Six former Missouri players were invited to the NFL Scouting Combine. That's one for every victory the Tigers had last fall.

The NFL released the full list of 337 players invited to the combine on Friday, and while Mizzou had a few draft candidates conspicuously left off the list, the MU still ranked in the top half of the Southeastern Conference with its six invited players.
