For those interested in how it all began. http://www.azcentral.com/sports/cardinals/articles/0222combine0222.html
Very interesting read. Good to know. Has anyone else seen articles discussing the possibility of a change in venue for the NFL draft, I saw somewhere that the draft might be on the move and Nashville is one of the places.
Here's the Combine site which has a diagram of the drills. http://www.nflcombine.net/ The schedule of events: http://www.nflcombine.net/nicsched.aspx
Here's a good article from Alex Smith on what a player goes through at the Combine. http://www.sf49ers.com/newsroom/DisplayNews.asp?newsid=3168
I was shocked at how well Nashville supported the NHL draft. I'm not a huge hockey fan, but I went down there for it and it was a lot of fun. Its too bad the GEC is booked, because of they held the NFL draft there, the place would be packed to the rafters.
I bet if the draft came here, the could hold it in Opryland hotel the first year, with the promise that it could go to the GEC the next year. The NFL/organizers getting the draft to come to Nashville could pay the CMM to get them to move the date up a week so they could do it in the GEC. I would love to see the combine out of Indianopolis too
The NFL isnt going to make Nashville its permanent home. If they move it out of NYC, it'll be in a different city every year.
So, we get to interview 60 players. Does anywhere publish a list of the 60 players that each team interviews?
