Five former Iowa football players — two offensive, three defensive — have been invited to and will participate in the 2014 NFL Combine being held later this month at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. This news was first reported by Frank Cooney of NFLDraftScout.com.

All three of Iowa’s linebackers — Christian Kirksey, James Morris and Anthony Hitchens — were invited, as were tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz and offensive lineman Conor Boffeli. Kirksey and Fiedorowicz also participated in the Senior Bowl held last month in Mobile, Ala.

Workouts at the NFL Combine begin Feb. 22, which is the date both Fiedorwicz and Boffeli are scheduled to work out along with the other tight ends and offensive linemen to receive invites. The three linebackers will conduct their workouts in Indianapolis on Feb. 24.

No official date has been set yet for Iowa’s Pro Day in Iowa City, but it is typically held in late March. The 2014 NFL Draft takes place May 8-10.
