Miller receives draft invite, Smith accepts his

The NFL has begun rolling out its invitations to the NFL draft to top prospects. Now the prospects must choose if they will attend the draft at Radio City Music Hall.

According to multiple reports, Texas A&M LB Von Miller received his invitation. Miller is a plaintiff in the players' antitrust lawsuit against the NFL.

NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reported that Alabama DL Marcell Dareus and RB Mark Ingram, Clemson DE Da'Quan Bowers, Auburn DL Nick Fairley, LSU CB Patrick Peterson and Nebraska CB Prince Amukamara also have received invitations. La Canfora said 20 total players have been invited.

Amukamara confirmed to PFW that he received his invite to the draft.

According to Pro Football Talk, Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert, Georgia WR A.J. Green, Wisconsin DE J.J. Watt and Missouri DE Aldon Smith also have been invited by the league to attend.

USC OT Tyron Smith told NFL Network that he not only received an invite, but also accepted his invitation to the draft, joining Alabama WR Julio Jones and Iowa DE Adrian Clayborn as top prospects who have confirmed their attendance at the draft.

There are reports that some agents are encouraging clients not to attend the draft because of the current NFL lockout. The NFLPA has scheduled a reception for Thursday night, April 28, but it does not conflict with the start of the draft.
