By Jack Crosby
A look at the offensive linemen that will be taking part in the NFL Scouting Combine this month.
The NFL Draft is right around the corner here this coming spring, so it’s time to start taking a look at some of the best prospects that are coming out of the collegiate ranks. Of course, the one place where we get the best look at these players is at the NFL Scouting Combine, which takes place every February in Indianapolis.
Well, it’s time to start getting ready for this year’s edition of the Scouting Combine, and on Thursday we got a look at the full list of players who had received invites.

The offensive linemen will always be a crucial part of the offense, and maybe the most crucial overall. We see time and time again how valuable a good offensive lineman can be, especially when they keep the quarterback off the ground.
This year there is a talented group of offensive linemen, but the one player that everyone has their eyes on is Laremy Tunsil out of Ole Miss. There are some out there that believe he could be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, and it’s really not all that far-fetched to think that. A solid workout at the Combine and he might secure that spot.
The NFL Scouting Combine will take place in Indianapolis from February 23-29.
