Earlier this week, the New York Giants joined the rest of the NFL in Indianapolis, Indiana, as the league prepares for the on-field workouts that commence with the linebacker and defensive line groups on Thursday.
The workouts at the Combine are a popular event that provides valuable measurement and testing information about each player in attendance. The event also gives each NFL team time to meet with players and discuss possible trades. Also, the reason why the Combine was initiated in 1985 was to evaluate the medicals of each player.
There are positives to glean from every workout at these positions, but the ones that typically indicate success at the next level are the explosive drills - the vertical and broad jumps - as well as the 10-yard-split that is measured on the first ten yards of the forty-yard-dash.
