Cowboys Set for NFL Combine
February 27, 2016 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER – Three former Oklahoma State football players will test their skills in front of numerous NFL scouts and personnel this week at the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.
Defensive ends Jimmy Bean and Emmanuel Ogbah will workout on Sunday, Feb. 28, while cornerback Kevin Peterson is scheduled to workout on Monday, Feb. 29.
OSU fans interested in the players' results can watch the event live on NFL Network and on www.nfl.com. Daily recaps of the Cowboys' performances will be posted on okstate.com and on the Cowboy football Twitter and Facebook pages.
All three athletes will go through a series of evaluations, including physical measurements, psychological tests, interviews and on-field workouts, to help gauge their potential at the professional level.
Ogbah was a dominant force throughout his career, capping his time at OSU with a Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of Year performance last season. He ends his time as a Cowboy as the school's al-time leader in career quarterback hurries and ranks fourth in career sacks and tackles for loss despite forgoing his final year of eligibility.
Bean has been a key component of the Cowboy defense for several years, starting 34 consecutive games before his senior season was cut short due to injury. Despite missing the last five games of the year, he ranked second on the team with 10.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks.
Peterson, who was also invited to this year's Senior Bowl, was consistently a lock-down cornerback who started in all four years of his career. He was a 2015 team captain and a first-team All-Big 12 performer who was a central figure in helping OSU limit Baylor's Corey Coleman, TCU's Josh Doctson and Oklahoma's Sterling Shepard all under 100 receiving yards last season.
The 2016 NFL Scouting Combine is held from Feb. 23-29, while the 2016 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 28-30 in Chicago.
