INDIANAPOLIS — The NFL Combine has turned into its own television event, full of hype and sensationalism that might lead some to believe entire draft profiles were flipped.

Interesting.
Long line of very high caliber Dawgs!
Go, Dawgs!
Seems like… for QBs… you left out a few things. However, of course, there isn’t an objective way to measure throwing performance at the combine—except the ball speed drill. 🤷🏻♂️
@hemingwey -- not all the QBs tested in all the events --- for the purposes of archiving, I have the 40, BJ, VJ and Bench going back 20 years
True.
In any event, I thought Bennett had a better than expected Combine, notably in the ball speed drill, 20 yard shuttle, and his throws in general. I think his performance will help him somewhat in the draft.
SB now expected to go early on day 3 or in the 4th round. I say he slips into the 3rd round with his good showing. His 59 mph velocity is up there with the stronger arm qb’s for comparison Jalen Hurts was 54-55 and Patrick Mahoney was 61.
@MikeGriffith Great write up Mike !! Couldn’t agree more that NFL teams won’t just toss game film in lieu of one day drills at a combine. Everything is factored in. The Combine is fun to watch. And it Is considered to some degree I’m sure, but it’s not the whole enchilada !! That’s why I think though Kenny Mac’s 40 time was only so-so, these scouts have probably seen him live in real games, and if not will certainly review film. I Do hope he has a great Pro-Day to help pad his stock a smidge though. Go Dawgs !!
Leonard Pope and Ben Watson, those were two great Dawgs before Darnell’s time. I can almost visualize Leonard Pope in my mind even now !!
