Simpson headed to Combine
Morgan State decorated senior running back Chad Simpson has been invited to the 2008 NFL Draft Combine.
Simpson becomes the first Bear to earn a spot in the NFL
Combine since current Minnesota Viking tight end
Visanthe Shiancoe in 2003. Shiancoe was a 3rd round selection by the New York Giants.
Simpson, a first-team Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference selection, was named MEAC Player of the Year after breaking Morgan State's single season record for rushing yards. He became Morgan State's third MEAC MVP in 28 years (Darrell Coulter, 1979), and the second in four years (Bradshaw Littlejohn, 2003) after running for 1,402 yards.
The Miami native also became the ninth All-American selection at Morgan State and the first in almost 15 years (Matthew Steeple, 1993) when he was selected to the American Football Coaches Association Football Championship Subdivision Coaches' All-America Team.
Nearly 300 of the top college football players are invited annually to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, set for February 20-26. Top Executives, Coaching Staffs, Player Personnel Departments and Medical Personnel from all 32 NFL teams will be on hand to evaluate the eligible players for the upcoming NFL Draft.
