For Redskins, “quarantine 40-times” disrupt evaluation process

There’s no avoiding it at this point; the Washington Redskins, along with 31 other NFL teams, will be working with information that is both faulty and incomplete in some cases on NFL Draft night. The only available athletic testing numbers exist for the select pool of players which appeared at the NFL Combine, as well as for the select few who had the opportunity to perform at pro days before they were cancelled.

For the teams and the prospects, losing pro days from the process was a mutually erosional occurrence. For the teams, the loss of the pro day was not only a major obstruction against forming accurate athletic profiles for lesser-known prospects, but also a hinderance for interviews and culture-fit analysis.
