After getting the chance to speak with a number of prospects at the NFL Combine, it became clear that the San Francisco 49ers contingent in Indianapolis left quite the impression on the players they met with throughout the week.
The combine is essentially a week-long job interview for these players, so they will typically meet with dozens of teams throughout the process. Generally, you’d be hard-pressed to find any of these prospects go out of their way to say outright a meeting didn’t go well with a given team.
What stood out about the comments regarding the 49ers is that they broke the mold of the generic “yes” or “no” responses you generally would hear when asked about if they met with a given team.
