per Andrew:
Carter Coughlin and Kamal Martin are together again, this time as roommates at the NFL scouting combine.
The former Gophers linebackers, and childhood friends, are trying to prove to teams they're worth picks in April's draft.
General managers know they're a package deal, right?
"That could be the plan," Martin said Thursday. "No, but we joke about it all the time because we've been roommates since June 2016 and it hasn't stopped. We both signed with the same agent. We both room together where we're training and rooming here. It's a funny and crazy story."
Interviews with coaches and scouts as well as medical evaluations by team doctors have kept them busy. Medical tests might be critical for Martin's draft stock after undergoing knee surgery that will keep him from Saturday night's on-field athletic testing. Coughlin, third in Gophers history with 22.5 sacks, will run drills as a linebacker. He's eager to prove his athleticism in speed testing such as the 40-yard dash.
"It's going to be faster than teams think," Coughlin said.
