The next step in Kyler Murray's process has arrived.
On Thursday, the former Oklahoma quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner, and first-round pick of the Oakland Athletics was included on the official list of invitees for this year's NFL Scouting Combine, an event used by highly touted NFL prospects to boost their draft stock as they go through an assortment of drills, evaluations, and interviews with both teams and the media. If Murray wants to become a first-round pick in this year's NFL draft, he needs to accept the invitation and attend the combine.
This doesn't mean Murray, who already declared for the draft, has picked the NFL over MLB. Don't expect the A's to suddenly give up on him. They already made a big push to convince him to pick baseball over football and they still expect him to attend spring training -- at least, that's what manager Bob Melvin said a couple weeks ago -- which actually begins before the combine on Feb. 15. That's the next important date in this process.
For the rest of the lot, the combine will be the most important week of draft season. Below, you'll find the entire list of players invited to this year's combine, which will run from Feb. 26 to March 4. Check out Chris Trapasso's eight biggest snubs from the list of combine invitees as well.
