1/15/2019 8:00:00 AM | Football
NEWARK, Del. – Nasir Adderley came to Delaware to chase the NFL dream.
That dream seems to becoming a real possibility for the Philadelphia, Pa. native, a two-time All-American and three-time All-CAA performer.
Next month, he will be the second Blue Hen in as many years to participate in the NFL Combine as the standout received an invite for the prestigious event.
Adderly is now the eighth University of Delaware student-athlete to earn an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine, joining Bilal Nichols (2018), Nick Boyle (2015), Zach Kerr (2014), Joe Flacco (2008), Pat Devlin (2011), Ben Patrick (2007) and Eddie Conti (1999).
The NFL Scouting Combine will include over 300 of the top college football players in the country. Top executives, coaching staffs, player personnel departments, and medical personnel from all 32 NFL teams will be on hand to evaluate the nation's top college football players eligible for the upcoming NFL Draft.
The full schedule and dates for each position will be available later this month.
This past year, the Philadelphia, Pa. native finished the year with a career-high 87 tackles, which ranked in the top-20 nationally for defensive backs. He also had a team-high four INTs and seven pass break-ups, to go along with his one forced fumble and fumble recovery.
He was the only player in the country with over 160 tackles and nine INTs over the past two seasons.
