INDIANAPOLIS - The University of Connecticut football team will be represented by three athletes this year at the NFL Combine. Running back Andre Dixon (New Brunswick, N.J.), wide receiver Marcus Easley (Stratford, Conn.) and defensive end Lindsey Witten (Cleveland, Ohio) will all be in attendance at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. for the 2010 Scouting Combine.
The combine, which will be held from Feb. 24 to March 2, is the annual job fair for prospective new NFL players. For six days at Lucas Oil Stadium, players are put through a series of drills, tests and interviews with more than 600 NFL personnel including head coaches, general managers and scouts.
Workouts begin on Saturday, February 27, but the UConn stars will not be out on the turf until Sunday, February 28 when Easley starts things off for the Huskies as either a part of Group 4 or 5 which will feature quarterbacks and wide receivers. Dixon will be a part of Group 6, featuring running backs and Witten will be seen on Monday, March 1 in either Group 7 or 8 that will consist of defensive linemen.
