(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - The NFL combine gets underway this morning at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
The first of the 332 players invited to participate will begin today as they try to impress representatives from all 32 NFL teams and build up their value before the draft on the weekend of April 25th.
Participants will go through a battery of medical and psychological tests with a majority going through physical testing on the Lucas Oil Stadium turf. This is the 23rd year that the combine has been held in Indianapolis. The first 22 took place at the RCA Dome. This is the first combine to be held at the Indianapolis Colts' new stadium.
Eight players from state schools have been invited to the combine with Purdue sending four players - quarterback Curtis Painter, wide receiver Greg Orton, running back Kory Sheets and defensive end Alex McGee. Ball State quarterback Nate Davis and offensive tackle Robert Brewster will also attend as will Indiana wide receiver Andrew Means and Notre Dame safety David Bruton.
The combine runs through February 24th and is closed to the public.
