Utah football: Four Utes invited to 2017 NFL Combine

It’s an exclusive club: Only 335 attendees can go every year to be picked at, prodded and completely dissected by NFL scouts and personnel decision makers in Indianapolis. Six Utes were invited last year, and the number could go up — depending in part on late invites (Hunter Dimick, anyone?) and in part on NFL Draft decisions by juniors Garett Bolles and Marcus Williams.

This year’s draft will feature some phenomenal running backs including Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey and Leonard Fournette, but Williams hopes to stand out among his peers with his speed — his 40-yard dash was clocked at 4.
