On Wednesday, the NFL released its list of players who have received invites to the NFL Scouting Combine.

In total, 324 players received invites for the event, which will take place in Indianapolis from March 1 through March 7.

The list includes six former Oregon players who will look to elevate their draft stock in the coming months. Those players are:

  • Johnny Johnson III, WR
  • Verone McKinley III, DB
  • Kayvon Thibodeaux, DL
  • CJ Verdell, RB
  • Devon Williams, WR
  • Mykael Wright, DB

For those wondering about perceived snubs, quarterback Anthony Brown, wide receiver Jaylon Redd and offensive linemen George Moore have all exhausted their eligibility at Oregon and will not be returning to Eugene, but also did not receive combine invites.

Oregon received the second-most invites of any team in the Pac-12. Only Arizona State had more.

  • Arizona: 0
  • Arizona State: 8
  • California: 0
  • Colorado: 1
  • Oregon State: 1
  • Stanford: 1
  • Washington: 4
  • Washington State: 3
