In a country obsessed with football, how former college players perform under the bright lights and in front of eyeballs of general managers, owners and scouts holding stopwatches carry great interest. Rejoice: the Underwear Olympics are upon us.
The 2017 NFL Combine won't have as much Ohio State flavor as a year ago when 14 former Buckeyes worked out at Lucas Oil Stadium. Instead, eight players that served key roles in the team's 11-2 season and run to the 2016 College Football Playoff take center stage. At least in terms of Buckeye world.
Some players began arriving in Indianapolis on Tuesday and the first set of on-field workouts is scheduled for Thursday.
