INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Utah Football program will be well represented at Lucas Oil Stadium this week for the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine with Braeden Daniels, Clark Phillips III and Tavion Thomas participation in on-field testing while Dalton Kincaid will be in attendance for interviews with teams.
The NFL Scouting Combine will feature 319 prospects all vying for a chance to become a pro. On-field drills include the 40-yard dash, three-cone drill, 20-yard shuttle and 60-yard shuttle with the prospects also taking part in the bench press, vertical jump and broad jump.
Off the field, Utah's four future Pro Utes will participate in interviews with media and with team personnel from across the league, all part of the biggest job interview of their careers.
