NFL Combine preview: The (meh) QB class, Pac-12 legacy invites, Tyson’s test, Coleman’s competition, Sadiq’s numbers and more

The NFL invited 16 quarterback prospects to the 2026 scouting combine in Indianapolis this week. The collection includes players from Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt, North Dakota State and Texas Tech. Even traditional football power Connecticut produced an invitee.

Who isn’t represented? Half the country.

Imagine a not-quite-straight line running from Fargo, North Dakota, through Lawrence, Kansas, to Lubbock, Texas.

No quarterbacks from schools to the left of that line will be represented in Indianapolis.
