Star Indiana running back Tevin Coleman will have to hope his incredible statistics and game film from this past season are enough for NFL scouts to assess his ability.

A foot injury will reportedly force Coleman to miss workouts at the upcoming NFL Combine, according to NFL.com. The 6-1, 210-pound junior will still participate in the other elements of the combine (interviews, weigh-in, etc.), which is Feb. 17-23 in Indianapolis.

Coleman reportedly suffered the injury at some point during the 2014 season. DraftInsider.net reported in January that he had undergone surgery in December. He is currently in a walking boot.

Coleman had a monster season with the Hoosiers in 2014, finishing with 2,036 rushing yards (with a 7.5 yards per carry average) and 15 touchdowns. He finished seventh in balloting for the Heisman Trophy. Coleman is generally regarded as one of the top five running backs in the 2015 draft.
