University of Delaware and Hodgsons own Bilal Nichols was invited to the NFL Combine.

I suspect Henderson would be too, and O'Neil being a 1st round favorite that gives Delaware 3 kids at the Combine.

Would that be the most at one time?

I really am not to sure about invitations to the combine. My knowledge just goes as far as who from DE has made the league for at least a year. That list (from the past 10 years) on the top of my head is as follows;

Andrew Szcerzba ...Sallies
Devon Still ....Howard
Desmond Wynn...St. Marks
Justin Brown...Concord
Paul Worrilow....Concord
Duron Harmon....CR
Derrell Smith...Hodgson
Wendall Smallwood....Red Lion
Chris Godwin....Middletown
Malcume Bunche....Newark
Justin Perillo...Tatnall
Jeff Otah...William Penn
Kyle Carter...William Penn
Montell Owens....Concord

And I know I am missing a few if anyone wants to chime in. Like I said, this is from the past 10 years. I know there were other guys like the Harris brothers and Jamie Duncan. But from 2008 on, DE has made quite the impact in the league as it seems we have about 2 players a year make a roster.

I know that Worrilow, Brown, and Harmon all graduates high school 2008 to 2009 so a possibility those 3 were. Still, Wynn, and Szcerzba were also close in age as they graduated 2007 and Smith in 2006.

Forgot about Smith. (Forgot about Pencader)

Yeah true . Pencaders team was only existence for about 2 or 3 years I believe. I feel like I am missing a few more guys though that made the league from 2007 and on. But that would bring the list to 15 guys who made either a roster or practice squad from the past 10 years...not too shabby!

Anybody know what happened with the Merrel twins? Did they ever make a roster or practice squad for a year? Or the Jackson kid? Maybe they are the ones I am missing.

Regardless 15 athletes making the league in 10 years is awesome. And if we added a list of guys who also got a tryout, which is an accomplishment in itself, I think the list would double to about 30 guys.
