However, I heard a couple days ago about one player who skipped combine workouts because he felt a number of his teammates should have been invited to the combine, but were not. Only performing at his pro day, when his non-combine-invite teammates are also there, gets them more exposure to team scouts, coaches, and execs. I don't know whether or not I agree with the reasoning, but I can see the validity in it. 

So maybe I need some education, but doesn't the Combine limit the number of invitees?

To me, if you're gonna accept the invite, you should work out.
Otherwise, you could be taking a spot for someone else who could have taken advantage of the larger exposure and really improved their chances to be drafted (earlier).
