COSTA MESA, Calif. -- As Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco likes to say, his scouting staff already began to do the work on this year’s quarterback class back in September -- reviewing film, talking to coaches on college campuses and watching them on game day in person.
However, this week’s NFL scouting combine is the first time Telesco can evaluate all of those prospects side-by-side as they compete in on-field drills, along with conducting in-person interviews and collecting the all-important medical exam results.
In short, this week in Indianapolis NFL teams will begin to put together a more comprehensive picture of what players they could potentially draft in April.
