Even though there won't be a traditional NFL Scouting Combine this year, players are still receiving combine invites, and former Ohio State punter Drue Chrisman is among them.
Chrisman shared a copy of his combine invitation Sunday on Twitter.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the workout portion of the NFL Scouting Combine will not be held in 2021. Instead, Chrisman and the rest of Ohio State's NFL draft prospects will have to wait until Ohio State's March 30 pro day to work out for coaches and scouts.
Players who are invited to the combine will have the opportunity to participate in virtual interviews with NFL teams and psychological testing, while some combine invitees – though not all – will be asked to travel to Indianapolis for “a two to three day comprehensive orthopedic medical examination by NFL team doctors and athletic trainers.”

The NFL has not yet released a full list of combine invitees, but Ohio State has as many as 14 players from its 2020 team who could be candidates to earn those invitations.
