NFL Combine invite a 'step forward' for ex-Rutgers linebacker Steve Longa

Steve Longa hasn't had any second thoughts about his decision to leave Rutgers after his junior season for the NFL. But that doesn't mean the linebacker from Saddle Brook didn't enjoy a level of validation after receiving an invitation to the NFL Combine on Tuesday.

"For everybody else that had doubts or anything, hopefully it validates it," Longa said. "It just shows them that this is the right decision I made. But the journey is not over yet. We still have a long way to go. The draft is not until April. A lot of things can happen between now and then.
