Good morning, Chargers fans!
The 2022 NFL Combine officially kicks off today in Indianapolis as the tight ends, quarterbacks, and wide receivers from this draft class take the field.Unlike past combines, prospects will have their measureables taken, bench press, and perform their on-field drills all in the same day.
Before this year, prospects would bench on the prior day to on-field work. This was a major point of contention when it came to the group of NFL agents threatening a boycott of the event last month. Due to the physically taxing nature of the bench test, many deemed it far too dangerous for players to exert themselves in that fashion only to go perform intense running and jumping tests just hours later.
