Oregon Football: Three Former Ducks Invited To NFL Combine
Three Former Oregon Football Players have been invited to show off their skills at the NFL Combine ahead of the NFL Draft.
Following their invites to the Senior Bowl, Royce Freeman, Tyrell Crosby, and Tanner Carew will get another look from NFL Scouts and Coaches at the NFL Combine. While Freeman practiced for the Senior Bowl, he did not make an appearance in the game. For him, the NFL Combine will be a better reflection of his skillset along with the Oregon Football Pro Day that will be scheduled.
Tyrell Crosby had a Homecoming of sorts playing in the Las Vegas Bowl. He showed his strength during Practice Week for the Senior Bowl and will also get a chance to impress at the Combine. Even more eye-opening for Crosby is the Stat Sheet. He did not give up a Quarterback Sack in his final two seasons in an Oregon Uniform. Crosby should see his stock rise following the NFL Combine.
Running Back Royce Freeman spent four seasons with Oregon and had thirty 100-yard games in an Oregon Uniform. He sat out the Las Vegas Bowl and did not see the field in the Senior Bowl, but should impress in Indianapolis and could make a significant jump in the NFL Draft. He was the first Running Back in Oregon History to go over 6000 yards among several impressive stats that jump off the page.
Long Snapper Tanner Carew had an important role with Oregon and took it upon himself to help his team in the Senior Bowl by making some tackles downfield. He is the only Long Snapper invited to the NFL Combine. Carew started 52 games for Oregon in a key position on Special Teams.
