Maysonet Heading to NFL Combine Next Month
Stony Brook University running back to be among 300 in attendance.
After finishing second place in the voting for the prestigious Walter Payton Award, Stony Brook University running back and Riverhead High School grad Miguel Maysonet will be heading to Indianapolis next month to show off his skills in the NFL combine.
The combine will be held Feb. 20 - 26, and according to Newsday, Maysonet will be one of 300 prospects there.
The running back, who earned several awards including All-America honors from six different organizations after leading the Football Championship Subdivision in rushing yards per game (with over 150), is projected to be drafted anywhere from the fourth to seventh rounds, depending on who is doing the guessing.
