The NFL Scouting Combine is the real start of NFL Draft season each year. This week, 319 prospects have been invited to Indianapolis for a week of medicals, interviews, and physical testing. Like the All-Star games, the Combine is just a piece of the puzzle and not the be-all-end-all of where a player might get selected. It is a total misnomer that a player actually ups his stock with a strong Combine. It does get him noticed, and when he outperforms what his expectations were, it lets clubs know that they need to do more work on the player to make sure their grade is correct.
