Make no mistake about the everpresent fact that NFL is, first and foremost, a business. Everything that they do on a foundational level is driven by a desire to try to make the owners the most amount of money possible. It ultimately affects every aspect of the game, and there’s no escaping that fact.
The latest facet of the game to be reshaped by the quest by the league to make as much money as possible is the NFL Scouting Combine, with the desire to make it a primetime spectacle having a real impact on how teams are able to manage their time there.
