For a program that ranked seventh across all of college football in 2018 with 32 alumni in the NFL, including four players selected in the first three rounds last year, USC football’s representation in the 2019 NFL Combine was admittedly sparse.
A tumultuous season defined by undisciplined and unsteady performances will do that. It’s no secret that teams that win create more opportunities for their players to move on to the next level in any sport, so the small number of Trojans invited to the combine was a shock to no one.
Yet, the five players that attended the combine from USC largely held their ground or improved their stock in front of executives, scouts, coaches, and the NFL Network and confirmed there is still talent coming out of Troy.
