Five Mountaineers were invited to the NFL Combine, a place where a player’s draft stock can soar into the first round or plummet to Day 3 of the draft (the NFL Draft is only a three day event). Representing WVU at the combine will be Rasul Douglas, Shelton Gibson, Noble Nwachukwu, Tyler Orlosky and Rushel Shell. West Virginia’s five players were the most invited from a Big 12 school.
Rasul Douglas will be missed by West Virginia fans, but we’ll get the privilege of watching him on Sundays for a long time. NFL teams search for a certain body type when trying to find a No.
