Pitt Football: Panthers Getting Ready For NFL Combine

by CardiacHill on Feb 4, 2026 1:01 PM EST in Pitt Football

With the NFL Combine fast approaching, several Pitt players are getting ready including injured Greg Romeus.

Romeus is one of six Pitt players who will be at the combine, which will be held from February 23rd to March 1st. But unlike those players, Romeus won't be active:

Former Pitt defensive end Greg Romeus is recovering from knee surgery and plans to attend the NFL Scouting Combine from Feb. 23 to March 1 in Indianapolis. He won't work out but will be interviewed by team officials and examined by doctors, said Drew Smith, his agent.

Romeus is hoping to work out for scouts in April prior to the NFL Draft, though.

The other Pitt players scheduled to be at the Combine include running back Dion Lewis, defensive end Jabaal Sheard, fullback Henry Hynoski, offensive tackle Jason Pinkston, and wide receiver Jon Baldwin.

It's going to be extremely interesting to see where Romeus ends up. Entering the season, he was arguably a first-round talent. But he's not had significant playing time in over a year and even if he can work out for scouts in April, he may not be at his best.

If Romeus slips in the draft, some team could get a steal because when healthy, he's an excellent player.

Romeus ad Hynoski

I have said in earlier comments that Romeus could be a second round steal for the Steelers, although i don’t theink he will last that long. He is such a freak!

I do think Hynoski is a remarkable talent, but making a big mistake going pro this year, especially with the CBA situation. He is a free agent signing, if lucky. The FB position i much less utilized these days inthe NFL. Pitt’s new system uses a lot of backs and he could fare well, while improving his stock. I don’t know if he’s signed with an agent, but if the rumors are true that the players union will boycott the combines and draft, he will spend his senior season eating cheetos on a recliner watching Pitt play.
