Nine former Notre Dame players invited to NFL Combine

The 2020 NFL Combine is going on through Sunday in Indianapolis. Some of the nation's best college football players are there, including nine former Notre Dame football players.

The following players got an invitation to the combine:

• Chase Claypool
• Chris Finke
• Cole Kmet
• Tony Jones Jr
• Julian Okwara
• Khalid Kareem
• Jalen Elliot
• Alohi Gillman
• Troy Pride, Jr.

The big ones to watch this weekend include Cole Kmet who could be a first or early second rounder, Chase Claypool who is looking to build on a great senior bowl performance and has put on a few pounds since then and may be open to playing tight end in the NFL.

Julian Okwara is a potential second round pick and Khalid Kareem is always a beast on the defensive side of the ball.
