Albert Breer reports that Ohio State C Billy Price is believed to have sustained a torn pectoral during his bench press testing at the NFL Combine and is waiting on MRI results to confirm.

Price was graded as a first-round talent by some evaluators heading into the combine and projected as a guard or center at the NFL level, so it will be interesting to see how this injury affects his draft value.

The Vikings reportedly requested a formal interview with Price on Thursday. (NFLTR)

Price is a two-time All-American while at Ohio State and is viewed as one of the top centers available in the 2018 NFL Draft. He set a school record for consecutive starts at 55.

In 2017, Price was named the Big Ten offensive lineman of the year, was a unanimous All-American, and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors.
