PITTSBURGH — The NFL Combine is perhaps the premier event of the offseason for draft hopefuls to make a mark.

It’s a week-long spectacle at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, where the top NFL Draft prospects run drills, meet and interview with NFL teams and have a chance to impress NFL personnel with their play and measurables.

Pitt will send a large contingent to Indianapolis this year:

  • RB Israel Abanikanda
  • OT Carter Warren
  • LB SirVocea Dennis
  • DE Habakkuk Baldonado
  • DT Calijah Kancey
  • S Brandon Hill
