INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA — The NFL Scouting Combine is often a right of passage for the country’s top football players transitioning from the college to pro level. While not everyone earns an invite, those who do receive the chance to put their skills to the test on the national stage, performing activities such as the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, broad jump, bench press and more.
For a slew of former Cincinnati Bearcats, the stakes qualified as high as ever, with multiple UC players — Desmond Ridder, Alec Pierce, Myjai Sanders, Darrian Beavers, Coby Bryant and Ahmad Gardner — earning a chance to make their mark just 110 miles away from Clifton.
