UNC football: North Carolina sending seven players to NFL Combine

The 2017 NFL Draft might still be a few months away, but the NFL Scouting Combine will be here before you know it. The Combine is a week-long showcase that takes place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana and will take place this year from February 28 through March 8.

The event allows scouts the opportunity to evaluate talent for the upcoming draft. Players must be invited, and they will undergo a series of tests, drills, and evaluations. They will perform a 40-yard dash, 20-yard shuttle, broad jump, vertical jump, and bench press, to name a few.
