Former UL cornerback Bill Bentley and tight end Ladarius Green are among a select 120 college players invited to the annual NFL Combine, a talent show/screen test for prospects in April's NFL draft that allows scouts and coaches to evaluate prospective players. The pair helped lead the Ragin' Cajuns to a win in the 2011 New Orleans Bowl and each was also invited to the recent Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.

Bently and Green will join eight players from LSU - linebacker Ryan Baker, defensive lineman Michael Brockers, defensive back Ron Brooks, defensive back Morris Claiborne, quarterback Jordan Jefferson, tight end DeAngelo Peterson, receiver Rueben Randle and strong safety Brandon Taylor - as well as Louisiana Tech running back Lennon Creer and McNeese free safety Janzen Jackson for a total of 12 players from the Bayou State invited to the prestigious event.
