MUNCIE, Ind. — The preparation Danny Pinter needed to impress at the NFL Scouting Combine less than a month ago began well before he arrived in Indianapolis, and well before his career at Ball State ended.
It’s why, through the hours and hours he spent in meetings with potential employers that week at the combine, he didn’t become flustered. It’s why, as he took one medical or psychological test after another, the pressure of each moment didn’t force his knees to buckle. It’s why, although some of those late-February nights he didn’t get much sleep, he earned a spot on the NFL.
