Posted by Travis Stewart on 21 February 2012 | 0 comments
With the NFL Combine just around the corner — Wednesday, in fact, and running through the 28th of February — it's timely to take a quick look at all the Texas kids who will be making the trip to prove their mettle in front of scouts. Remember, roughly 300 players are invited to the Combine every year — so 48 Texas kids making the trip is pretty special. This was a great year for Texas kids at out-of-state schools, and not just at the regional rivals. Who do you think the best pro player of the mix could be?
