NFL Scouting Combine Primer

This week the biggest job interview in the lives of hundreds of college football players takes place in Indianapolis at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine. Players will be measured, tested, examined, interviewed and run through a variety of drills while scouts, coaches and GMs from every NFL team look on and evaluate. For most (like myself) the game film has been watched and the postseason games evaluated so that the Combine serves to confirm or deny an evaluation on a player. However, occasionally a guy will surprise in Indy, sending scouts scurrying for another look at the tape. In addition, much of the “action” happens out of view of the cameras, as interviews, drug test and medical exams can drastically influence a prospects stock without the public’s knowledge. So here is your program for all the action including a list of the invitees. The next post will focus on the schedule and biggest question marks. Let the Underwear Olympics begin!
