The NFL Scouting Combine is more than just watching young prospects run various drills in spandex for the period of a week or so.
It’s a valuable piece of evaluation for scouts, general managers and even agents leading up to the NFL Draft.
The combine provides yet one more element of draft analysis in determining which players will wind up being the right fit for teams when draft day comes.
The 2017 NFL Scouting Combine starts on Tuesday, February 28 and will run until March 6. Collegiate players from across the country are invited to partake in a series of drills and media interviews — all of which play into when, and by whom, they are drafted.
