Braelon Allen and these Wisconsin players were invited to the 2024 NFL Combine
Three Wisconsin Badgers will be making thier way to Indianapolis toward the end of the month to participate in the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine.
Those three players who will be participating in the multi-day event are running back Braelen Allen, offensive lineman Tanor Bortolini, and linebacker Maema Njongmeta. Bortolini already competed in an NFL run event earlier in the month when they played in the Reese's Senior Bowl.
The NFL Scouting Combine will run from February 26 through March 4 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. This multi-day event will give 321 players who were invited the opportunity to showcase their talents and prove they belong in the NFL. These players will go through a series of physical, mental, and medical tests to make sure they are fit to play in the NFL.
Allen is a solid running back heading into the draft in April. He ran for over 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons and fell 16 yards from the milestone in his third season with the Badgers.
Bortonlini is someone who benefitted from the Senior Bowl. He raised his draft stock in Mobile with his ability to pass block and hold his own on the line. He is a player that many NFL teams could use as he is a utility offensive lineman who can play both right and left tackle.
Njongmeta is a player many people have not heard a lot about. He has not been on any draft boards or CBS's top 250 players, but he has his invite to the draft. Njongmeta played in 33 games for the Badgers and recorded 158 total tackles, 20 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, three fumble recoveries, and one interception.
Fans can watch all these players in more at the end of the month on NFL Network and the NFL app as they compete for their spot in the NFL.
