This week begins the NFL Scouting Combine where 300+ athletes will descend on Indianapolis to work out in front of representatives from every NFL team. Last year it didn’t get much bandwidth of attention from your average Husky fan. No Husky players were ultimately drafted although several caught on as UDFAs. That of course was because so many eschewed the draft for a chance to win a national title.
Washington came up just short of that dream going 14-1 and falling to Michigan in the final game of the season. However, that means that the Huskies are sending a ridiculous 13 players to the Combine this season which is 2nd behind only (again) that Michigan team which is sending 18 participants.
