Utah QB Tyler Huntley didn't receive an invite to the NFL Combine.

Huntley has his warts, but the dual-threat probably deserved an audition after completing 67.2-percent of his career passes on 8.6 YPA with a 46/20 TD/INT rate and the added mobility. "He is a quick-footed athlete with a solid arm, but what stands out the most is his warrior toughness," The Athletic's Dane Brugler wrote. Brugler grades Huntley as a UDFA but believes he deserved an invite. Among other quarterbacks who didn't make the Combine cut: Mason Fine (North Texas), Bryce Perkins (Virginia), Tommy Stevens (Mississippi State) and Jacob Knipp (Northern Colorado).

South Carolina RB Tavien Feaster didn't receive an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine.

Feaster... famine? (Sorry). Feaster, a former five-star ballyhooed recruit, had a star-crossed collegiate career. He signed with Clemson but quickly found himself stuck behind a lesser-heralded recruit named Travis Etienne. A burner who ran a 10.4 100-meters in high school, Feaster transferred to South Carolina, where he rushed for 672 yards and five TD on 5.4 YPC as a senior. Feaster (6'0/221) caught 40 balls despite limited run in college. Between receiving chops and athleticism, his NFL hopes remain flickering, despite today's obvious setback. Among other Combine snubs at the RB position, the Athletic's Dane Brugler listed Adrian Killins Jr. (UCF), Reggie Corbin (Illinois), Rodney Smith (Minnesota), Jason Huntley (New Mexico State), Juwan Washington (San Diego State) and Darius Bradwell (Tulane).

The Athletic's Dane Brugler believes Princeton QB Kevin Davidson has "a good chance" to be a Day 3 pick if his interviews go well at the NFL Combine.

Davidson, a Shrine Game participant, was right on the cut line for NFL Scouting Combine invites... and ended up getting one on Friday, a really positive outlook for his odds of getting drafted on Saturday in late April. "Davidson is well-built at 6-feet-4 and 227 pounds, showing the mobility and arm talent worth developing," Brugler wrote. The analyst believes Davidson is going to test well in Indy.

Wake Forest WR Kendall Hinton wasn't invited to the NFL Combine.

The Athletic's Dane Brugler believes Hinton, a former quarterback who Wake Forest moved to receiver after the emergence of Jamie Newman and Sam Hartman, was the biggest Combine snub at the position. "He showed better polish in his routes than expected and tracked the ball naturally, showing the adjustment skills mid-air to make 'wow' catches on tape," Brugler wrote. "Hinton is a very coordinated athlete in space." Hinton posted a stellar 73-1,001-4 line in his lone full season as a receiver. Adding to the list of receiver snubs from the scouting event, Brugler also mentioned Isaiah Wright (Temple), Jonathon Johnson (Missouri), Isaiah Zuber (Mississippi State), Ja’Marcus Bradley (Louisiana) and Nick Westbrook (Indiana).

North Dakota State TE Ben Ellefson wasn't invited to the NFL Scouting Combine.

A Shrine Game participant, Ellefson was unable to draw further scouting interest from the NFL. The Athletic's Dane Brugler believes that's a mistake. "A versatile H-back style player, he is a calm, coordinated route runner with soft hands to be reliable pass-catcher in the short game," Brugler wrote. The analyst tossed out Giovanni Ricci (Western Michigan), Joey Magnifico (Memphis), Ahmad Wagner (Kentucky), Kyle Markway (South Carolina), Jared Rice (Fresno State) among other notable tight ends who were spurned.

Navy QB/WR Malcolm Perry received an invite to the combine.

We list the QB designation for Perry because it's what he played in college, but the 5-foot-9, 180-pound playmaker is getting the invite to Indianapolis to see what he can do as a wideout/slot-back. He impressed during the East-West Shrine Game in January, and he's shown that he can make even the best defenders in college football miss with the ball in his hands. A strong showing in Indianapolis will go along way towards making Perry a draftable prospect.

The Athletic's Dane Brugler ranks Florida RB Lamical Perine seventh on his list of the top running backs prior to the NFL Scouting Combine in the 2020 NFL Draft class.

Perine is a physical runner, above all else. He sports a thick frame at 5-foot-11, 218-pounds and plays with an aggressive, downhill style. As Brugler mentions, however, Perine isn't the shiftiest player on the field, despite what his occasional usage at WR may suggest. If Perine could show out at the NFL Combine and quell concerns over his athletic profile, he may be able to rise up boards.

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein compares Arizona State WR Brandon Aiyuk to Los Angeles Rams WR Robert Woods.

"Aiyuk has size, speed and is a natural pass-catcher who plays with good energy but he must improve physicality to handle contested catches," Zierlein writes, later adding that the 6-foot-1, 206-pounder "can be slick and instinctive to separate out of stems and turns." The analyst sees Aiyuk as needing "more polish," but likes the Arizona State product as a potential WR3 in the NFL down the road, as his game comes together. Noteworthy, here, Aiyuk reportedly did not pass his physical prior to the Reese's Senior Bowl. It will be interesting to see if there's anything of real concern on the medical front come combine checks. If nothing is seriously amiss, Aiyuk has Day 2 potential for the draft.

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein writes that Washington RB Salvon Ahmed "suffers from a debilitating lack of vision and decisiveness."

"Ahmed lacks feel for blocking scheme and run-lane development, but even struggled to see it and hit the gas when clear points of entry were available," Zierllein writes of the Washington back. The 5-foot-11, 196-pounder possesses intriguing speed upside, but there are real issues in his game which could prevent him from sticking in the pros, with Zierlein noting that Ahmed "leaves too many chunk plays out on the field and faces an uphill battle to make a team." He will be trying for a Day 3 selection come April, but again, there are some concerning holes, here.

Arizona State RB Eno Benjamin "displays the pro-level toughness to handle whatever is asked of him" according to Dane Brugler of The Athletic.

Benjamin (5'10/216) wasn't as productive as a junior as he was in 2018, but he still managed to become the first Sun Devil since 1974-75 to surpass 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons. He stands to be a Day 2/3 selection in April, due in large part to his productivity and competitiveness. "Benjamin runs with physical determination every time he touches the ball, which often equates to production," Brugler, who also praised Benjamin for his toughness, wrote. "He is at his best when the play is well-defined and he can make one cut and go."
