Danny Pinter Invited to Participate in NFL Combine
February 07, 2020 | Football
MUNCIE, Ind. – Former Ball State football offensive lineman Danny Pinter hopes to be playing in the National Football League this fall. He will have his chance to impress NFL scouts from all 32 teams at the NFL Scouting Combine at the end of the month.
Pinter, hailing from South Bend, Indiana, is one of about 300 prospects who will participate in the weeklong event in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium (Feb. 24-March 1). Offensive linemen are tentatively scheduled to go through their on-field workouts on Friday, Feb. 28. Drills at the NFL Combine include the 40-yard dash, 225-pound bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, three-cone drill and 20-yard shuttle. NFL Network will provide broadcast coverage on Feb. 28 from 4 to 11 p.m.
Pinter anchored Ball State's offensive line at right tackle the last two years after making the transition from tight end following his sophomore campaign. He was one of four Cardinals to earn first team All-Mid-American Conference honors in 2019 and the first BSU offensive lineman to earn first team all-league accolades since 2013. He went on to showcase his skills against other NFL hopefuls at the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in Pasadena, California, a month ago.
Several Cardinals have been invited to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine over the last 10 years. Those players include defensive end Anthony Winbush (2018), running back Jahwan Edwards (2015), quarterback Keith Wenning (2014), wide receiver Willie Snead (2014), defensive lineman Jonathan Newsome (2014) and punter Scott Kovanda (2013).
Robert Brewster was the most recent Ball State offensive lineman to be selected in the NFL Draft. The Dallas Cowboys selected Brewster in the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft. This year's draft is set for April 23-25 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ball State concluded the 2019 season 5-7 overall and 4-4 in the MAC. The Cardinals won the Bronze Stalk Trophy from Northern Illinois for the first time since 2008 and capped the year by knocking off league champion Miami for the Red Bird Rivalry Trophy, 41-27.
Ball State opens the 2020 season on Thursday, Sept. 3 with a home game against Maine.
