The NFL Combine is less than a month away. It’s set to begin on Feb. 23 and, obviously, that’s when draft season begins officially ramping up.
Players will participate in athletic and positional drills. Teams will also get their first chance to talk to many of the players. The combine is where connections are made and draft boards start coming together.
For example, last year, Garrett Bradbury went from the third center on the board and a likely second or third-round pick, to a top-20 pick. He’s not the only one. Darnell Savage shot up from the third round to the first due to his combine and private workouts.
