With Super Bowl 56 this Sunday, the 2021 NFL season is close to reaching its conclusion. And for every team besides the two playing in Sunday’s season finale, preparation for the 2022 NFL draft has long been underway.
On Wednesday, the NFL announced its list of 324 invitees for the annual scouting combine, which will once against be held in Indianapolis. Amongst the players invited, there are several prospects from Michigan schools, as well as some with state or city ties.
Michigan
- Hassan Haskins, RB
- Andrew Stueber, OT/G
- Chris Hinton, DT
- Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE
- David Ojabo, EDGE
- Josh Ross, LB
- Vincent Gray, CB
- Daxton Hill, S/NB hybrid
- Kenny Walker III, RB
- Jalen Nailor, WR
- Conor Heyward, FB/H-B (listed with TE group)
Central Michigan
- Bernhard Raimann, OT
- Luke Goedeke, OL (RT/IOL)
Western Michigan
- Kaleb Eleby, QB
- Skyy Moore, WR
Others with state/city ties
- Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati (Detroit King)
- Marquan McCall, NT, Kentucky (Oak Park)
- Eyioma Uwazurike, DL, Iowa State (Southfield-Lathrup)
There is quite a bit of talent on that list, including Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson, who should be one of the handful of players in consideration for the Detroit Lions at number two overall, and has been mocked to them quite a bit recently.
