Twenty-seven prospects from Group of Five schools have been invited to the NFL Combine. Even in the era of the transfer portal, NIL, and conference realignment, NFL scouts and coaches have shown they see potential in the stars from G5 teams.
For example, Toledo defensive back Quinyon Mitchell is projected by some to be drafted in the first round this year. Right now, he’s No. 1 on HERO Sports’ Group of Five Big Board.
Here’s a look at the top G5 prospects who will be going to the NFL Combine.
