The 2019 NFL Scouting Combine is nearly here, which is a huge event in the NFL’s calendar. But while every position group attends and works out, it doesn’t carry the same weight for every position. For instance, while a running back turning a 40 yard dash in the 4.2’s is exciting, the traits that make a great back aren’t easily measured by a stopwatch.
For the EDGE position, however, the combine carries quite a bit of weight. The fact of the matter is that it is very rare for a pass rusher without elite traits to be consistently successful in the NFL.
