He is that 6'5" 215# that the NFL likes to see in punters.
Here is the way to get an invite:
Participants are determined annually by a Selection Committee. The Directors of both National and BLESTO scouting services, which combined represent twenty-five NFL teams, are joined by members of various NFL player personnel departments to form the committee. The participating NFL executives can rotate on a yearly basis, and remain anonymous. ALL eligible players are reviewed and voted on by the committee members. Each athlete receiving the necessary number of votes, by position, is then extended an invitation. While it is not a perfect science, the goal of the committee is to invite every player that will be drafted in the ensuing NFL Draft. (http://www.nflcombine.net/faq/how-ar...he-nfl-combine)
My son is not happy about this. Says if Ben makes it to NFL we have to go see him. I can't say no as Ben helped the Bison win it all repeatedly.
So will Ben be at NDSU's Pro Day or whatever they call it (date)?
