    Good teams will also use it as a means to separate between guys that look similar on film.

    Is not a major part of the combine the opportunity for teams to be able to meet and basically interview many many targets in a short period of time? The drills are just a small part of the process.

    I would like to believe so, but it's hard to tell. Elway drafted Paxton Lynch because of how well he performed at the combine and that Dak Prescott would later miss his flight to Denver for an interview at Dove Valley. He totally ignored red flags such as two bad comprehension test scores (Wonderlic was 18) or that Lynch was describe as something such as a teddy bear by a former coach.
    Hail the BISON!!!

    A major part of the combine is to flood Indianapolis hotels and restaurants for a few days with a bunch of hopeful players, coaches and NFL executives. We appreciate your business!

    I recently read somewhere that the most important part of the combine process were the medical evaluations.

    A guy like Deluca needs the right system to succeed. It's no secret he will struggle covering the NFL backs running routes. Hoping for a 3rd day draft pick. However, I think medical maybe threw some red flags and it wouldn't shock me if he didn't get drafted. MWill didn't get drafted, was at the top in NFL for INT's for a season and still struggling to crack a roster.

    Might be true. The stud DT from Michigan was sent home this year because of a heart condition that was never detected by the Wolverines. Same thing happened to Nick Farley from Auburn a few years ago.

    That is absolutely not true. He had the same thing happen at Michigan and was cleared. He is expected to be cleared and it should NOT change his draft status.

    Warning: It is the offseason. Trollolol may or may not be in full swing. Take a deep breath and eat a trolli burger before reading my posts.

    Well, I was just repeating what I thought I heard watching the combine. Excuse me.
