Anybody from a school near Pittsburgh. Pitt, WVU, PSU, local small college products from places like IUP, California of PA, etc. don't usually count among the 30.

IIRC, a player from the area who played H.S. here and lives here is also not counted. Anybody confirm or deny this?

not so fast, my friends: Quote: Each NFL team is permitted to invite up to 30 national draft prospects for a pre-draft visit every year. Per league rules, these visits are not workouts, they are strictly meet and greets where the team can get a better feel for the players and the medical staff can conduct more thorough medical checkups. Additionally, teams can invite as many local prospects as they want for a workout, and the Cowboys regularly conduct their "Dallas Days" for draft-eligible players who grew up in the area or attended area colleges.

Any player who grew up in W. PA is considered local, even if they played college ball at USC.
