The NFL released its official list of 330 players it has invited to the league’s annual national scouting combine in Indianapolis that begins Feb. 28.
That is 74 more invitees than there are selections in April’s draft, by the way.
As my News Tribune colleague and Washington Huskies beat writer Christian Caple noted, UW has seven players invited to this year’s combine:

Washington’s universities have 11 players invited to the combine, as draft guru Rob Rang from CBS Sports and Tacoma pointed out:
