NFL combine workout boycott threat alive while agents fight for their prospects

NFL agents from around the country, ones who often compete tooth and nail against each other for clients, are coming together to discuss what they plan to do with their draft prospects when the NFL scouting combine begins next week.

The most likely road they could take — assuming combine boarding conditions don't change — is to encourage their clients not to perform the on-field workouts at the combine, according to conversations Yahoo Sports has had with multiple agents, as well as from various other reports.

The workouts are the bread and butter of the NFL's TV element from the event, which is broadcast on NFL Network.
