Re: 2024 NFL Combine
When players refuse to run certain drills at the combine it's probably because they will have a poor showing and they don't want it on their player profile. When I see O linemen who doesn't want to bench press then that suggests that they are weaker than they look. The combine is meant to test the athletic skills of a football player to help with a profile for their evaluation. I believe that if a player skips a drill or test it's because they are afraid that their limitations will limit their draft status.
I agree, that a lot of these underwear Olympics don't translate to the playing field. Maybe they should all run these drills in shells to get a more accurate feeling for the player. Game speed is what matters. That and the ability to rapidly diagnose a play. One more thing. Where is the test to see what the size of the mans heart is? How do you measure his passion? How do you test his desire to put in the work to be the best? |
