Gophers Carter Coughlin, Kamal Martin prepared for NFL draft
Carter Coughlin was all smiles after the Gophers beat Auburn in the Outback Bowl on New Year’s Day.INDIANAPOLIS – Carter Coughlin and Kamal Martin are together again, this time as roommates at the NFL scouting combine.
The former Gophers linebackers, and childhood friends, are trying to prove to teams they're worth picks in April's draft.
General managers know they're a package deal, right?
"That could be the plan," Martin said Thursday. "No, but we joke about it all the time because we've been roommates since June 2016 and it hasn't stopped. We both signed with the same agent. We both room together where we're training and rooming here. It's a funny and crazy story."
