No combine= uncertainty. Also these guys know these 40 times are not accurate

Now, when you go to these pro days you’ll have certain players working out in an indoor facility with a faster track under weather-controlled conditions and then you’ll have some colleges that they’ll be running in 40 degrees and the wind will be blowing in their face. So, when you click on the report, you’ll see the numbers, but it’s going to take a lot of historical research.”
“There are schools that typically produce faster 40 times. I don’t want to name names, but we all know there’s a list of schools that we always say, ‘Do they run it 38-yards there or 39-yards there?’ Because you’ll have player X go to the combine and run a 4.5 and then go to their school and run 4.4, 4.38.”

Are there any Lucas Niang type players this year? Last year was a really shitty year to have an injury like that but no combine this year is even worse bc you’re relying on doctors that the NFL doesn’t use.
That’s why the combine is so important. They have the entire medical facility and locker room in Indy prepped with several doctors to check these guys out and make that info know to everyone.
I think you’re going to see some of these medical guys fall like Naing did. Too much risk for these GM’s
