The 2015 NFL Combine in Indianapolis starts February 17th and goes through the 23rd. This year four former Mizzou football players - Markus Golden, Shane Ray, Mitch Morse, Marcus Murphy - are headed to showcase their skills in Indy. Five, if you're including Dorial Green-Beckham who transferred to Oklahoma, but never played a game.
Before the NFL takes them under its wing, here are a few stories from the archives about their backgrounds and time at Mizzou.
