    Even funnier considering the fans have never seen 90% of these combine demons play a snap of football... But their insight on a 30 second highlight film makes up for it lol

    I haven’t watched near as much tape this year on prospects, but the guys I wanted to watch have done well

    Fans...FANS? "Watched tape" my ****ing ass.

    The experts have only seen highlights...the ones who make money at it have a few muppets sitting around at screens and dialing it all down to something *that guy* can digest, i.e. "highlights"

    There is no way, NO WAY, that these people can watch all (quarter/half/third) of the games of the prospects they pretend to know everything about.

    How many reps did he get on the bench though?

    I remember a few years ago a former player ( I can't remember who) compared the combine to modern day slave ****. His comment gained a lil bit of traction from some incoming youngsters. but it seemed to fade after some workout warrior shooting up the draft to get in the 1st rd.. My memory eludes me.. After that, mfers were like " **** what he said, I'll be there".. lol

    Luke McCaffrey has some quickness. He was 1st in the 20yd shuttle drill, 2nd in the 3 cone drill, and 4th in the 10yd split. He also ran a respectable 4.46 in the 40.

    "The Underwear Games"

    or something like that

    Guys will shed weight over 4 months to get in "combine shape"...not "playing shape". But they gotta run a bit faster.

    I loved that Sweat showed up at ~366lb...which is what he weighed in the Fall, what he played at, and what he said he'll play at in training camp next season.

    He'd be someone to look at in the 4th if we don't get a WR early. He looks to have the whole package and also has the pedigree.

    This is what I'm thinking. Weapons for Stroud.

    "seemed to prompt Sarkisian to tell the media early last fall camp that Worthy played half of 2022 with a broken wrist for what that’s worth"

    It's worth being true, unless you think a bunch of doctors are lying too

    The “experts” can’t even handle watching all the NFL teams taking part in the draft.. much less the college kids.

    that’s how you get Mel kiper mocking us an OT with our first round pick…

    I do feel like some are useful:
    Broad jump and the 3-cone drill /shuttle
    Gauntlet for receivers

    But the 40-time is sooo flashy!
