Unglamorous title it may be, we're talking about the NFL combine. The dog-and-pony show that is the combine is pejoratively known as the underwear Olympics because of how relevant the exercises that the prospects are doing to actual football action- which is to say, not much. There's still important work done at the combine- testing, both mental and psychological, and general health exams and official measurements for underclassmen. It kind of gives teams an idea of what to look for on film- it's by no means a be-all and end-all. This year, Virginia Tech has four players that are at the combine: Dadi Nicholas, Luther Maddy, Ryan Malleck, and Kendall Fuller.
