After historic seasons that saw both end up in the UConn football record books, quarterback Joe Fagnano and wide receiver Skyler Bell each earned invites to the NFL Draft Combine.
The event will take place Feb. 23- March 2 in Indianapolis.
Both players put up numbers that ranked among the best in the nation statistically, with Fagnano completing 69 percent of his passes and throwing for 3,448 yards with 28 touchdowns and just one interception. Bell was one of three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s best wide receiver, and he hauled in 101 receptions (4th nationally), 1,278 receiving yards (2nd) and 13 touchdowns (tied for 3rd).
The two were among the 319 prospects invited to the combine, where they’ll have measurements taken and compete in drills testing their athleticism.
Bell is being projected as a potential third-round pick, according to various NFL Mock Draft sites, while Fagnano could go as high as the fourth or fifth round, or in the later rounds.
The NFL Draft is set to begin April 23.
