By Invitation Only

The NFL Scouting Combine is this week. All of the "experts" will be there looking at the 327 players invited to display their talents. Most of them will be drafted by one of the teams. Many will never get the chance to even make it to a training camp.


Rosters are full of players who never got drafted. The NFL Network did a Top 10 of players never drafted and there were some huge names on the list: Hall of Famers QB Warren Moon, DT John Randle, FB Marian Motley and CB Dick "Night Train Lane". Former players include WR Wayne Chrbet and Kurt Warner. TE Antonio Gates QB Tony Romo and K Adam Vinatieri round out the current players.

Some players never get invited to the Scouting Combime. RB Danny Woodhead is a prime example in spit of being a two-time winner of the Harlon Hill Division II Player of the Year.

This is a very inexact science. People get paid a lot of money and make mistakes in the end.
