The next step, for Nebraska football players who are wanting to get to the pros is going on right now. The NFL Combine is taking place this weekend and there are five Huskers trying to impress scouts in order to get drafted.

While none of the players from Nebraska who are slated for the NFL draft appear to be ones that are going all that early, there is a chance they could win over the scouts with great showings this weekend.
