URI football certainly has a buzz about it

Unread post by Brian Forster »

RAM TOUGH
URI to send trio to Indianapolis
Speaking of the Combine, we’re used to seeing players from Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, and Ohio State get invited. But for the first time ever, the University of Rhode Island will be well represented in Indianapolis.
The Rams are not exactly a football powerhouse. They went 2-10 last year, including an 0-8 record in the Colonial Athletic Association. And URI’s communications department confirmed that the school never before had a player invited to the Combine in the event’s 30-plus year history. But the Rams will have three participants at this year’s Combine: Receivers Isaiah Coulter and Aaron Parker, and offensive lineman Kyle Murphy.
URI had a handful of players this decade sign with NFL teams as undrafted free agents, but haven’t had a player taken in the draft in 34 years, when the Jets took Bob White in the seventh round of the 1986 draft.
Getting invited to the Combine doesn’t ensure a player will get drafted — there are approximately 330 invitees, and 250 draft picks — but chances look pretty good that URI will get at least one draft pick this year.

Or is it a hangover?

Good luck to all 3. Tremendous accomplishment. I guess it’s safe to say talent hasn’t been holding them back.
