Actually, Snyder is listed as a running back.(Possibly slot receiver in today's jargon/) Swiacki played one season at HC, 1942. He is listed at Columbia. Bob Dee, 1955 at End. (Offensive or Defensive?) It seems Jalen Coker occupies a unique place in HC football lore. All Star selection & invitee to the NFL combine as a WR. How much of HC's recent success on offense is due to Coker's ability to catch the football? And, he will have an HC college degree.

What is taking HC so long to put an out a release on this? This is huge for HC and the PL. Take advantage of it !!!!!

Thanks, TD Are Jalen and CJ the first Crusaders to be invited to the NFL Combine Hoops, I am not totally sure if CJ and Jalen are the first Crusaders ever invited to the NFL Combine. I do not want to make a categorical statement without actual knowledge.
Here is a little background info on the NFL Combine:
When was the NFL Scouting Combine founded? National Football Scouting Inc. (NFS) held the first National Invitational Camp in Tampa, Fla., in 1982. The camp welcomed 163 players as 16 member clubs acquired medical information on prospects.
What did the NFL do before the Combine? Prior to 1982, teams had to schedule individual visits with players to run them through drills and tests. The national invitational camp (NIC) was first held in Tampa, Florida, in 1982. It was originated by National Football Scouting, Inc. as a means for member organizations to look at NFL draft prospects. Who invented the NFL Combine? The history of the NFL Combine officially traces back to 1982 when National Football Scouting Inc. held the first National Invitational Camp (NIC). This was in response to a proposal from Dallas Cowboys President and General Manager Tex Schramm.
How do players get invited to the NFL Combine? Participants for the NFL Combine are selected by the Player Selection Committee. The committee is made up of individuals from several NFL player personnel departments, and the directors of the National and BLESTO (Bears-Lions-Eagles-Steelers Talent Organization).
How fast was Bo Jackson's 40 time? 4.13 seconds

From my brief research, the early “Combines” of the 1980’s were more physicals/medical examinations. The combine moved to Indianapolis in 1987 and didn’t really become the training/workout focus mega event it is now till the 90’s.
I would assume some of the players of the 80’s (Gil F, Lockbaum etc) could have attended the early combine periods but they looked nothing like the modern version.

I think there is some issue on the 40 times as they were hand-timed the first few years. Then the combine moved to electronic timing

I'm starting to see quite a bit of buzz around Jalen the last few days.
He's also already met with the Steelers down in Frisco.

I love that Jalen says part of what motivates him is putting Holy Cross on the map and representing all the people that played a role in getting him to this opportunity.

Coker may have gotten injured in Day 2 practice. Came up lame and has returned to the field yet

UGH, hopefully it’s just a tweak and nothing serious.

Looks like Jalens shrine bowl week is over Any idea why? Injury? Seems odd given the positive tweets we've seen.

Looks like Jalens shrine bowl week is over Any idea why? Injury? Seems odd given the positive tweets we've seen. Pulled on lame during 1 on 1s yesterday and never went back in. Just based on the wording I'm worried it's something like a hamstring. Hopefully he can get fully healthy in time for the combine
