It's Combine week!
National Invitational Camp (NIC), more commonly known as the NFL Combine, is touted by the NFL as "The ultimate 4-day interview" for top college prospects, complete with medical examinations, interviews, psychological evals, and physical workouts.
Thanks to the continued growth of the NFL Network, started in 1982 as a totally closed, medically-centered, barely covered event has become a major marker on the annual NFL calendar. The NFL Combine is upon us with a few changes but mostly as the official beginning of the countdown to the 2016 NFL season.
The main changes are: the RB group and the TE groups have switched in position on the schedule-- RBs will now workout on the first day of on-field drills, whereas the TEs will now be with the QBs and Wideouts (WO); and that fans are now being integrated to this event, but only for the 'skill positions,' watching the drills of the QBs, WOs, and TEs on Saturday only.
