Mike Sando of ESPN.com, who covers the AFC West for the ESPN network of blogs has put together this nice table of 2011 NFL Scouting Combine Participants by conference. h/t to Paul Kuharsky of ESPN for linking it originally. It's interesting to see what positions are coming from where. The most any conference sends for a quarterback is 3, with the SEC, ACC, and WAC all tied. The SEC is sending the most offensive and defensive lineman, whil the ACC and the Big 12 send the most defensive backs. In all honesty, I'd have expected the Big 10 to send more big guys, but they're pretty even across the board in the positions they send.
