Six Horned Frogs Invited to 2024 NFL Combine
Six TCU players have been invited to the 2024 NFL Combine in Indianapolis. The invitees include safety Millard Bradford, running back Emani Bailey, offensive linemen Andrew Coker and Brandon Coleman, tight end Jared Wiley, and cornerback Josh Newton.
Bradford spent five seasons in Fort Worth under both Gary Patterson and Sonny Dykes. He was an important piece on TCU's 2022 National Championship runner-up defense and played an equally important role in 2023. Last season, the fifth-year safety recorded 54 tackles, five passes defended, two interceptions (one pick-six), and a forced fumble.
Bailey filled in for Kendre Miller and took the responsibility of being TCU's featured back. He had a career year in 2023, finishing with 1,209 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns on 223 carries. He also caught 25 passes for 184 yards and a touchdown.
Both Coleman and Coker are familiar faces on TCU's offensive line. Coker was named Honorable Mention All-Big 12 in 2022, while Coleman was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team in 2023. He was also a Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year honorable mention.
In just two seasons in Fort Worth, Jared Wiley became a fan favorite. The big tight end was named First-Team All-Big 12 and Honorable Mention Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. He caught 47 passes for 520 yards and two touchdowns in 2023, and his best game came against Baylor, where he caught seven passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns.
Newton was named First-Team All-Big 12 in 2022 and Second-Team All-Big 12 in 2023. He was a major factor in TCU's miraculous national championship run in 2022 and was solid for a terrible defense in 2023. Newton had 33 tackles in 2023, along with seven passes defended and one interception.
The NFL Combine will take place from Feb. 26 - March 4 in Indianapolis, IN. You can watch it on the NFL Network.
