So the combine starts today, do you give a rip, does it seperate the men from the boys, or is it just this thing that the NFL puts on.

What:2005 Scouting Combine
When: February 23rd - March 1
Where: Indianapolis, IN
Indiana Convention Center

With the ever-increasing interest in the NFL Draft, the Scouting Combine has grown in both scope and significance. The combine allows select NFL Head Coaches & General Managers to sneak a peak at the upcoming college talent pool.

The Scouting Combine has come a long way since National, Blesto and Quadra Scouting services began back the workouts back in 1977. The Combine has always been 'by invite only', and other than the players and team officials that are invited, very few are permitted to attend. The invitees go through various physical and mental challenges for the team officials as clubs try to evaluate the talent pool available to them:

40 Yard Dash / Bench Press / Vertical Jump / Broad Jump / 20 Yard Shuttle / 3 Cone Drill / 60 Yard Shuttle / Position Specific Drills / NFL Team Interviews / The Wonderlic Test / Physical Measurements / The Cybex Test / Injury Evaluation / Urine test

Invitees are separated by position and workout on specific days through the week:

Thursday, Feb. 24: Offensive Linemen, Running Backs, Kickers, Punters

Friday, Feb. 25: Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Wide Receivers

Saturday, Feb. 26: Defensive Linemen, Tight Ends

Sunday, Feb. 27: Defensive Backs, Linebackers

Could they take a look at a punter or two?

the Chiefs base their picks on recommendations from players coaches - such as drafting Ryan Sims w/out attending a personal work out with him.

Besides, most of our 'profile guys' probalby won't attend the combine.

Bravo Zulu Chiefs.
