Norfolk State's Trail invited to NFL scouting combine

NORFOLK, Virginia -- The feeling was more relief than surprise Friday for former Norfolk State linebacker Lynden Trail, but that didn't make the news any less welcome.

Trail, a three-time first-team All-MEAC performer, got word that he'd been invited to the NFL's annual Scouting Combine, to be held Feb. 17-23 in Indianapolis.

Trail, who will play in the prestigious Senior Bowl on Jan. 24, said he got a call from the combine's office asking him to check his email. There, he found a letter from the league's football operations arm with the invitation.

"(I'm) very excited," Trail said from Dallas, where he's training with former Cowboys stars Randy White and Kevin Smith. "Not to say I didn't think I was going to get an invite. I was very optimistic about it."
