INDIANAPOLIS — On a Wednesday afternoon on the second floor of the Indiana Convention Center, quarterback draft prospect Davis Webb practiced 40-yard dash starts in the middle of a hallway between conference rooms and the bathroom.
“Ready, go!” shouted a member of Webb’s posse, standing to the side with a timer in one hand and a video camera in the other.
Webb burst off the line, in this case a stripe of masking tape on the Convention Center’s maroon, brown and orange carpeting, and then slowed, letting momentum carry him a few strides further before stopping. He walked back to his group where the man with the camera was shaking his head in frustration.
