Goedeke, Raimann earn invites to NFL combine
Central Michigan offensive tackles Luke Goedeke and Bernhard Raimann have received invites to the NFL Draft Combine, the league announced Wednesday.
The duo of Chippewas are among 324 Draft prospects to be invited to attend the combine, which runs from March 1-7 in Indianapolis, Indiana. While in Indianapolis, combine participants go through a number of on- and off-field testing and are evaluated by NFL scouts.
NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah ranked Raimann as his 28th best Draft prospect. The Steinbrunn, Austria native is considered to be a potential first round selection in the NFL Draft, which begins April 28.
Raimann and Goedeke were both selected to participate in the 2022 Senior Bowl, playing on the National team coached by the New York Jets. Goedeke suffered an injury and was unable to compete in the game, while Raimann played 31 snaps at left tackle in the National team's 20-10 victory Feb. 5.
The duo are competing to become the first Chippewa offensive linemen drafted since Eric Fisher was selected first overall in the 2013 Draft. CMU currently has 10 players on NFL rosters.
