The players don't really go head-to-head at the combine. They are just on the same field but the drills are individual drills. Having said that, having multiple sites does bring up the possibility of a faster track in one site than another and stuff like that. I love the concept of a single combine with all the top players going through drills.

I'm a little skeptical of the different sites introducing some variance like Creeper said. But Big Thing #1 is that teams will have players on-site for medicals; and Big Thing #2 is that they will run drills with an NFL coach holding the stopwatch, so the testing data should still be a lot more reliable than Pro Days.

No science to any of this. Coaches have to wear masks on the sidelines but the players don’t, makes zero sense.

No need to change it. More change for the sake of change.

This hurts small school players and is a big advantage for schools like Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State. Players like Patrick Surtain who has speed questions can run the 40 at the Alabama campus were he is comfortable at.

Look guys it’s great that the Rams paid the “shut down CB” Ramsey those big bucks. The Packers offense is not able to score any points.

We should get a shut down CB not draft front 7

I want the Penn State kid. Having a more athletic and smarter player next to LVE could pay huge dividends. Too many times LVE changed directions after his initial read to cover a hole someone else missed.
