All Players – Full NFL gear for all drills... no shorts, T-shirts or track shoes

40 yard dash – Start standing up, no track starts

40 yard football dash – Run 45 yards, only time the last 40. This is how most NFL races occur anyway.

CB’s. Start the 40 backwards, backpedal 5 yards, turn and go.

WR’s – Must hit and push off a blocking dummy, then take off

RB’s – All running performed while holding a football.

Any others you’d like to see added or changed?

You had me at "Full NFL gear"

Though the first five yards, in fact, the first step usually decides the battles...

I'd like to see how far they could push the sled - stamina/speed/strength...

And I'd like to see the IQ test done in a public Jeopardy meets Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader format; wow, just wow...

I'd go for cheerleader tryouts with wet tshirts and no bras.

I'd have some agility drills for them.

There is something about the way you think that is awfully funny.

And the broad jump. Don't forget the broad jump.
