Ohio State Football: Why Mike Weber needs a strong NFL Combine

Ohio State running back Mike Weber is in the mix with a group of very good running backs in this year’s draft class. A strong NFL Combine performance can move him up in the draft order as the running back position is always heavily scrutinized.

Pro scouts and general managers put a lot of importance in seeing running backs go toe-to-toe during the workouts. They have already analyzed them from their stats, factored in playing time, style of offense they played in, strength of opposition, injuries etc. But opinions can change when they see them perform in person against their peers.
