Senior quarterback Joe Burrow headlined the list, also earning the highest draft grade of any LSU player after his Heisman winning season that included an NCAA record 60 touchdown passes. Burrow hasn't decided on his combine plans at this time but did say while accepting the Manning Award he would throw at LSU's Pro Day.
Other offensive players to receive invites are Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Justin Jefferson, Thaddeus Moss and Lloyd Cushenberry. Outside linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson and safety Grant Delpit headlined the defensive players earning an invite to the draft combine.
