There are typically 300+ players invited to the combine and that tends to be a pretty comprehensive group given that there are 256 picks in the draft. However, as Chase Goodbread of NFL.com details, there are always a handful of quality prospects who miss the cut for one reason or another. He notes that N.C. State guard Tony Adams, Texas defensive tackle Poona Ford, Northern Iowa wide receiver Daurice Fountain, Missouri defensive end Marcell Frazier, Sam Houston State defensive lineman P.J. Hall, Central Michigan defensive end Joe Ostman, and Washington State guard Cody O’Connell are among this year’s notable snubs. Frazier may be the biggest surprise as he recorded a team-high 15.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks in his final season on campus.

The combine takes place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. In addition to the evaluations of the players, the combine will also be the site of the coin toss between the 49ers and Raiders to determine who will get the No. 9 or No. 10 overall pick in the draft.
