It is the week of the NFL Scouting Combine, which leads me to this question: Which Denver Broncos Ring of Famer—who had a fine combine—had been recruited by a Hall of Fame head coach, but never played a game for that coach?
Terrell Davis.
T.D. also deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and it is a screaming offense that he is not, but this column deals with the circular path of the NFL Combine and with George Allen as well.
The combine began in 1982 in Tampa, Fla., with NFL teams working with the league to try to make scouting a bit easier.
