Thirty-two players with Georgia connections (26 from Georgia high schools, six from Georgia colleges) have been invited to the NFL scouting combine, which will be held Feb. 23-March 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
The number is up from the 25 players who were invited in 2019.
Ten Georgia Bulldogs players are invited. In 2018, they had 12 led by Nick Chubb and Sony Michel.
In 2016, a total of 26 players with Georgia ties competed at the combine. In 2015, there were 37. In 2014, 23 players and in 2013, 29 and in 2012, there were 26.

The first on-field drills will start Feb. 27.
Today, we’ll look at Florida Atlantic tight end Harrison Bryant:
Harrison Bryant, 6-5, 240, TE, John Milledge Academy, Florida Atlantic. He won the John Mackey award as the top tight end in the nation in 2019. He became just the third Owl to surpass the single-season 1,000 yard mark in a 49-6 win over UAB in the Conference USA Championship game with four receptions for 39 yards and added a score. He also earned unanimous All-American status, as he was voted First Team by AFCA, Associated Press, FWAA, Sporting News and Walter Camp. He has a 6.44 grade (boom or bust) grade by NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein.
