With the NFL combine now in the rear-view mirror, it is my favorite time of the year as we now get to examine the measurables and see if they match up with what we saw on film. And if it doesn’t, then you have to go back to the tape to see what you might have missed.
The combine shouldn’t completely change our opinions on a player, but it does show the range of possible outcomes for a receiver. A receiver that tests off the charts will likely have a higher ceiling than one who tests as a poor athlete.
