Three former Washington State football players have been invited to attend the NFL scouting combine.

Quarterback Connor Halliday, wide receiver Vince Mayle and defensive lineman Xavier Cooper all received invitations to the annual showcase in which players perform drills designed to measure their strength and athleticism and meet with representatives from NFL teams.

Mayle is likely to perform well in this setting given his incredible size/speed ratio. Cooper can greatly help himself by putting up good numbers that show off his explosiveness, which for Halliday the combine is likely to be about proving that he's on the mend after his late-season injury and has been able to continue to put on muscle and weight.
