NFL Combine

The NFL combine has been nothing but a surprise. The most impressive quarterback was unknown coming into the draft Arizona’s Matt Scott. Most experts said that the ball exploded out of his hand. The best Offensive Line man at the combine was an unheard of kid coming from an unheard from school. Terron Armstead is a 306 Ibs offensive tackle ran a 4.7 at the combine he played his college ball at Pine Bluff University. Where that is I can’t tell you. The most surprising Wide Receiver was Denard Robinson; a converted quarterback from Michigan proved to the scouts that he has hands. This made me believe that no matter what school you play at to look good in the combine athleticism is key. You can’t teach athleticism but looking good at the combine is a far way from being a good football player. This is why I always believed that the combine never meant anything unless you have to prove yourself. If you’re going to get drafted the combine doesn’t mean anything you can go 1st overall and still be worse then the 300th pick. Take Tom Brady for, seven quarterbacks were drafted before him and only one is still playing in the NFL today. Tom Brady has 3 super bowl rings  while everyone else is working a desk job. Its how you prove yourself when you’re in an actual game.
