Vinny Curry & T.Y. Hilton have invites.

Bit surprised by Hilton. Thought he would fly under the radar and go to the Shrine game. That's exciting though, I could easily see him blowing it up in Mobile and raising his stock significantly.

[49erNation85]

My favorite time of the year. Who is in and who out for this fun event down in Bama . I really hope that Kellen Moore goes and shows what he has for pro scouts. When do peeps usually get there invites scott ?

Nice finds, I've added Hilton and Curry to the list!

Agreed, I think he's a 2nd round pick.

Anyone who has watched Hilton has to be a fan, dude is a flat-out playmaker.

Who would you compare him to?

Well, I am biased because all his biggest games happened to be the ones which were on ESPN3 (UNT & Louisville), but frankly, I dont even know who he compares to.

Antonio Brown?

[SolidGold]

I hope Kendall Wright gets an invite...he is criminally underrated.

[AntoinCD]

I hope they get Curry to do some LB drills

[Spaceboy1]

Saw Curry when Marshall played at Houston. Wasn't impressed, he looks the part but he didn't lay a finger on Keenum.

I don't think I'd compare Hilton to Antonio Brown as a prospect...Brown at Central Michigan did eveything for them and was such a threat on special teams and any time he got the ball in his hands (was such an underrated prospect). I'm not saying T.Y. isn't a threat with the ball but I think he's more of a strict vertical threat that a guy who's gonna make significant plays on screens or short routes. I think T.Y. is pretty comparable to DeSean Jackson.

I think he'll go early 2nd as the 4th WR off the board, around the same time Titus Young went to Detroit.

nothing official outside of twitter i can find but..

auburns long snapper josh harris has been invited.

[Scott Wright]

Miami (FL) OLB Sean Spence is the latest addition.

[Scott Wright]

Broke a little news myself as Brandon Thompson told me he plans to play in the Senior Bowl.

Couldn't agree more.

[jayceheathman]

Taveon Rogers, WR, New Mexico State got an invite. He is second in the nation in return yards although Isaiah Burse had one extra game. The kid is a beast.

This one would surprise me, got a link?

[Scott Wright]

Just added four Boise St. Broncos to the list!

Before this there were only five prospects selected for the game in the history of the program.

Thats a great stat. Especially when 3 out of 5 came in the last 2 years.

He posted about going to a bowl game on his facebook page so I assumed it was the Senior Bowl since NMSU isn't bowl qualified. He responded back saying it was to something different. Sorry.
