Washington Huskies fans are well aware that the 2023 football season was special. It became even more apparent when the 2024 NFL Combine sent its invitations.
An exclusive, weeklong event, the Combine is generally open only to the top NFL prospects. Washington's previous record for most players sent to any edition of the Combine was nine in 2019.

The Huskies will send 13 players to Indianapolis for the Combine this year. For that matter, the nine Huskies who play on offense would have tied the modern Pac-12 record for most invitations for a team. Washington then added four defenders to the list.
