At the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, Missouri made history — a good kind of history.
The Tigers had eight players invited to the Combine, the most the program has ever had since the inaugural event in 1982. Missouri tied with LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State and USC for the sixth-most invitees this season.
At each of their respective media sessions, several Tigers explained how all of them being at the Combine together represented the immense progress the program has made over the past few seasons. Especially considering that most of them had been in Columbia since 2020, their success showed that Missouri could grow and develop NFL talent, which is becoming harder to do with the increasing amount of transfers in college football nowadays.
