Indianapolis — The NFL Combine is a series of job interviews, and even though a normal interview doesn't include feats of speed and strength, stepping on a scale in your underwear and having your body poked and prodded by a team of medical professionals, most of the prospects do their best to take a professional approach to the grueling week.

Part of that means muting the otherwise big personalities that come along with the confidence it takes to excel at the highest level of sport. Media sessions can be dull and there are a lot of "Sirs" and "Ma'ams" being unnecessarily thrown around because no one wants to stand out in a way that can be perceived as negative.
