INDIANAPOLIS — Earlier this week, when it became clear that Rome Odunze was the highest rated prospect who would actually participate fully in this week’s NFL scouting combine, the Washington Huskies wideout fielded a question that has essentially become a defining North Star for the elite players at this year’s event. Why do it? All three of the top quarterbacks declined to do on-field work, with LSU’s Jayden Daniels refusing to even be weighed or measured. The top tight end, Brock… Source link

The defensive backs and tight ends take center stage during their workout sessions at the 2024 NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis on Friday. While Toledo CB Quinyon Mitchell didn’t fail to disappoint with an unofficial 4.3-second run in the 40-yard dash, Clemson CB Nate Wiggins topped him with a 4.28.

The most likely road they could take — assuming combine boarding conditions don’t change — is to encourage their clients not to perform the on-field workouts at the combine, according to conversations Yahoo Sports has had with multiple agents, as well as from… Source link

The NFL scouting combine is scheduled to begin on March 1, but whether or not the 2022 NFL draft’s top players participate is apparently a question mark at this point. Due to discontent over the NFL’s bubble rules at the combine, agents representing more than 150 of the draft’s prospects are organizing a boycott of all testing, on-field workouts and interviews at Lucas Oil Stadium, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Justin Herbert did something no other QB was able to do during the first half of Sunday’s Pro Bowl: He failed to throw an interception. The NFC and AFC teams combined to throw six interceptions in a high-scoring first half that saw all six QBs get significant playing time. Russell Wilson threw two interceptions in eight pass attempts for the NFC while Kyler Murray and Kirk Cousins each had a pick. On the AFC side, Patrick Mahomes and Mac Jones each threw an interception among their 12… Source link
