Four (4) Gophers invited to NFL Combine

Wow - that is a great trend line. Next separate us from that level and get right behind OSU and Michigan as they would logically be the top 2 historically.

I'm glad the parentheses were included because I don't know what 'four' means.

Golf term?

My two cents on where these four Gophers stand in the NFL Draft:

Boye Mafe - Rd 2/Rd 3
Daniel Faalele - Rd 3
Blaise Andries - Rd 6/Rd 7
Esezi Otomewo - Rd 7/UDFA

I think with a 4.53 40 at 261 pounds and a 38” vertical just punched his ticket into round 1

Psssst! Vikings.

I would have to think the Vikings would have low interest in him. Their system will not be utilizing TEs near as much as they did in the Zimmer era.

I sure hope so but this years draft is so loaded with edge rushers. Any other year I think for sure he would be locked into round 1.

There are several surprises in a crowded field. Mafe may still end up in the late 1st Round with a 4.53/40. Didn't a commentator say he may be the #4 Edge Rusher in this upcoming draft?

Fa'alele may also move up to the 2nd Round. He is a specimen. I could see some teams pulling the trigger earlier for fear of losing out on him. He is still raw experience-wise. He has a lot of upsides. We'll see how he does in the Pro Day.

Did Mafe do the bench press and long jump?
