Combine related story thread I once overheard some men in a cafe (at lifetime fitness) talking about how slow a WR at the combine was for running a 4.77. I interrupted, told them that is fast for a normal human. They mocked me and said they could all run 4.7 right now.

No, I don’t watch much because I just want to see the numbers. However, don’t get too caught up with them. Here’s a good article on the top performers. Try to pick out the Pro Bowl guys. You won’t find many. Numbers are okay but not the same as playing football.

It's funny you say that because I like to watch players. I think you can tell a lot about how they move, how fluid they are, body control etc that the numbers don't cover.

It's one of the reasons I was never high on Isabella for example. Especially so with CB's and WR's.

I'm perhaps wrong but have had the impression that whoever wins the bench contest is a victim on cut day.

Good stuff, Ronin. Like to see info from the Combine.

The combine is where poor organizations (read Cardinals) overrate players on how they perform in gym shorts.

North Carolina QB Sam Howell will throw tonight at the combine, but he won’t do any testing after tweaking a calf during Senior Bowl practice last month. Minor tweak and the plan is to run at his pro day March 28.

Howell had the highest spin rate (728.6) at the @seniorbowl, per @ZebraTechnology ball-chipped data. Another chance to show off that arm on a big stage tonight.

Nah, the hand measurements are so overrated.

I don't know how anyone can have a QB called Pickett. That's just writing the headline in advance.

NFL draft: Slimmer Evan Neal, possible No. 1 overall pick, will skip combine drills

Neal slimmed down to 337 pounds but will not work out in Indianapolis.

They need to stop kids opting out of doing the combine. It's getting more and more each year, especially the top picks.

If you enter the draft the combine should be compulsory unless signed off injured by a doctor.

I mean, that way, when we fail to make the playoffs due to a late-season swoon after a hot start, we can call the first half of the season Pickett's Charge

Maybe, but the guy had 26 career fumbles for a reason.

Um why? Because YOU want to know more about them? If it doesn't make sense for the player to participate, they shouldn't.
