Nick Weiler Among 2017 NFL Combine's Biggest Snubs

Posted Feb 21, 2017
10. Nick Weiler, K, North Carolina: You might remember Weiler for his tomahawk chop celebration after drilling a 54-yarder to beat Florida State. He did not build on that moment with a great season (15 of 21 on field goals), but he was 7 of 10 from beyond 40 yards (3 of 5 from 50-plus). Four kickers, five punters and two long snappers are headed to the combine. (Sports Illustrated)
