Combine workouts begin; final group arrives … All four positional groupings are now in Indianapolis for this year’s scouting combine. The offensive linemen and RBs, the last group to arrive, will go through registration and orientation today, while the QBs and receivers go through their general medical exams, the defensive backs and specialists will have their orthopaedic exams and meet with the NFLPA, and the defensive linemen and LBs will be on the field for the physical testing and positional drills; they’ll also be measured and weighed. The on-field testing will be televised by the NFL Network beginning at 3 PM ET later this afternoon. And remember, as we noted yesterday, while everybody wants to run a 4.3 40 the real goal for the players and the scouts is to check off boxes; are they in fact fast enough for their position and/or current grade. As usual, we’ll be tracking the highs and lows of today’s workout and measurement session.
