Cardinals turn into treasure hunters at scouting combine

INDIANAPOLIS – In Greek mythology, the Oracle of Delphi advised those seeking hidden treasure to leave "no stone unturned" in their search.

Professional football wasn’t around back then, but the philosophy also applies today to finding talented players. That’s why a good portion of the NFL descends upon downtown Indianapolis this week, where they will prod, pull and pry the 330 or so college prospects invited to the scouting combine.

The Cardinals are sending a contingent of 64 people here this week, including personnel executives, athletic trainers, the video crew, orthopedic surgeons, a radiologist, a psychiatrist and, of course, college scouts.
