NFL Combine Invites - SamuelMcF - 02-06-2018

Phillips, Reid, Meeks, Schultz, Bright, and Kalambayi.

Personally I think Marx is being slept on here, but fullbacks don't usually get drafted anyways. I have little doubt in my mind he'll be picked up somewhere and get a shot.

Hard to imagine Marx not playing on Sundays.

Glad to see Shaquem Griffin was invited. Only player ever to be welcomed without four fully functioning limbs I would guess.

Very excited to watch his combine performance and see how he does in the NFL. He was nothing short of incredible in the Peach Bowl against Auburn - 12 total tackles, 3.5 TFLs, 1.5 sacks on the big stage.

Six invites seems like a lot for Stanford. Anyone know the Stanford record for combine invites?Â Glad to see Bright and Peter K invited as I don't think they were shoe-ins to be invited.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Six is normal.Â That is great.Thanks for the research below.

Much to the chagrin of my boss, I did some research.

In recent history:
2010: 4 (Jim Dray, Toby Gerhart, Matt Kopa, Erik Lorig)
2011: 4 (Owen Marecic, Ryan Whalen, Sione Fua, Richard Sherman)
2012: 6 (David DeCastro, Coby Fleener, Delano Howell, Andrew Luck, Jonathan Martin, Chris Owusu)
2013: 4 (Zach Ertz, Stepfan Taylor, Chase Thomas, Levine Toilolo)
2014: 8 (Tyler Gaffney, Ryan Hewitt, Cam Fleming, David Yankey, Josh Mauro, Trent Murphy, Shayne Skov, Ed Reynolds)
2015: 6 (Ty Montgomery, Andrus Peat, Henry Anderson, David Parry, Alex Carter, Jordan Richards)
2016: 6 (Kevin Hogan, Devon Cajuste, Austin Hooper, Josh Garnett, Kyle Murphy, Blake Martinez)
2017: 4 (Christian McCaffrey, Solomon Thomas, Michael Rector, Conrad Ukropina)
2018: 6 (Harrison Phillips, Justin Reid, Quenton Meeks, Dalton Schultz, Peter Kalambayi, David Bright)

My guess would be the 8 guys in 2014 is the record, based on our recent run of success.

EDIT:
Also keep in mind that some of our guys that have gotten NFL snaps (e.g. Doug Baldwin, Johnson Bademosi, Michael Thomas, Matt Masifilo, Griff Whalen, AJ Tarpley SORRY IF I FORGOT ANYONE ELSE SIGNIFICANT I LOVE YOU ALL) didn't receive invites to the Combine.

Seems like 6 invites is typical for Stanford (at least in recent years).

Interestingly in 9 years, we have never had an odd number of invites.

The folks doing the inviting probably think our guys need someone interesting to talk to when they are paired up during drills.Â HAH!Â

Always wondered how they scheduled roommates...

I see very few who have not gotten to play in an NFL game.

Perhaps they did, and I miss it, but out of the 42, previous to this year, I think only these haven't gotten to play in an NFL official game: Kopa, C. Thomas, Gaffney, Cajuste, Rector, and Ukropina. That's 6 outta 42. Not bad.
